We prove the Borel Conjecture for a class of groups containing word-hyperbolic groups and groups acting properly, isometrically and cocompactly on a finite dimensional CAT(0)-space.

Let $d_1,...,d_r$ be positive integers and let $I = (F_1,...,F_r)$ be an ideal generated by general forms of degrees $d_1,...,d_r$, respectively, in a polynomial ring $R$ with $n$ variables. When all the degrees are the same we give a…

For each $a \in \mathbb{R}$, we define a Borel function $f_a : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ which encodes $a$ in a certain sense. We show that for each Borel $g : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$, $f_a \cap g = \emptyset$ implies $a \in…

Let $f$ be a genus two cuspidal Siegel modular eigenform. We prove an adelic open image theorem for the compatible system of Galois representations associated to $f$, generalising the results of Ribet and Momose for elliptic modular forms.…

In two dimensions, Gallagher's theorem is a strengthening of the Littlewood conjecture that holds for almost all pairs of real numbers. We prove an inhomogeneous fibre version of Gallagher's theorem, sharpening and making unconditional a…

We provide new techniques to construct sets of reals without perfect subsets and with the Hurewicz or Menger covering properties. In particular, we show that if the Continuum Hypothesis holds, then there are such sets which can be mapped…

We prove that the so-called uniadic graph and its adic automorphism are Borel universal, i.e., every aperiodic Borel automorphism is isomorphic to the restriction of this automorphism to a subset invariant under the adic transformation, the…

We define the property of Pi_2-compactness of a statement phi of set theory, meaning roughly that the hard core of the impact of phi on combinatorics of aleph_1 can be isolated in a canonical model for the statement phi. We show that the…

Suppose $\Lambda$ is a discrete infinite set of nonnegative real numbers. We say that $ {\Lambda}$ is type $1$ if the series $s(x)=\sum_{\lambda\in\Lambda}f(x+\lambda)$ satisfies a zero-one law. This means that for any non-negative…

In the paper we introduce a new family of "small" sets which is tightly connected with two well known $\sigma$-ideals: of Haar-null sets and of Haar-meager sets. We define a subset $A$ of a topological group $X$ to be…

The purpose of the present paper is to show that: Eilenberg-type correspondences = Birkhoff's theorem for (finite) algebras + duality. We consider algebras for a monad T on a category D and we study (pseudo)varieties of T-algebras.…

Given two hyperbolic curves over p-adic local fields, the absolute anabelian conjecture claims that any isomorphism between their \'etale fundamental group comes from an isomorphism of schemes. This conjecture was proven by S. Mochizuki for…

We provide explicit formulas for the number of ad-nilpotent ideals of a Borel subalgebra of a complex simple Lie algebra having fixed class of nilpotence.

It is established that there exists an absolute constant $c>0$ such that for any finite set $A$ of positive real numbers $$|AA+A| \gg |A|^{\frac{3}{2}+c}.$$ On the other hand, we give an explicit construction of a finite set $A \subset…

The algebraic geometry of a universal algebra $\mathbf{A}$ is defined as the collection of solution sets of term equations. Two algebras $\mathbf{A}_1$ and $\mathbf{A}_2$ are called algebraically equivalent if they have the same algebraic…

We give a different and probably more elementary proof of a good part of Jean Taylor's regularity theorem for Almgren almost-minimal sets of dimension 2 in $\R^3$. We use this opportunity to settle some details about almost-minimal sets,…

In this article we introduce a definition of topological minimal sets, which is a generalization of that of Mumford-Shah-minimal sets. We prove some general properties as well as two existence theorems for topological minimal sets. As an…

We notice that for any positive integer $k$, the set of $(1,2)$-specialized characters of level $k$ standard $A_{1}^{(1)}$-modules is the same as the set of rescaled graded dimensions of the subspaces of level $2k+1$ standard…

We prove in ZF a recursive-theoretic characterization of the Topological Vaught Conjecture by revisiting the fact that orbits in Polish $G$-spaces are Borel sets.

Let $Bo(T,\tau)$ be the Borel $\sigma$-algebra generated by the topology $\tau$ on $T$. In this paper we show that if $K$ is a Hausdorff compact space, then every subset of $K$ is a Borel set if, and only if,…
