Let K be the family of graphs on omega_1 without cliques or independent subsets of size omega_1 . We prove that: 1) it is consistent with CH that every G in K has 2^{omega_1} many pairwise non-isomorphic subgraphs, 2) the following…

The fact that in Minkowski space, space and time are both quantized does not have to be introduced as a new postulate in physics, but can actually be derived by combining certain features of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. This is…

We establish the existence of many holomorphic Hecke eigenforms $f$ of large weight $k$ for the full modular group, for which the least positive integer $n_f$ such that $\lambda_f(n_f)<0$ satisfies $n_f \ge (\log k)^{1-o(1)}.$ This is…

We use various results concerning isometry groups of Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian manifolds to prove that there are spaces on which differential structure can act as a source of gravitational force (Brans conjecture). The result is…

Flat cosmological models with a cosmological constant on the order of the Einstein-de Sitter critical density are enigmatic in the sense that there does not appear to be any natural explanation for why there should be a cosmological…

A charged space is a space equipped with two distinct base points. Such spaces arise as the unreduced suspension of an unbased space. More generally, one can work in the fiberwise setting over a fixed space B. A fiberwise charged space over…

In this manuscript we study properties of multidimensional shifts. More precisely, we study the necessary and sufficient conditions for a shift to be sofic, i.e. the boundary between sofic shifts and effective ones. To this end, we use…

For every large enough $n$, we explicitly construct a body of constant width $2$ that has volume less than $0.9^n \text{Vol}(\mathbb{B}^{n}$), where $\mathbb{B}^{n}$ is the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. This answers a question of…

A topological space $X$ is a $\Delta$-space (or $X \in \Delta$) if for any decreasing sequence $\{A_n : n < \omega\}$ of subsets of $X$ with empty intersection there is a (decreasing) sequence $\{U_n : n < \omega\}$ of open sets with empty…

A classic theorem of Euclidean geometry asserts that any noncollinear set of $n$ points in the plane determines at least $n$ distinct lines. Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured that this holds for an arbitrary finite metric space, with a certain…

Let $\omega$ be a radial weight on the unit disc of the complex plane $\mathbb{D}$ and denote $\omega_x =\int_0^1 s^x \omega(s)\,ds$, $x\ge 0$, for the moments of $\omega$ and $\widehat{\omega}(r)=\int_r^1 \omega(s)\,ds$ for the tail…

Let $\mathfrak{M}$ be a class of metric spaces. A metric space $Y$ is minimal $\mathfrak{M}$-universal if every $X\in\mathfrak{M}$ can be isometrically embedded in $Y$ but there are no proper subsets of $Y$ satisfying this property. We find…

We prove the existence of a ground state of the Maxwell--Schr\"odinger equations in one spatial dimension, describing a specified amount of free charge under the influence of a fixed charge. For one case (equal free and fixed charge, i.e.,…

We improve some results of Pavlov and of Filatova, respectively, concerning a problem of Malychin by showing that every regular space X that satisfies Delta(X)>ext(X) is omega-resolvable. Here Delta(X), the dispersion character of X, is the…

The weight two ordinary deformations are unobstructed in the cyclotomic limit under certain assumptions. We show that such an ordinary deformation ring over the cyclotomic tower can have arbitrarily large dimension.

Let $\Omega$ be an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$ with $N\geq 2.$ We identify various classes of Young functions $\Phi$ and $\Psi$, and function spaces for a weight function $g$ so that the following weighted Orlicz-Sobolev inequality holds:…

The path component space of a topological space $X$ is the quotient space $\pi_0(X)$ whose points are the path components of $X$. We show that every Tychonoff space $X$ is the path-component space of a Tychonoff space $Y$ of weight…

We introduce strong congruence spaces, which are topological spaces that provide a useful concept of dimension for monoid schemes. We study their properties and show that, given a toric monoid scheme over an algebraically closed basis, its…

All spaces are assumed to be separable and metrizable. Our main result is that the statement "For every space $X$, every closed subset of $X$ has the perfect set property if and only if every analytic subset of $X$ has the perfect set…

We show that all sufficiently nice $\lambda$-sets are countable dense homogeneous ($\mathsf{CDH}$). From this fact we conclude that for every uncountable cardinal $\kappa \le \mathfrak{b}$ there is a countable dense homogeneous metric space…
