Migliore-Mir\'o-Roig-Nagel [Trans. A.M.S. 2011, arXiv: 0811.1023] show that the weak Lefschetz property (WLP) can fail for an ideal I in K[x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4] generated by powers of linear forms. This is in contrast to the analogous situation…

Let $M_n$ be a sequence of finite factors with $\dim(M_n)\rightarrow \infty$ and denote $\text{\bf M}=\Pi_\omega M_n$ their ultraproduct over a free ultrafilter $\omega$. We prove that if $\text{\bf Q}\subset \text{\bf M}$ is either an…

We show that the Kadison-Singer problem, asking whether the pure states of the diagonal subalgebra $\ell^\infty\Bbb N\subset \Cal B(\ell^2\Bbb N)$ have unique state extensions to $\Cal B(\ell^2\Bbb N)$, is equivalent to a similar statement…

Given a pair of self-adjoint-preserving completely bounded maps on the same $C^*$-algebra, say that $\varphi \leq \psi$ if the kernel of $\varphi$ is a subset of the kernel of $\psi$ and $\psi \circ \varphi^{-1}$ is completely positive. The…

This paper is a continuation of \cite{zhang}, in which we established the wellposedness result and a comparison theorem for a class of one dimensional Forward-Backward SDEs. In this paper we extend the wellposedness result to high…

We observe how a classical model-theoretic fact proves the existence of many strong amalgamation bases for the class of R^\omega-embeddable von Neumann algebras, where R is the hyperfinite II_1 factor. In particular, we shows that R itself…

We show weak convergence of quantile and expectile processes to Gaussian limit processes in the space of bounded functions endowed with an appropriate semimetric which is based on the concepts of epi- and hypo convergence as introduced in…

We consider the positions of occurrences of a factor $x$ and its binary complement $\overline{x}$ in the Thue-Morse word ${\bf t} = {\tt 01101001} \cdots$, and show that these occurrences are "intertwined" in essentially two different ways.…

It is shown that, for any function $g$ that is weakly increasing on compact convex sets and has the property that if $\lambda\ge 0$ and $K^\prime$ is a translate of $\lambda K$ then $g(K^\prime) =\lambda g(K)$, then for any covering…

We canonically associate to any planar algebra two type II_{\infty} factors M_{+} and M_{-}. The subfactors constructed previously by the authors in a previous paper are isomorphic to compressions of M_{+} and M_{-} to finite projections.…

We discuss conditions under which a convex cone $\K\subset \R^{\Omega}$ admits a probability $m$ such that $\sup_{k\in \K} m(k)\leq0$. Based on these, we also characterize linear functionals that admit the representation as finitely…

We study empirical and hierarchical Bayes approaches to the problem of estimating an infinite-dimensional parameter in mildly ill-posed inverse problems. We consider a class of prior distributions indexed by a hyperparameter that quantifies…

For Hardy spaces and weighted Bergman spaces on the open unit ball in ${\mathbb C}^n$, we determine exactly when $A^p_\alpha\subset H^q$ or $H^p\subset A^q_\alpha$, where $0<q<\infty$, $0<p<\infty$, and $-\infty<\alpha<\infty$. For each…

We prove that all valid Herbrand equalities can be inter-procedurally inferred for programs where all assignments whose right-hand sides depend on at most one variable are taken into account. The analysis is based on procedure summaries…

A quandle will be called quasi-affine, if it embeds into an affine quandle. Our main result is a characterization of quasi-affine quandles, by group-theoretic properties of their displacement group, by a universal algebraic condition coming…

An arbitrary proper parabolic subalgebra ${\mathfrak p}$ of a simple complex Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}$ induces an embedding ${\mathfrak g}\hookrightarrow \mathbb W_n$, and more generally an embedding ${\mathfrak g}\hookrightarrow \mathbb…

We study the class of compact convex subsets of a topological vector space which admits a strictly convex and lower semicontinuous function. We prove that such a compact set is embeddable in a strictly convex dual Banach space endowed with…

Let $\Omega $ be an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, and let $p,\, q:\Omega \rightarrow \left[ 1,\infty \right] $ be measurable functions. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the embedding of the variable exponent space…

The unitary correlation sets defined by the first author in conjunction with tensor products of $\mathcal{U}_{nc}(n)$ are further studied. We show that Connes' embedding problem is equivalent to deciding whether or not two smaller versions…

In this paper we explore a new hierarchy of classes of languages and infinite words and its connection with complexity classes. Namely, we say that a language belongs to the class $L_k$ if it is a subset of the catenation of $k$ languages…
