Suppose L is a relational language and P in L is a unary predicate. If M is an L-structure then P(M) is the L-structure formed as the substructure of M with domain {a: M models P(a)}. Now suppose T is a complete first order theory in L with…

If $G$ is a group of permutations of a set $\Omega$ and $\alpha \in \Omega$, then the {\em $\alpha$-suborbits} of $G$ are the orbits of the stabilizer $G_\alpha$ on $\Omega$. The cardinality of an $\alpha$-suborbit is called a {\em…

We show that there is always a uniformly antisymmetric f:A-> {0,1} if A subset R is countable. We prove that the continuum hypothesis is equivalent to the statement that there is an f:R-> omega with |S_x| <= 1 for every x in R. If the…

The bilateral shift operator $B$ has been the mainstay of stationary process modeling whereas we argue that the unilateral shift operator $T$ may be better suited to analyze invertibility. While doing so, we partially unify the notion of…

In the general setting of a locally compact Abelian group $G$, the Delsarte extremal problem asks for the supremum of integrals over the collection of continuous positive definite functions $f: G \to \mathbb{R}$ satisfying $f(0) = 1$ and…

Using Koszmider's strongly unbounded functions, we show the following consistency result: Suppose that $\kappa,\lambda$ are infinite cardinals such that $\kappa^{+++} \leq \lambda$, $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$ and $2^{\kappa}= \kappa^+$, and…

The point of departure for the present work is Barry Mitchell's 1972 theorem that the cohomological dimension of $\aleph_n$ is $n+1$. We record a new proof and mild strengthening of this theorem; our more fundamental aim, though, is some…

A group G acts infinitely transitively on a set Y if for every positive integer m, its action is m-transitive on Y. Given a real affine algebraic variety Y of dimension greater than or equal to two, we show that, under a mild restriction,…

We consider $f, h$ homeomorphims generating a faithful $BS(1,n)$-action on a closed surface $S$, that is, $h f h^{-1} = f^n$, for some $ n\geq 2$. According to \cite{GL}, after replacing $f$ by a suitable iterate if necessary, we can assume…

We prove that if a continuous function $f : X \to f(X)$ takes open sets into elements of the Boolean algebra generated by open and closed subsets in $f(X)$, then there exist $X_n \subset X,$ $(n \in \omega)$ such that $f$ is open on every…

We show that for every "locally finite" unit-preserving completely positive map P acting on a C*-algebra, there is a corresponding *-automorphism \alpha of another unital C*-algebra such that the two sequences P, P^2,P^3,... and \alpha,…

We obtaine the full characterization of proper closed invariant subspaces of a generalized backward shift operator (Pommiez operator) in the Frechet space of all holomorphic functions on a simply connected domain $\Omega$ of the complex…

Let $\Gamma =(V,E)$ be a reflexive relation having a transitive group of automorphisms and let $v\in V.$ Let $F$ be a subset of $V$ with $F\cap \Gamma ^-(v)=\{v\}$. (i) If $F$ is finite, then $| \Gamma (F)\setminus F|\ge |\Gamma (v)|-1.$…

A functional Menger $\cap$-algebra is a set of n-place functions containing n projections and closed under the so-called Menger's compositions of n-place functions and the set-theoretic intersection of functions. We give the abstract…

We show that the sum over planar trees formula of Kontsevich and Soibelman transfers C-infinity structures along a contraction. Applying this result to a cosimplicial commutative algebra A^* over a field of characteristic zero, we exhibit a…

We generalise Jensen's result on the incompatibility of subcompactness with square. We show that alpha^+-subcompactness of some cardinal less than or equal to alpha precludes square_alpha, but also that square may be forced to hold…

This paper contributes to a theory of the behaviour of "finite-state" systems that is generic in the system type. We propose that such systems are modeled as coalgebras with a finitely generated carrier for an endofunctor on a locally…

A host algebra generalises the concept of a group algebra as follows. Let F be a unital C*-algebra, and let S_0 be a proper subset of its states within which one wants to keep the analysis (e.g. F is the group algebra of a discrete group G,…

The purpose of this note is to prove a version of the Trace Theorem for domains which are locally subgraph of a H\" older continuous function. More precisely, let $\eta\in C^{0,\alpha}(\omega)$, $0<\alpha<1$ and let $\Omega_{\eta}$ be a…

It is shown that the fixed point subalgebra of an EALA under a finite order automorphism (satisfying certain properties) is a sum of EALA's, an abelian subalgebra, and a subspace which is contained in the centralizer of the core.
