Alavi, Malde, Schwenk and Erd\H{o}s asked whether the independent set sequence of every tree is unimodal. Here we make some observations about this question. We show that for the uniformly random (labelled) tree, asymptotically almost…
We study the question of whether a given regular language of finite trees can be defined in first-order logic. We develop an algebraic approach to address this question and we use it to derive several necessary and sufficient conditions for…
Recently, we have shown that satisfiability for $\mathsf{ECTL}^*$ with constraints over $\mathbb{Z}$ is decidable using a new technique. This approach reduces the satisfiability problem of $\mathsf{ECTL}^*$ with constraints over some…
In this paper, first some results of [5] are extended for subadditive separating maps between C(X;E) and C(Y;E), such that E is a unital Banach algebra. Then we give some conditions under which a strongly subadditive map has a unique fixed…
We show that if a topological or paratopological group $G$ contains a stationary subset of some regular uncountable cardinal, then $G$ contains a subspace which is not collectionwise normal. This statement implies that if a monotonically…
For a global field K and an elliptic curve E_eta over K(T), Silverman's specialization theorem implies that rank(E_eta(K(T))) <= rank(E_t(K)) for all but finitely many t in P^1(K). If this inequality is strict for all but finitely many t,…
The classical Aronszajn-Donoghue theorem states that for a rank one perturbation of a self-adjoint operator (by a cyclic vector) the singular parts of the spectral measures of the original and perturbed operators are mutually singular. As…
An electrical network with the structure of a random tree is considered: starting from a root vertex, in one iteration each leaf (a vertex with zero or one adjacent edges) of the tree is extended by either a single edge with probability $p$…
The working-set bound [Sleator and Tarjan, J. ACM, 1985] roughly states that searching for an element is fast if the element was accessed recently. Binary search trees, such as splay trees, can achieve this property in the amortized sense,…
We show that the existence of a well-known type of ideals on a regular cardinal $\lambda$ implies a compactness property concerning the specialisability of a tree of height $\lambda$ with no cofinal branches. We also use Neeman's method of…
We study an abstract notion of tree structure which lies at the common core of various tree-like discrete structures commonly used in combinatorics: trees in graphs, order trees, nested subsets of a set, tree-decompositions of graphs and…
The monadic second-order theory of trees allows quantification over elements and over arbitrary subsets. We classify the class of trees with respect to the question: does a tree T have definable Skolem functions (by a monadic formula with…
Arboreal singularities are an important class of Lagrangian singularities. They are conical, meaning that they can be understood by studying their links, which are singular Legendrian spaces in $S^{2n-1}_{\text{std}}$. Loose Legendrians are…
We comment on a question of Justin Moore on colourings of pairs of nodes in an Aronszajn tree and solve an instance of it.
The number of embeddings of a partially ordered set $S$ in a partially ordered set $T$ is the number of subposets of $T$ isomorphic to $S$. If both, $S$ and $T$, have only one unique maximal element, we define good embeddings as those in…
Exceptional modules are tree modules. A tree module usually has many tree bases and the corresponding coefficient quivers may look quite differently. The aim of this note is to introduce a class of exceptional modules which have a…
A set of integers $S \subset \mathbb{N}$ is an $\alpha$-strong Sidon set if the pairwise sums of its elements are far apart by a certain measure depending on $\alpha$, more specifically if $| (x+w) - (y+z) | \geq \max \{…
Let E --> C be an elliptic surface defined over a number field K. For each finite covering C' --> C defined over K, let E' --> C' be the pullback. We give a strong upper bound for the rank of E'(C'/K) in the case that C' --> C is an…
This paper proves a conjecture by Solomon about Steiner shallow-light trees (SLT) in Euclidean $d$-space: It is shown that for any finite point set $\mathbb{R}^d$, any root, and any $\epsilon>0$, there is a Euclidean Steiner…
In this paper we prove that every definable set has a definable triangulation which is locally Lipschitz and weakly bi-Lipschitz on the natural simplicial stratification of the simplicial complex. We also distinguish a class T of regularity…
