We demonstrate that theories $\text{Z}^-$, $\text{ZF}^-$, $\text{ZFC}^-$ (minus means the absence of the Power Set axiom) and $\text{PA}_2$, $\text{PA}_2^-$ (minus means the absence of the Countable Choice schema) are equiconsistent to each…
We discuss an incompleteness result proven by Bezboruah and Shepherdson. This result tells us that the weak theory ${\sf PA}^-$ does not prove the consistency of any theory (under certain assumptions explained in the paper). Kreisel argued…
We prove that the form of conditional independence at play in database theory and independence logic is reducible to the first-order dividing calculus in the theory of atomless Boolean algebras. This establishes interesting connections…
Miller's 1937 splitting theorem was proved for pairs of cardinals $(\n,\rho)$ in which $n$ is finite and $\rho$ is infinite. An extension of Miller's theorem is proved here in ZFC for pairs of cardinals $(\nu,\rho)$ in which $\nu$ is…
In 1994 Jech gave a model theoretic proof of G\"odel's second incompleteness theorem for Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory in the following form: ZF does not prove that ZF has a model. Kotlarski showed that Jech's proof can be adapted to Peano…
As part of the proof of the Bethe ansatz conjecture for the Gaudin model for $\mathfrak{gl}_n$, Mukhin, Tarasov, and Varchenko described a correspondence between inverse Wronskians of polynomials and eigenspaces of the Gaudin Hamiltonians.…
We adapt the properties of Kim-independence in NSOP1 theories with existence proven in [5],[4] and [2] by Ramsey, Kaplan, Chernikov, Dobrowolski and Kim to hyperimaginaries by adding the assumption of existence for hyperimaginaries. We show…
This article presents a clear proof of the Riemann Mapping Theorem via Riemann's method, uncompromised by any appeals to topological intuition.
We extend Kolchin's results on linear dependence over projective varieties in the constants, to linear dependence over arbitrary complete differential varieties. We show that in this more general setting, the notion of linear dependence…
We give a new proof of Zariski's multiplicity conjecture in the case of isolated hypersurface singularities; this was first proved by de Bobadilla-Pe\l ka \cite{BobadillaPelka}. Our proof uses the TQFT structure of fixed-point Floer…
In this paper, we established a sharp version of the difference analogue of the celebrated H\"{o}lder's theorem concerning the differential independence of the Euler gamma function $\Gamma$. More precisely, if $P$ is a polynomial of $n+1$…
We prove a Chomsky-Sch\"utzenberger representation theorem for multiple context-free languages weighted over complete commutative strong bimonoids.
We introduce finite support iterations of symmetric systems, and use them to provide a strongly modernized proof of David Pincus' classical result that the axiom of dependent choice is independent over ZF with the ordering principle…
Frucht's theorem is the statement that "every group is the automorphism group of a graph". This was shown over ZFC independently by Sabidussi and deGroot, by induction using a well ordered generating set for the group. Sabidussi's proof is…
We prove the B. and M. Shapiro conjecture that says that if the Wronskian of a set of polynomials has real roots only, then the complex span of this set of polynomials has a basis consisting of polynomials with real coefficients. This in…
Much mathematical writing exists that is, explicitly or implicitly, based on set theory, often Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory (ZF) or one of its variants. In ZF, the domain of discourse contains only sets, and hence every mathematical object…
We show that Vopenka's Principle and Vopenka cardinals are indestructible under reverse Easton forcing iterations of increasingly directed-closed partial orders, without the need for any preparatory forcing. As a consequence, we are able to…
We note that the Fubini theorem may be used to prove that an $L^1$ function is determined by its Fourier coefficients.
We prove a refinement of Quillen's Theorem A, providing necessary and sufficient conditions for a functor to be cofinal with respect to diagrams valued in a fixed $\infty$-category. We deduce this from a general duality phenomenon for…
The theorem by Gell-Mann and Low is a cornerstone in QFT and zero-temperature many-body theory. The standard proof is based on Dyson's time-ordered expansion of the propagator; a proof based on exact identities for the time-propagator is…
