We show that for arbitrary linearly ordered set $X$ any bounded family of (not necessarily, continuous) real valued functions on $X$ with bounded total variation does not contain independent sequences. We obtain generalized Helly's…
In the context of space-time block codes (STBCs), the theory of generalized quaternion and biquaternion algebras (i.e., tensor products of two quaternion algebras) over arbitrary base fields is presented, as well as quadratic form theoretic…
Milliken's tree theorem is a deep result in combinatorics that generalizes a vast number of other results in the subject, most notably Ramsey's theorem and its many variants and consequences. Motivated by a question of Dobrinen, we initiate…
We present an elementary pedagogical derivation of the Brillouin-Wigner and the Rayleigh-Schr\"odinger perturbation theories with Epstein-Nesbet partitioning. A variant of the Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theory is also introduced, which…
The main result of this paper is to show that all binomial identities are orderable. This is a natural statement in the combinatorial theory of finite sets, which can also be applied in distributed computing to derive new strong bounds on…
The Dense Hindman's Theorem states that, in any finite coloring of the integers, one may find a single color and a "dense" set $B_1$, for each $b_1\in B_1$ a "dense" set $B_2^{b_1}$ (depending on $b_1$), for each $b_2\in B_2^{b_1}$ a…
We classify certain categories of partitions of finite sets subject to specific rules on the colorization of points and the sizes of blocks. More precisely, we consider pair partitions such that each block contains exactly one white and one…
Kingman's Theorem on skeleton limits---passing from limits as $n\to \infty $ along $nh$ ($n\in \mathbb{N}$) for enough $h>0$ to limits as $t\to \infty $ for $t\in \mathbb{R}$---is generalized to a Baire/measurable setting via a topological…
This paper studies the structure of finite hyperfields $H$, and finds a subtle pattern in their addition operation. Consider the class $\mathcal{H}$ of all hyperfields with a given multiplicative group on $H^\times = H - \{0\}$ and given…
Let X be a smooth projective variety over a field k. For k separably closed, we prove that the subgroup of unramified classes in the Milnor K-group $K^M_i(k(X))$ of the function field of X is contained in the subgroup of n-divisible…
We provide new Schmidt-type results through an investigation of two bijections, which are results involving partitions with parts counted only at given indices. Mork's bijection, the first of these, was originally given as a proof of…
For any unitary matrix there exists a ZXZ decomposition, according to a theorem by Idel and Wolf. For any even-dimensional unitary matrix there exists a block-ZXZ decomposition, according to a theorem by F\"uhr and Rzeszotnik. We conjecture…
We extend a result on renormalized oscillation theory, originally derived for Sturm-Liouville and Dirac-type operators on arbitrary intervals in the context of scalar coefficients, to the case of general Hamiltonian systems with block…
It is becoming increasingly clear that the supercharacter theory of the finite group of unipotent upper-triangular matrices has a rich combinatorial structure built on set-partitions that is analogous to the partition combinatorics of the…
A sequence $s_1,s_2,\ldots, s_k$ of elements of a group $G$ is called a valid ordering if the partial products $s_1, s_1 s_2, \ldots, s_1\cdots s_k$ are all distinct. A long-standing problem in combinatorial group theory asks whether, for a…
Two applications of Nash-Williams' theory of barriers to sequences on Banach spaces are presented: The first one is the $c_0$-saturation of $C(K)$, $K$ countable compacta. The second one is the construction of weakly-null sequences…
We show a general scheme of Ramsey-type results for partitions of countable sets of finite functions, where "one piece is big" is interpreted in the language originating in creature forcing. The heart of our proofs follows Glazer's proof of…
We state the Ramsey property of classes of ordered structures with closures and given local properties. This generalises many old and new results: the Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il-R\"{o}dl Theorem, the author's Ramsey lift of bowtie-free graphs as well…
A well-known application of the Ramsey Theorem in the Banach Space Theory is the proof of the fact that every normalized basic sequence has a subsequence which generates a spreading model (the Brunel-Sucheston Theorem). Based on this…
By the Telescope Conjecture for Module Categories, we mean the following claim: "Let R be any ring and (A, B) be a hereditary cotorsion pair in Mod-R with A and B closed under direct limits. Then (A, B) is of finite type." We prove a…
