The following is an introduction to the study of higher walks, by which we mean a family of higher-dimensional extensions of Todorcevic's method of walks on the ordinals. After a brief review of this method, including, for example,…

In this paper, the first in a projected two-part series, we describe an organizing framework for the study of infinitary combinatorics. This framework is \v{C}ech cohomology. We show in particular that the \v{C}ech cohomology groups of the…

It is proved that if there is an $\aleph_2$-Aronszajn line, then there is one that does not contain an $\aleph_2$-Countryman line. This solves a problem of Moore and stands in a sharp contrast with his Basis Theorem for linear orders of…

We continue the development of the theory of higher dimensional walks on ordinals began recently by Bergfalk. In particular we identify natural coherence conditions on higher dimensional $C$-sequences that entail coherence of the resultant…

Random walks on a graph reflect many of its topological and spectral properties, such as connectedness, bipartiteness and spectral gap magnitude. In the first part of this paper we define a stochastic process on simplicial complexes of…

Much information about a graph can be obtained by studying its spanning trees. On the other hand, a graph can be regarded as a 1-dimensional cell complex, raising the question of developing a theory of trees in higher dimension. As observed…

Any model of ZFC + GCH has a generic extension (made with a poset of size aleph_2) in which the following hold: MA + 2^{aleph_0}= aleph_2+ there exists a Delta^2_1-well ordering of the reals. The proof consists in iterating posets designed…

It is known that the combinatorial classes in the cohomology of the mapping class group of punctures surfaces defined by Witten and Kontsevich are polynomials in the adjusted Miller-Morita-Mumford classes. The leading coefficient was…

We prove an extension of the Moore-Schmidt theorem on the triviality of the first cohomology class of cocycles for the action of an arbitrary discrete group on an arbitrary measure space and for cocycles with values in an arbitrary compact…

We consider (random) walks in a multidimensional orthant. Using the idea of universality in probability theory, one can associate a unique polyhedral domain to any given walk model. We use this connection to prove two sets of new results.…

Define the special tree number, denoted $\mathfrak{st}$, to be the least size of a tree of height $\omega_1$ which is neither special nor has a cofinal branch. This cardinal had previously been studied in the context of fragments of…

We give a combinatorial description (including explicit differential-form bases) for the cohomology groups of the space of n distinct nonzero complex numbers, with coefficients in rank-one local systems which are of finite monodromy around…

We develop a theory of higher order structures in compact abelian groups. In the frame of this theory we prove general inverse theorems and regularity lemmas for Gowers's uniformity norms. We put forward an algebraic interpretation of the…

Let $\omega(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of a natural number $n$. In 1940, Erd\H{o}s and Kac established that $\omega(n)$ obeys the Gaussian distribution over natural numbers, and in 2004, the third author generalized…

This paper studies Moore's measurable cohomology theory for locally compact groups and Polish modules. An elementary dimension-shifting argument is used to show that all classes in that theory have representatives with considerable extra…

This the first of a series of articles dealing with abstract classification theory. The apparatus to assign systems of cardinal invariants to models of a first order theory (or determine its impossibility) is developed in [Sh:a]. It is…

We set up the conventional conformal bootstrap equations in Mellin space and analyse the anomalous dimensions and OPE coefficients of large spin double trace operators. By decomposing the equations in terms of continuous Hahn polynomials,…

We give a new simple proof of the decidability of the First Order Theory of (omega^omega^i,+) and the Monadic Second Order Theory of (omega^i,<), improving the complexity in both cases. Our algorithm is based on tree automata and a new…

We deal with a conjectured dichotomy for compact Hausdorff spaces: each such space contains a non-trivial converging omega-sequence or a non-trivial converging omega_1-sequence. We establish that this dichotomy holds in a variety of models;…

Following Laczkovich we consider the partially ordered set $\iB_1(\RR)$ of Baire class 1 functions endowed with the pointwise order, and investigate the order types of the linearly ordered subsets. Answering a question of Komj\'ath and…
