We investigate the provability of classical combinatorial theorems in ZF. Using combinatorial arguments, we establish the following results for each infinite cardinal ${\kappa}\in On$, (1) ${\kappa}^+\to ({\kappa},{\omega}+1)$, (2) any…

Let K be an infinite field such that its characteristic is not 2. We show that, for every $A\in\mathcal{M}_n(K)$ such that $\mathrm{rank}(A)\geq n/2$, there exists $B\in\mathcal{M}_n(K)$ such that $B$ is similar to $A$ and $A+B$ is…

By Easton's theorem one can force the exponential function on regular cardinals to take rather arbitrary cardinal values provided monotonicity and Koenig's lemma are respected. In models without choice we employ a "surjective" version of…

We consider the following property: (*) For every function f from R^2 to R there are functions g_n,h_n from R to R (for n<omega) such that for all real numbers x and y, f(x,y) = sum_{n<omega} g_n(x)h_n(y). We show that, despite some…

We analyze the notion of guessing model, a way to assign combinatorial properties to arbitrary regular cardinals. Guessing models can be used, in combination with inaccessibility, to characterize various large cardinals axioms, ranging from…

A bijection $(l,r)$ between $M^2$ and $M$ is said to be a pairing function with no cycles, if any composition of its coordinate functions has no fixed point. We compute here the Grothendieck ring of the pairing function without cycles to be…

In \cite{MV} we defined and proved the consistency of the principle ${\rm GM}^+(\omega_3,\omega_1)$ which implies that many consequences of strong forcing axioms hold simultaneously at $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$. In this paper we formulate a…

Let $m,n$ be positive integers. In this short note we prove that the set of all continuous and surjective functions from $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ to $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ contains (excluding the 0 function) a $\mathfrak{c}$-dimensional vector space.…

Recently, in Axioms 10(2): 119 (2021), a nonclassical first-order theory T of sets and functions has been introduced as the collection of axioms we have to accept if we want a foundational theory for (all of) mathematics that is not weaker…

We prove from the existence of a Mahlo cardinal the consistency of the statement that $2^\omega = \omega_3$ holds and every stationary subset of $\omega_2 \cap \mathrm{cof}(\omega)$ reflects to an ordinal less than $\omega_2$ with…

We show that the statement "every universally Baire set of reals has the perfect set property" is equiconsistent modulo ZFC with the existence of a cardinal that we call a virtually Shelah cardinal. These cardinals resemble Shelah cardinals…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Let $K/k$ be a Galois extension of number fields with Galois group isomorphic to $G$, and let $C \subseteq \mathrm{Gal}(K/k) \simeq G$ be a conjugacy invariant subset. It is well known that there exists an…

Recently, using machinery's from Ergodic theory, Z. Lian, and R. Xiao proved if $P$ is any polynomial with no constant term, then for every finite coloring of $\mathbb{N}$, there exists two infinite subsets $B,C$ of $\mathbb{N}$ such that…

We study one class of continuous functions $f$ defined on segment $[0,1]$ by equality $$ f(x)=\delta_{\alpha_1(x)1}+\sum^{\infty}_{k=2}\left[\delta_{\alpha_k(x)k}\prod^{k-1}_{j=1}g_{\alpha_j…

In this paper we study the regularity of the non-centered fractional maximal operator $M_{\beta}$. As the main result, we prove that there exists $C(n,\beta)$ such that if $q=n/(n-\beta)$ and $f$ is a radial function, then…

We discuss the relationship between perfect sets of random reals, dominating reals, and the product of two copies of the random algebra B. Recall that B is the algebra of Borel sets of 2^omega modulo the null sets. Also given two models M…

Let $D$ be a proper domain in the extended complex plane ${\mathbb C}_{\infty}:={\mathbb C}\cup \{\infty\}$, $M=M_+-M_-\not\equiv \pm \infty$ be a difference of non-trivial subharmonic functions $M_{\pm}\not\equiv \mp \infty$ on $D$,…

Justin Moore's weak club-guessing principle $\mho$ admits various possible generalizations to the second uncountable cardinal. One of them was shown to hold in ZFC by Shelah. A stronger one was shown to follow from several consequences of…

We prove in ZFC the existence of a definable, countably saturated elementary extension of the reals. It seems that it has been taken for granted that there is no distinguished, definable nonstandard model of the reals. (This means a…

We show that the $k$-nearest neighbour learning rule is universally consistent in a metric space $X$ if and only if it is universally consistent in every separable subspace of $X$ and the density of $X$ is less than every real-measurable…
