The Matrix-Tree Theorem states that the number of spanning trees of a graph is given by the absolute value of any cofactor of the Laplacian matrix of the graph. We propose a very short proof of this result which amounts to comparing Taylor…
Two-dimensional version of the classical Mycielski theorem says that for every comeager or conull set $X\subseteq [0,1]^2$ there exists a perfect set $P\subseteq [0,1]$ such that $P\times P\subseteq X\cup \Delta$. We consider…
This paper shows that decision trees constructed with Classification and Regression Trees (CART) and C4.5 methodology are consistent for regression and classification tasks, even when the number of predictor variables grows…
Consider $(\kappa^{+++},\kappa^{++}) \twoheadrightarrow (\kappa^+,\kappa)$ where $\kappa$ is an uncountable regular cardinal. By a result of Shelah's we have $\operatorname{cof}(X \cap \kappa^{++}) = \kappa$ for almost all $X \subset…
Building on previous work of [BPS] we investigate $\sigma$-closed partial orders of size continuum. We provide both an internal and external characterization of such partial orders by showing that (1) every $\sigma$-closed partial order of…
We work in the Baire space $\mathbb{Z}^\omega$ equipped with the coordinate-wise addition $+$. Consider a $\sigma-$ideal $\mathcal{I}$ and a family $\mathbb{T}$ of some kind of perfect trees. We are interested in results of the form: for…
Glivenko's theorem states that a formula is derivable in classical propositional logic $\mathrm{CL}$ iff under the double negation it is derivable in intuitionistic propositional logic $\mathrm{IL}$: $\mathrm{CL}\vdash\varphi$ iff…
We show that the following two theories are equiconsistent: (T) ZFC, CH and "There is a dense ideal on the first uncountable cardinal such that if j is the generic embedding associated with it then its restriction on ordinals is independent…
The paper deals with two issues: the existence of universal models of a theory T and related properties when cardinal arithmetic does not give this existence offhand. In the first section we prove that simple theories (e.g., theories…
In $\mathsf{ZFC}$, if there is a measurable cardinal with infinitely many Woodin cardinals below it, then for every equivalence relation $E \in L(\mathbb{R})$ on $\mathbb{R}$ with all $\mathbf{\Delta}_1^1$ classes and every $\sigma$-ideal…
We study and classify topologically invariant $\sigma$-ideals with a Borel base on the Hilbert cube and evaluate their cardinal characteristics. One of the results of this paper solves (positively) a known problem whether the minimal…
We study when Taylor resolutions of monomial ideals are minimal. We consider monomial ideals with linear quotients. In particular, we determine precisely the stable ideals and the monomial ideals with linear resolutions having the miminal…
Let $\mathcal{N}$ be the $\sigma$-ideal of the null sets of reals. We introduce a new property of forcing notions that enable control of the additivity of $\mathcal{N}$ after finite support iterations. This is applied to answer some open…
In this article, we continue the studying of $\mathcal{H}_Y$-ideals. We introducing two notions fixed and free $\mathcal{H}_Y$-ideals as an extension of fixed and free z-ideals in C(X) and relative $\mathcal{H}_Y$-ideals as an extension of…
Using a countable support product of creature forcing posets, we show that consistently, for uncountably many different functions the associated Yorioka ideals' uniformity numbers can be pairwise different. In addition we show that, in the…
Forcing axioms are generalizations of Baire category principles that allow one to intersect more dense open sets and to do so in a wider variety of circumstances. In this paper we introduce two new forcing axioms related to posets which…
We prove a lemma, which we call the Order Ideal Lemma, that can be used to demonstrate a wide array of log-concavity and log-convexity results in a combinatorial manner using order ideals in distributive lattices. We use the Order Ideal…
We formalize an existing computability-theoretic method of presenting first-order structures whose domains have the cardinality of the continuum. Work using these methods until now has emphasized their topological properties. We shift the…
The so-called l0 pseudonorm, or cardinality function, counts the number of nonzero components of a vector. In this paper, we analyze the l0 pseudonorm by means of so-called Capra (constant along primal rays) conjugacies, for which the…
We prove that the strong polarized relation of $\theta$ above $\omega$ applied simultaneously for every cardinal in the interval $[\aleph_1,\aleph]$ is consistent. We conclude that this positive relation is consistent for every cardinal…
