For a sequence $S$ over a finite abelian group, let $MZ(S)$ denote the length of the shortest nonempty zero-sum subsequence of $S$. We prove that if $G$ is finite abelian of order $n$ and $S$ has length $n$, then $MZ(S)\le n-|\supp(S)|+1$.…

Richter, Stephan, and Zhang asked whether every nonrecursive many-one degree contains a least finite-one degree. We solve this question in the negative, already within the class of computably enumerable many-one degrees. Positive answers…

Many recent developments in causal inference, and functional estimation problems more generally, have been motivated by the fact that classical one-step (first-order) debiasing methods, or their more recent sample-split double…

The notion of a shift-compact set in an abelian topological group $X$ plays a significant role in functional equations and inequalities, especially so since each Borel set that is not Haar-meagre, alternatively not Haar-null, is necessarily…

We present several enumeration results holding in sets of words called neutral and which satisfy restrictive conditions on the set of possible extensions of nonempty words. These formulae concern return words and bifix codes. They…

A subset of a topological space is constructible if it is a finite Boolean combination of closed sets. We prove that every NTP$_2$ expansion of $(\mathbb{R},<,+)$ by constructible sets defines only constructible sets, and that definable…

We establish the existence of weak solutions of coupled systems of elliptic partial differential equations with quasimonotone nonlinearities in the domain interior and on the boundary. When the nonlinearities satisfy some monotonicity…

This paper introduces a space of variable lotteries and proves a constructive version of the expected utility theorem. The word ``constructive'' is used here in two senses. First, as in constructive mathematics, the logic underlying proofs…

When a system commits to a hypothesis, much of the evidential structure behind that commitment is lost to compression. Standard accounts assume that selected content and scalar confidence suffice for downstream control. This paper argues…

We consider various collections of functions from the Baire space X into itself naturally arising in (effective) descriptive set theory and general topology, including computable (equivalently, recursive) functions, contraction mappings,…

Does a space enjoying good finiteness properties admit an algebraic model with commensurable finiteness properties? In this note, we provide a rational homotopy obstruction for this to happen. As an application, we show that the maximal…

We consider union-closed set systems with infinite breadth, focusing on three particular configurations ${\mathcal T}_{\rm max}(E)$, ${\mathcal T}_{\rm min}(E)$ and ${\mathcal T}_{\rm ort}(E)$. We show that these three configurations are…

Kripke's Schema (better the Brouwer-Kripke Schema) and the Kreisel-Troelstra Theory of the Creating Subject were introduced around the same time for the same purpose, that of analysing Brouwer's 'Creating Subject arguments'; other…

In this note, we describe first the structure of minimal non-Iwasawa finite groups. Then we determine the minimal non-Iwasawa finite groups which are modular. Also, we find connections between minimal non-Iwasawa finite groups and the…

Minimal sentence pairs are frequently used to analyze the behavior of language models. It is often assumed that model behavior on contrastive pairs is predictive of model behavior at large. We argue that two conditions are necessary for…

Answering a question of Junker and Ziegler, we construct a countable first order structure which is not omega-categorical, but does not have any proper non-trivial reducts, in either of two senses (model-theoretic, and group-theoretic). We…

The main observation of this paper is that some sequential weak compactness arguments in Hilbert space theory can be replaced by Heine/Borel compactness arguments (for the strong topology). Even though the latter form of compactness fails…

We analyze the topological structure of the Nehari set for a class of functionals depending on a real parameter $\lambda$, and having two degrees of homogeneity. A special attention is paid to the extremal parameter $\lambda^*$, which is…

It is well known that the R, the set of real numbers, is an abstract set, where almost all its elements cannot be described in any finite language. We investigate possible approaches to what might be called an epi-constructionist approach…

We survey the logical structure of constructive set theories and point towards directions for future research. Moreover, we analyse the consequences of being extensible for the logical structure of a given constructive set theory. We…
