We show in ZFC that the existence of completely separable maximal almost disjoint families of subsets of $\omega$ implies that the modal logic S4.1.2 is complete with respect to the \v{C}ech-Stone compactification of the natural numbers,…

A set $A$ is dually Dedekind finite if every surjection from $A$ onto $A$ is injective; otherwise, $A$ is dually Dedekind infinite. An amorphous set is an infinite set that cannot be partitioned into two infinite subsets. A strictly…

We introduce the notion of an arithmetical type of combinatorial family of reals, which serves to generalize different types of families such as mad families, maximal cofinitary groups, ultrafilter bases, splitting families and other…

We investigate the structure of the monoid of endomorphisms of the ordered set $(\mathbb{Q},{\leq})$ of rational numbers. We show that for any countable linearly ordered set $\Omega$, there are uncountably many maximal subgroups of…

A $k$-wise $\ell$-divisible set family is a collection $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of ${ \{1,\ldots,n \} }$ such that any intersection of $k$ sets in $\mathcal{F}$ has cardinality divisible by $\ell$. If $k=\ell=2$, it is well-known that…

We consider the definability of mad families in vector spaces of the form $\underset{n<\omega}{\bigoplus} F$ where $F$ is a field of cardinality $\leq \aleph_0$. We show that there is no analytic mad family of subspaces when…

Ever since the famous Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem initiated the study of intersecting families of subsets, extremal problems regarding intersecting properties of families of various combinatorial objects have been extensively investigated.…

Merging together a result of Nathanson from the early 70s and a recent result of Granville and Walker, we show that for any finite set $A$ of integers with $\min(A)=0$ and $\gcd(A)=1$ there exist two sets, the "head" and the "tail", such…

Let $\mathcal X$ be an infinite locally compact separable metric space with metric $\rho$ and let $f : \mathcal X \longrightarrow \mathcal X$ be a continuous weakly mixing map. Let $\beta = \sup \big\{ \rho(x, y): \{x, y \} \subset \mathcal…

Let $\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_m$ be two or more positive reals with sum $1$, let $C\subseteq \mathbb{R}^k$ be an open convex set, and $f: C\to \mathbb{R}^k$ be a continuous injection with convex image. For each nonempty set $S\subseteq C$,…

The problem of bounding the size of a set system under various intersection restrictions has a central place in extremal combinatorics. We investigate the maximum number of disjoint pairs a set system can have in this setting. In…

For a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of a finite set, define $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{F})=\{F\setminus F': F, F'\in\mathcal{F}\}$. A family $\mathcal{F}$ is called intersecting if $F\cap F'\not=\emptyset$ for all $F, F'\in\mathcal{F}$. Frankl…

Let $\ee>0$ and $\fff$ be a family of finite subsets of the Cantor set $\ccc$. Following D. H. Fremlin, we say that $\fff$ is $\ee$-filling over $\ccc$ if $\fff$ is hereditary and for every $F\subseteq\ccc$ finite there exists $G\subseteq…

We show that all maximal almost disjoint families have pseudocompact Vietoris hyperspace if and only if $\mathsf{MA}_\mathfrak c (\mathcal P(\omega)/\mathrm{fin})$ holds. We further study the question whether there is a maximal almost…

An infinite family of exactly-solvable and integrable potentials on a plane is introduced. It is shown that all already known rational potentials with the above properties allowing separation of variables in polar coordinates are particular…

A family $\mathcal{F}\subset \binom{[n]}{k}$ is called an intersecting family if $F\cap F'\neq \emptyset$ for all $F,F'\in \mathcal{F}$. If $\cap \mathcal{F}\neq \emptyset$ then $\mathcal{F}$ is called a star. The diversity of an…

Let $d$ be a positive integer. A finite group is called $d$-maximal if it can be generated by precisely $d$ elements, while its proper subgroups have smaller generating sets. For $d\in\{1,2\}$, the $d$-maximal groups have been classified up…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ be two $t$-uniform families of subsets over $[k] = \{1,2,...,k\}$, where $|\mathcal{F}| = |\mathcal{G}|$, and let $C$ be the adjacency matrix of the bipartite graph whose vertices are the subsets in…

We continue the project of the study of reverse mathematics principles inspired by cardinal invariants. In this article in particular we focus on principles encapsulating the existence of large families of objects that are in some sense…

A family $\mathcal{F}$ on ground set $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ is maximal $k$-wise intersecting if every collection of at most $k$ sets in $\mathcal{F}$ has non-empty intersection, and no other set can be added to $\mathcal{F}$ while…
