In the context of large cardinals, the classical diamond principle Diamond_kappa is easily strengthened in natural ways. When kappa is a measurable cardinal, for example, one might ask that a Diamond_kappa sequence anticipate every subset…

We introduce the notion of a critical cardinal as the critical point of sufficiently strong elementary embedding between transitive sets. Assuming the axiom of choice this is equivalent to measurability, but it is well-known that choice is…

Assume ZF (without the Axiom of Choice). Let $j:V_\varepsilon\to V_\delta$ be a non-trivial $\in$-cofinal $\Sigma_1$-elementary embedding, where $\varepsilon,\delta$ are limit ordinals. We prove some restrictions on the constructibility of…

For pairs of knots K and J in the three-sphere, we consider the set of four-tuples of integers (g,x,y,z) for which there is a cobordism from K to J of genus g having x, y, and z, critical points of index 0, 1, and 2, respectively. We…

We consider algebras with one binary operation $\cdot$ and one generator ({\it monogenic}) and satisfying the left distributive law $a\cdot (b\cdot c)=(a\cdot b)\cdot (a\cdot c)$. One can define a sequence of finite left-distributive…

Suppose $\kappa$ is $\lambda$-supercompact witnessed by an elementary embedding $j:V\rightarrow M$ with critical point $\kappa$, and further suppose that $F$ is a function from the class of regular cardinals to the class of cardinals…

We construct a two-parameter complex function $\eta_{\kappa \nu}:\mathbb{C}\to \mathbb{C}$, $\kappa \in (0, \infty)$, $\nu\in (0,\infty)$ that we call a holomorphic nonlinear embedding and that is given by a double series which is…

We introduce $\mathcal{B}_{\kappa}$-embeddings, nonlinear mathematical structures that connect, through smooth paths parameterized by $\kappa$, a finite or denumerable set of objects at $\kappa=0$ (e.g. numbers, functions, vectors,…

Relative equilibria of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems with symmetry are critical points of appropriate scalar functions parametrized by the Lie algebra (or its dual) of the symmetry group. Setting aside the structures - symplectic,…

We consider the master functions associated with one irreducible integrable highest weight representation of a Kac-Moody algebra. We study the generation procedure of new critical points from a given critical point of one of these master…

Nonexpansive mappings play a central role in modern optimization and monotone operator theory because their fixed points can describe solutions to optimization or critical point problems. It is known that when the mappings are sufficiently…

It is proved that some set of the values of $|\zeta(\sigma_0+i\vp_1(t))|^2$ on every fixed line $\sigma=\sigma_0>1$ generates a corresponding set of the values of $|\zeta(\frac 12+it)|^2$ on the critical line $\sigma=\frac 12$ (i.e. we have…

Let $\mathbf{K}$ be a field and $\phi$, $\mathbf{f} = (f_1, \ldots, f_s)$ in $\mathbf{K}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ be multivariate polynomials (with $s < n$) invariant under the action of $\mathcal{S}_n$, the group of permutations of $\{1, \dots,…

We classify all post-critically finite unicritical polynomials defined over the maximal totally real algebraic extension of ${\mathbb Q}$. Two auxiliary results used in the proof of this result may be of some independent interest. The first…

It is commonly believed that the normalized gaps between consecutive ordinates $t_n$ of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line can be arbitrarily large. In particular, drawing on analogies with random matrix theory, it…

A theoretical development is carried to establish fundamental results about rank-initial embeddings and automorphisms of countable non-standard models of set theory, with a keen eye for their sets of fixed points. These results are then…

We study limit models in the abstract elementary class of modules with embeddings as algebraic objects. We characterize parametrized noetherian rings using the degree of injectivity of certain limit models. We show that the number of limit…

The study of entrywise powers of matrices was originated by Loewner in the pursuit of the Bieberbach conjecture. Since the work of FitzGerald and Horn (1977), it is known that $A^{\circ \alpha} := (a_{ij}^\alpha)$ is positive semidefinite…

In this paper, the class of all linearly ordered topological spaces (LOTS) quasi-ordered by the embeddability relation is investigated. In ZFC it is proved that for countable LOTS this quasi-order has both a maximal (universal) element and…

The following pcf results are proved: 1. Assume that kappa > aleph_0 is a weakly compact cardinal. Let mu > 2^kappa be a singular cardinal of cofinality kappa. Then for every regular lambda < pp^+_{Gamma(kappa)} (mu) there is an increasing…
