A set X subseteq R is strongly meager if for every measure zero set H, X+H not= R. Let SM denote the collection of strongly meager sets. We show that assuming CH, SM is not an ideal.

We present a general procedure to construct examples of convex scalar variational problems which admit a minimizers with large singular sets. The dimension of the set of singularities is maximal and the minimizer has no higher integrability…

The paper contains two results pointing to the lack of symmetry between measure and category. Assume CH. There exists a strongly meager subset of the Cantor set that can be mapped onto the Cantor set by a uniformly continuous function. (It…

We show that the following are consistent with ZFC: 1. Strongly meager sets form an ideal with the same additivity as the ideal of meager sets. 2. There exists a strong measure zero set of size > d (dominating number).

We will show that there is no ZFC example of a set distinguishing between universally null and perfectly meager sets.

We present two constructions of gamma-sets which are large in sense of category.

We construct normal rationally connected varieties (of arbitrarily large dimension) not containing any smooth rational curves.

We work in the realm of sets of reals. We prove that in the Miller model and in a model constructed by Goldstern-Judah-Shelah all universally meager sets have size at most $\omega_1$. Some relations between combinatorial covering properties…

Suppose $a_n$ is a real, nonnegative sequence that does not increase exponentially. For any $p<1$ we contruct a Lebesgue measurable set $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ which has measure at least $p$ in any unit interval and which contains no…

We prove that there exist no weak $\varepsilon$-nets of constant size for lines and convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$.

Using combinatorial covering properties, we show that there is no concentrated set of reals of size $\omega_2$ in the Miller model. The main result refutes a conjecture of Bartoszy\'{n}ski and Halbeisen. We also prove that there are no…

The results in this paper are of two types. On one hand, we construct sets of large Fourier dimension that avoid nontrivial solutions of certain classes of linear equations. In particular, given any finite collection of…

In this paper we give an example of a closed, strongly one-sided dense set which is not of uniform density type. We also show that there is a set of uniform density type which is not of strong uniform density type.

We show that non-occurrence of the Lavrentiev phenomenon does not imply that the singular set is small. Precisely, given a compact Lebesgue null subset of the line $E$ and an arbitrary superlinearity, there exists a smooth, strictly convex…

We expand the class of linear symmetric equations for which large sets with no non-trivial solutions are known. Our idea is based on first finding a small set with no solutions and then enlarging it to arbitrary size using a…

For each $n\geq2$ we construct an unbounded closed pseudoconcave complete pluripolar set $\mathcal E$ in $\mathbb C^n$ which contains no analytic variety of positive dimension (we call it a \textit{Wermer type set}). We also construct an…

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…

A subset $M$ of a continuum $X$ is called a \textit{meager composant} if $M$ is maximal with respect to the property that every two of its points are contained in a nowhere dense subcontinuum of $X$. Motivated by questions of Bellamy,…

In this paper we give the first examples of positive closed currents in $\mathbb{C}^2$ with continuous potentials, vanishing self-intersection, and which are not laminar. More precisely, they are supported on sets "without analytic…

We construct Salem sets in $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ of any dimension (including $1$) which do not contain any arithmetic progressions of length $3$. Moreover, the sets can be taken to be Ahlfors regular if the dimension is less than $1$, and…
