In this note we prove that the factorization theorem for dominated polynomials previously proved by the authors is equivalent to an alternative factorization scheme that uses classical linear techniques and a linearization process. However,…
The first and second representation theorems for sign-indefinite, not necessarily semi-bounded quadratic forms are revisited. New straightforward proofs of these theorems are given. A number of necessary and sufficient conditions ensuring…
Assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, there is a compact first countable connected space of weight aleph_1 with no totally disconnected perfect subsets. Each such space, however, may be destroyed by some proper forcing order which does not add…
In this paper we present new, short and elementary proofs of the famous projection and section theorems that are used in Stochastic Calculus.
We introduce the notion of effective Axiom A and use it to show that some popular tree forcings are Suslin+. We introduce transitive nep and present a simplified version of Shelah's "preserving a little implies preserving much": If I is a…
We give another bit of evidence that forcing axioms provide proper framework for rigidity of quotient structures, by improving the OCA lifting theorem proved by the author in late 20th century and greatly simplifying its proof. In the…
We are interested in building schemes for the compressible Euler equations that are also locally conserving the angular momentum. We present a general framework, describe a few examples of schemes and show results. These schemes can be of…
We consider here Easton support iterations of Prikry type forcing notions. New ways of constructing normal ultrafilters in extensions are presented. It turns out that, in contrast with other supports, seemingly unrelated measures or…
We apply an inductive argument to three theorems of Cantor on (1) the uncountability of infinite binary sequences, (2) the uncountability of real numbers, and (3) the non-equinumerosity of sets with their powersets. This technique proves…
We consider controllability for divergence-free systems that have a conserved quantity and satisfy a H\"ormander condition. It is shown that such systems are controllable, provided that the conserved quantity is a proper function. The proof…
It is shown that quantum fluctuation theorems remain unaffected if measurements of any kind and number of observables are performed during the action of a force protocol. That is, although the backward and forward probabilities entering the…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate forcing as a tool to construct universal models. In particular, we look at theories of initial segments of the universe and show that any model of a sufficiently rich fragment of those theories…
We analyze a category of problems that is of interest in many physical situations, including those encountered in introductory physics classes: systems with two well-delineated parts that exchange energy, eventually reaching a shared…
We generalize the notion of proof term to the realm of transfinite reduction. Proof terms represent reductions in the first-order term format, thereby facilitating their formal analysis. We show that any transfinite reduction can be…
We study first-order concatenation theory with bounded quantifiers. We give axiomatizations with interesting properties, and we prove some normal-form results. Finally, we prove a number of decidability and undecidability results.
Martin's Conjecture is a proposed classification of the definable functions on the Turing degrees. It is usually divided into two parts, the first of which classifies functions which are not above the identity and the second of which…
Ramsey theory and forcing have a symbiotic relationship. At the RIMS Symposium on Infinite Combinatorics and Forcing Theory in 2016, the author gave three tutorials on Ramsey theory in forcing. The first two tutorials concentrated on…
We prove some general theorems for preserving Dependent Choice when taking symmetric extensions, some of which are unwritten folklore results. We apply these to various constructions to obtain various simple consistency proofs.
We study sigma-ideals and regularity properties related to the "filter-Laver" and "dual-filter-Laver" forcing partial orders. An important innovation which enables this study is a dichotomy theorem proved recently by Miller [1]. [1] Arnold…
We establish coupled fixed point theorems for contraction involving rational expressions in partially ordered metric spaces.
