In \cite{MV} we defined and proved the consistency of the principle ${\rm GM}^+(\omega_3,\omega_1)$ which implies that many consequences of strong forcing axioms hold simultaneously at $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$. In this paper we formulate a…
For each $n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $[n]\phi$ mean "the sentence $\phi$ is true in all $\Sigma_{n+1}$-correct transitive sets." Assuming G\"odel's axiom $V = L$, we prove the following graded variant of Solovay's completeness theorem: the set of…
Let $\{S_i\}_{i=1}^\ell$ be an iterated function system (IFS) on $\R^d$ with attractor $K$. Let $(\Sigma,\sigma)$ denote the one-sided full shift over the alphabet $\{1,..., \ell\}$. We define the projection entropy function $h_\pi$ on the…
Suppose that $\Sigma$ is a hyperbolic surface and $f:\mathbb R_+\to\mathbb R_+$ a monotonic function. We study the closure in the projective tangent bundle $PT\Sigma$ of the set of all geodesics $\gamma$ satisfying $I(\gamma,\gamma)\leq…
In this note we study a family of graphs of groups over arbitrary base graphs where all vertex groups are isomorphic to a fixed countable sofic group $G$, and all edge groups $H<G$ are such that the embeddings of $H$ into $G$ are identical…
Fixing some computably enumerable theory $T$, the Friedman-Goldfarb-Harrington (FGH) theorem says that over elementary arithmetic, each $\Sigma_1$ formula is equivalent to some formula of the form $\Box_T \varphi$ provided that $T$ is…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma$ a partition of the set of all? primes $\Bbb{P}$, that is, $\sigma =\{\sigma_i \mid i\in I \}$, where $\Bbb{P}=\bigcup_{i\in I} \sigma_i$ and $\sigma_i\cap \sigma_j= \emptyset $ for all $i\ne j$. If $n$…
Let $\sigma=(\sigma_1,..., \sigma_N)$, where $\sigma_i =\pm 1$, and let $C(\sigma)$ denote the number of permutations $\pi$ of $1,2,..., N+1,$ whose up-down signature $\mathrm{sign}(\pi(i+1)-\pi(i))=\sigma_i$, for $i=1,...,N$. We prove that…
Let $\mathcal S$ denote the class of all functions of the form $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$ which are analytic and univalent in the open unit disk $\ID$ and, for $\lambda >0$, let $\Phi_\lambda (n,f)=\lambda a_n^2-a_{2n-1}$ denote the…
We prove some results on the behavior of infinite sums of the form $\Sigma f\circ T^n(x)\frac{1}{n}$, where $T:S^1\to S^1$ is an irrational circle rotation and $f$ is a mean-zero function on $S^1$. In particular, we show that for a certain…
A conformal metric $g$ with constant curvature one and finite conical singularities on a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ can be thought of as the pullback of the standard metric on the 2-sphere by a multi-valued locally univalent…
We present a generalization of first-order unification to a term algebra where variable indexing is part of the object language. We exploit variable indexing by associating some sequences of variables ($X_0,\ X_1,\ X_2,\dots$) with a…
An integer-valued sequence $\pi=(d_1, \ldots, d_n)$ is {\em graphic} if there is a simple graph $G$ with degree sequence of $\pi$. We say the $\pi$ has a realization $G$. Let $Z_3$ be a cyclic group of order three. A graph $G$ is {\em…
It is well known that the Riemann zeta function, as well as several other $L$-functions, is universal in the strip $1/2<\sigma<1$; this is certainly not true for $\sigma>1$. Answering a question of Bombieri and Ghosh, we give a simple…
We describe a construction of a model of second order arithmetic in which (boldface) $\bm{\Pi^1_n}$-determinacy holds, but (lightface) $\Pi^1_{n+2}$-$\mathsf{DC}$ fails, thus showing that no projective level of determinacy implies full…
Let $f: V(G)\cup E(G)\rightarrow \{1,2,\dots,k\}$ be a non-proper total $k$-coloring of $G$. Define a weight function on total coloring as $$\phi(x)=f(x)+\sum\limits_{e\ni x}f(e)+\sum\limits_{y\in N(x)}f(y),$$ where $N(x)=\{y\in V(G)|xy\in…
In a handwtitten note of 1975, Leo Harrington sketched a construction of a model of ZFC (no large cardinals or anything beyond ZFC!) in which $\mathbf\Pi^1_3$-Separation holds but $\mathbf\Sigma^1_3$-Reduction fails. The result has never…
We derive an integral expression $G(z)$ for the reciprocal gamma function, $1/\Gamma(z)=G(z)/\pi$, that is valid for all $z\in\mathbb{C}$, without the need for analytic continuation. The same integral avoids the singularities of the gamma…
Let $G$ be a graph. A good function is a function $f:V(G)\rightarrow \{-1,1\}$, satisfying $f(N(v))\geq 1$, for each $v\in V(G)$, where $ N(v)=\{u\in V(G)\, |\, uv\in E(G) \} $ and $f(S) = \sum_{u\in S} f(u)$ for every $S \subseteq V(G) $.…
For functions $f(z)= z+ a_2 z^2 + a_3 z^3 + \cdots$ in various subclasses of normalized analytic functions, we consider the problem of estimating the generalized Zalcman coefficient functional $\phi(f,n,m;\lambda):=|\lambda a_n a_m…
