G{\"o}del's second incompleteness theorem forbids to prove, in a given theory U, the consistency of many theories-in particular, of the theory U itself-as well as it forbids to prove the normalization property for these theories, since this…

A theorem of Sierpi\'nski says that every infinite set Q of reals contains an infinite number of disjoint subsets whose outer Lebesgue measure is the same as that of Q. He also has a similar theorem involving the Baire property. We give a…

In relation to the Erd\H os similarity problem (show that for any infinite set $A$ of real numbers there exists a set of positive Lebesgue measure which contains no affine copy of $A$) we give some new examples of infinite sets which are…

We use algorithmic methods from online learning to explore some important objects at the intersection of model theory and combinatorics, and find natural ways that algorithmic methods can detect and explain (and improve our understanding…

Let $K\subset R^n$ be a compact basic semi-algebraic set. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition (with no a priori bounding parameter) for a real sequence $y=(y_\alpha)$, $\alpha\in N^n$, to have a finite representing Borel measure…

There have been many generalizations of Shoenfield's Theorem on the absoluteness of $\Sigma^1_2$ sentences between uncountable transitive models of $\mathrm{ZFC}$. One of the strongest versions currently known deals with $\Sigma^2_1$…

A set A of positive integers is called a perfect difference set if every nonzero integer has an unique representation as the difference of two elements of A. We construct dense perfect difference sets from dense Sidon sets. As a consequence…

For any set $A$ of natural numbers with positive upper Banach density and any $k\geq 1$, we show the existence of an infinite set $B\subset{\mathbb N}$ and a shift $t\geq0$ such that $A-t$ contains all sums of $m$ distinct elements from $B$…

The Serre conjecture II predicts that every torsor under a semisimple, simply connected, algebraic group over a field of cohomological dimension at most 2 and of degree of imperfection at most 1 has a rational point. We generalize this…

We prove almost sure ergodic theorems for a class of systems called quasistatic dynamical systems. These results are needed, because the usual theorem due to Birkhoff does not apply in the absence of invariant measures. We also introduce…

This paper shows that finitely additive measures occur naturally in very general Divergence Theorems. The main results are two such theorems. The first proves the existence of pure normal measures for sets of finite perime- ter, which yield…

Motivated by questions asked by Erdos, we prove that any set $A\subset{\mathbb N}$ with positive upper density contains, for any $k\in{\mathbb N}$, a sumset $B_1+\cdots+B_k$, where $B_1,\dots,B_k\subset{\mathbb N}$ are infinite. Our proof…

The Kestelman-Borwein-Ditor Theorem asserts that a non-negligible subset of $\mathbb{R}$ which is Baire (=has the Baire property, BP) or measurable is shift-compact: it contains some subsequence of any null sequence to within translation by…

We construct explicit (i.e., non-random) examples of Salem sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ of dimension $s$ for every $0 \leq s \leq 2$. In particular, we give the first explicit examples of Salem sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ of dimension $0 < s < 1$.…

By a theorem proved by Erdos, Kunen and Mauldin, for any nonempty perfect set $P$ on the real line there exists a perfect set $M$ of Lebesgue measure zero such that $P+M=\mathbb{R}$. We prove a stronger version of this theorem in which the…

A classical theorem of Lusin states that all analytic sets are Lebesgue-measurable. In this article we established the reverse mathematical strength of Lusin's theorem, which depends on how precisely it is formalized. By doing so, we answer…

In the present paper and as an application of Roth's theorem concerning the rational approximation of algebraic numbers, we give a sufficient condition that will assure us that a series of positive rational terms is a transcendental number.…

For a sequence $S$ of terms from an abelian group $G$ of length $|S|$, let $\Sigma_n(S)$ denote the set of all elements that can be represented as the sum of terms in some $n$-term subsequence of $S$. When the subsum set is very small,…

Given any dimension function $h$, we construct a perfect set $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ of zero $h$-Hausdorff measure, that contains any finite polynomial pattern. This is achieved as a special case of a more general construction in which we…

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…
