Let $(x_n)$ be a sequence in a Banach space $X$ which does not converge in norm, and let $E$ be an isomorphically precisely norming set for $X$ such that \[ \sum_n |x^*(x_{n+1}-x_n)|< \infty, \; \forall x^* \in E. \qquad (*) \] Then there…

We completely characterize non-periodic balanced weighted shifts $S_{\lambdab}$ on rooted directed trees under a very mild assumption that $S_{\lambdab}^{*n}S_{\lambdab}^n|_{\ker S_{\lambdab}^*}$ is invertible operator on $\ker…

We define a global rank for partial types based in a generalization of Shelah trees. We prove an equivalence with the depth of a localized version of the constructions known as dividing sequence and dividing chain. This rank characterizes…

We introduce some new symmetric tensor categories based on the combinatorics of trees: a discrete family $\mathcal{D}(n)$, for $n \ge 3$ an integer, and a continuous family $\mathcal{C}(t)$, for $t \ne 1$ a complex number. The construction…

Let $T$ be a tree with an irreducible characteristic polynomial $\phi(x)$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $\Delta(T)$ be the discriminant of $\phi(x)$. It is proved that if $2^{-\frac n2}\sqrt{\Delta(T)}$ (which is always an integer) is odd and…

An infinite dimensional notion of asymptotic structure is considered. This notion is developed in terms of trees and branches on Banach spaces. Every countably infinite countably branching tree $\mathcal T$ of a certain type on a space X is…

Suppose $A\subset \mathbb{R}$ of size $k$ has distinct consecutive $r$--differences, that is for $1 \leq i \leq k -r$, the $r$--tuples $$(a_{i+1} - a_i , \ldots , a_{i+r} - a_{i + r -1})$$ are distinct. Then for any finite $B \subset…

We prove that every connected graph with $s$ vertices of degree~1 and 3 and $t$ vertices of degree at least~4 has a spanning tree with at least ${1\over 3}t +{1\over 4}s+{3\over 2}$ leaves. We present infinite series of graphs showing that…

An automaton is unambiguous if for every input it has at most one accepting computation. An automaton is k-ambiguous (for k > 0) if for every input it has at most k accepting computations. An automaton is boundedly ambiguous if it is…

A tree T is invertible if and only if T has a perfect matching. Godsil considers an invertible tree T and finds that the inverse of the adjacency matrix of T has entries in {0, 1, -1} and is the signed adjacency matrix of a graph which…

We continue the study of token sliding reconfiguration graphs of independent sets initiated by the authors in an earlier paper (arXiv:2203.16861). Two of the topics in that paper were to study which graphs $G$ are token sliding graphs and…

For each Turing machine T, we construct an algebra A'(T) such that the variety generated by A'(T) has definable principal subcongruences if and only if T halts, thus proving that the property of having definable principal subcongruences is…

We prove that mu = mu^{< mu}, 2^mu = mu^+ and ``there is a non reflecting stationary subset of mu^+ composed of ordinals of cofinality < mu'' imply that there is a mu-complete Souslin tree on mu^+ .

We say that a real X is n-generic relative to a perfect tree T if X is a path through T and for all Sigma^0_n (T) sets S, there exists a number k such that either X|k is in S or for all tau in T extending X|k we have tau is not in S. A real…

Ge, Rusjan, and Zweifel (J. Stat. Phys. 59, 1265 (1990)) introduced a binary tree which represents all the periodic windows in the chaotic regime of iterated one-dimensional unimodal maps. We consider the scaling behavior in a modified tree…

If a separable Banach space $X$ is such that for some nonquasireflexive Banach space $Y$ there exists a surjective strictly singular operator $T:X\to Y$ then for every countable ordinal $\alpha $ the dual of $X$ contains a subspace whose…

We introduce the idea of a weakly entangled linear order, and show that it is consistent for a Suslin line to be weakly entangled. We generalize the notion of entangled linear orders to $\omega_1$-trees, and prove that an $\omega_1$-tree is…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and let $D(G)$ be the diagonal matrix of the degrees of $G$. For every real $\alpha\in\left[ 0,1\right],$ define the matrix $A_{\alpha}\left(G\right) $ as \[ A_{\alpha}\left(G\right) =\alpha…

We prove, that every connected graph with $s$ vertices of degree 3 and $t$ vertices of degree at least~4 has a spanning tree with at least ${2\over 5}t +{1\over 5}s+\alpha$ leaves, where $\alpha \ge {8\over 5}$. Moreover, $\alpha \ge 2$ for…

Motivated by the goal of constructing a model in which there are no $\kappa$-Aronszajn trees for any regular $\kappa>\aleph_1$, we produce a model with many singular cardinals where both the singular cardinals hypothesis and weak square…
