This expository article is an expanded version of talks given at the "Current Developments in Mathematics, 2002" conference. It gives an introduction to the (generalized) conjecture of Rapoport and Goresky-MacPherson which identifies the…
General expository paper concerning topics in Hilbert spaces, spectral theory, and harmonic analysis. The preliminary section includes basic Banach algebra and Hilbert space theory with a digression on Riesz bases. The second and third…
We comment on a recent paper that connects certain forms of machine learning to Set Theory. We point out that part of the set-theoretic machinery is related to a result of Kuratowski about decompositions of finite powers of sets and we show…
Motivated by a class of nonlinear equations of interest for string theory, we introduce Sobolev spaces on arbitrary locally compact abelian groups and we examine some of their properties. Specifically, we focus on analogs of the Sobolev…
We study {\em $\nabla$-Sobolev spaces} and {\em $\nabla$-differential operators} with coefficients in general Hermitian vector bundles on Riemannian manifolds, stressing a coordinate free approach that uses connections (which are typically…
We study the spatially homogeneous relativistic Boltzmann equation for massless particles in an FLRW background with scattering kernels in a certain range of soft and hard potentials. We obtain the future global existence of small solutions…
The original theme of the paper is the existence proof of ``there is < eta_alpha : alpha < lambda > which is a (lambda,J)-sequence for < I_i:i<delta >, a sequence of ideals. This can be thought of as in a generalization to Luzin sets and…
We quantify Prokhorov's Theorem by establishing an explicit formula for the Hausdorff measure of non-compactness (HMNC) for the parametrized Prokhorov metric on the set of Borel probability measures on a Polish space. Furthermore, we…
We consider classification problems for manifolds and discrete subgroups of Lie groups from a descriptive set-theoretic point of view. This work is largely foundational in conception and character, recording both a framework for general…
In this survey, my aim has been to discuss the use of sequences and countable sets in general topology. In this way I have been led to consider five different classes of topological spaces: first countable spaces, sequential spaces, Frechet…
We consider parabolic Schr\"odinger type equations associated to fractional powers of uniformly elliptic 2m-order operators with constant coefficients. Potentials and initial data are considered in suitable Morrey spaces. By means of…
We develop a unified framework for locating natural properties of algebraic and analytic structures within the Borel hierarchy. Objects are presented as quotients of a universal generator and definability is read directly from the quotient…
We provide a complete classification, up to order-isomorphism, of all possible Wadge hierarchies on zero-dimensional Polish spaces using (essentially) countable ordinals as complete invariants. We also observe that although our assignment…
We provide a pointwise bipolar theorem for liminf-closed convex sets of positive Borel measurable functions on a sigma-compact metric space without the assumption that the polar is a tight set of measures. As applications we derive a…
Employing a construction of Tsirelson-like spaces due to Argyros and Deliyanni, we show that the class of all Banach spaces which are isomorphic to a subspace of $c_{0}$ is a complete analytic set with respect to the Effros Borel structure…
We study a natural measurable selection problem for which the standard uniformisation theorems do not seem to apply directly, yet a Borel selector exists. More precisely, we consider families of finite dimensional functions that admit…
We provide a family of global weighted Sobolev inequalities and Hardy inequalities on PI spaces with possibly non-maximal volume growth. Our results apply notably to non-trivial Ahlfors regular spaces like Laakso spaces and Kleiner-Schioppa…
The moduli space of planar polygons with generic side lengths is a closed, smooth manifold. Mapping a polygon to its reflected image across the $X$-axis defines a fixed-point-free involution on these moduli spaces, making them into free…
The regular open subsets of a topological space form a Boolean algebra, where the `join' of two regular open sets is the interior of the closure of their union. A `credence' is a finitely additive probability measure on this Boolean…
The discrete functional $L_p$ Minkowski problem is posed and solved. As a consequence, the general affine P\'{o}lya-Szeg\"{o} principle and the general affine Sobolev inequalities are established.
