This paper first proves two fixed point theorems in complete random normed modules, which are respectively the random generalizations of the classical Banach's contraction mapping principle and Browder--Kirk's fixed point theorem. As…
Informally, a mathematical statement is robust if its strength is left unchanged under variations of the statement. In this paper, we investigate the lack of robustness of Ramsey's theorem and its consequence under the frameworks of reverse…
We show that the TFNP problem RAMSEY is not black-box reducible to PIGEON, refuting a conjecture of Goldberg and Papadimitriou in the black-box setting. We prove this by giving reductions to RAMSEY from a new family of TFNP problems that…
For finite dimensional algebras over algebraically closed fields, we study the sets of pairwise Hom-orthogonal modules and obtain new results on some open conjectures on the behaviour of bricks and several related problems, which we…
We study the reverse mathematics of infinitary extensions of the Hales-Jewett theorem, due to Carlson and Simpson. These theorems have multiple applications in Ramsey's theory, such as the existence of finite big Ramsey numbers for the…
We formalize various counting principles and compare their strengths over $V^{0}$. In particular, we conjecture the following mutual independence between: (1) a uniform version of modular counting principles and the pigeonhole principle for…
We study some generalized notions of cohesiveness which arise naturally in connection with effective versions of Ramsey's Theorem. An infinite set $A$ of natural numbers is $n$--cohesive (respectively, $n$--r--cohesive) if $A$ is almost…
In contrast to the abundance of "direct" Ramsey results for classes of finite structures (such as finite ordered graphs, finite ordered metric spaces and finite posets with a linear extension), in only a handful of cases we have a…
We develop a tool for embedding almost spanning degenerate graphs of small bandwidth. As an application, we extend the blow-up lemma to degenerate graphs of small bandwidth, the bandwidth theorem to degenerate graphs, and make progress on a…
The family of finite subsets $s$ of the natural numbers such that $|s|=1+\min s$ is known as the Schreier barrier in combinatorics and Banach Space theory, and as the family of exactly $\omega$-large sets in Logic. We formulate and prove…
This treatise concerns shapes in the sense of constellations of points with various automorphisms quotiented out: continuous translations, rotations and dilations, and also discrete mirror image identification and labelling…
Earlier we showed that the Hilbert scheme of $n$ points in the plane can be identified with the Hilbert scheme of regular $S_n$ orbits on $C^{2n}$. Using this result, together with a recent theorem of Bridgeland, King and Reid on the…
We unite two themes in dyadic analysis and number theory by studying an analogue of the failure of the Hasse principle in harmonic analysis. Explicitly, we construct an explicit family of measures on the real line that are $p$-adic and…
We investigate the notion of a semi-retraction between two first order structures (in typically different signatures) that was introduced by the second author as a link between the Ramsey property and generalized indiscernible sequences. We…
Proof schemata are infinite sequences of proofs which are defined inductively. In this paper we present a general framework for schemata of terms, formulas and unifiers and define a resolution calculus for schemata of quantifier-free…
The point-to-set principle of J. Lutz and N. Lutz (2018) has recently enabled the theory of computing to be used to answer open questions about fractal geometry in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{R}^n$. These are classical questions, meaning that…
We propose to study the restriction conjecture using decoupling theorems and two-ends Furstenberg inequalities. Specifically, we pose a two-ends Furstenberg conjecture, which implies the restriction conjecture. As evidence, we prove this…
This paper classifies different fragments of the Galvin-Prikry theorem, an infinite dimensional generalization of Ramsey's theorem, in terms of their uniform computational content (Weihrauch degree). It can be seen as a continuation of…
Generalised indiscernibles highlight a strong link between model theory and structural Ramsey theory. In this paper, we use generalised indiscernibles as tools to prove results in both these areas. More precisely, we first show that a…
We introduce a minimal ZFC-internal axiom system for pre-structural data (X, A, mu, mu^{otimes 2}, R, I, Pi_R, G, E_0, eta), where Pi_R : X -> R is a designated map and G subset X x X is a measurable relation; admissible structural models…
