We show, in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without the Axiom of Choice, that the existence of a discontinuous homomorphism of the additive group of real numbers induces a selector for the Vitali equivalence relation $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Q}$.…
We show that it is consistent relative to ZF, that there is no well-ordering of $\mathbb{R}$ while a wide class of special sets of reals such as Hamel bases, transcendence bases, Vitali sets or Bernstein sets exists. To be more precise, we…
A set A is square-difference free (henceforth SDF) if there do not exist x,y\in A, x\ne y, such that |x-y| is a square. Let sdf(n) be the size of the largest SDF subset of {1,...,n}. Ruzsa has shown that sdf(n) = \Omega(n^{0.5(1+ \log_{65}…
In this paper we provide two results. The first one consists an infinitary version of the Furstenberg-Weiss Theorem. More precisely we show that every subset $A$ of a homogeneous tree $T$ such that $\frac{|A\cap T(n)|}{|T(n)|}\geq\delta$,…
We show the consistency of the set of regular cardinals which are the character of some ultrafilter on omega is not convex. We also deal with the set of pi chi-characters of ultrafilters on omega.
Which finite sets $P \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^r$ with $|P| \ge 3$ have the following property: for every $A \subseteq [N]^r$, there is some nonzero integer $d$ such that $A$ contains $(\alpha^{|P|} - o(1))N^r$ translates of $d \cdot P = \{d p :…
We prove the consistency of ZF+DC+"there are no mad families"+"there exists a non-meager filter on $\omega$" relative to ZFC, answering a question of Neeman and Norwood. We also introduce a weaker version of madness, and we strengthen the…
Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space, $f:X \mapsto X$ be a continuous map satisfying a property we call almost specification (which is slightly weaker than the $g$-almost product property of Pfister and Sullivan), and $\phi$ be a…
V. Nestoridis conjectured that if $\Omega$ is a simply connected subset of $\mathbb{C}$ that does not contain $0$ and $S(\Omega)$ is the set of all functions $f\in \mathcal{H}(\Omega)$ with the property that the set…
In this note we prove several theorems that are related to some results and problems from [6]. We answer two of the main problems that were raised in [6]. First we give a ZFC example of a Hausdorff space in $C(\omega_1)$ that has…
Let (X,d) be a metric space and (\Omega, d) a compact subspace of X which supports a non-atomic finite measure m. We consider `natural' classes of badly approximable subsets of \Omega. Loosely speaking, these consist of points in \Omega…
We show that the theory ZFC-, consisting of the usual axioms of ZFC but with the power set axiom removed-specifically axiomatized by extensionality, foundation, pairing, union, infinity, separation, replacement and the assertion that every…
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…
An important theorem by Timofte states that nonnegativity of real $n$-variate symmetric polynomials of degree $d$ can be decided at test sets given by all points with at most $\lfloor\frac{d}{2}\rfloor$ distinct components. However, if the…
It is a longstanding conjecture that given a subset $E$ of a metric space, if $E$ has finite Hausdorff measure in dimension $\alpha\ge 0$ and $\mathscr{H}^\alpha\llcorner E$ has unit density almost everywhere, then $E$ is an…
A function is boundedly finite-to-one if there is a natural number $k$ such that each point has at most $k$ inverse images. In this paper, we prove in $\mathsf{ZF}$ (i.e., the Zermelo--Fraenkel set theory without the axiom of choice)…
A set A of natural numbers is finitely embeddable in another such set B if every finite subset of A has a rightward translate that is a subset of B. This notion of finite embeddability arose in combinatorial number theory, but in this paper…
Our theme is that not every interesting question in set theory is independent of $ZFC$. We give an example of a first order theory $T$ with countable $D(T)$ which cannot have a universal model at $\aleph_1$ without CH; we prove in $ZFC$ a…
We study the localization along a filter of several dynamical notions. This generalizes and extends similar localizations that have been considered in the literature, e.g. near 0 and near an idempotent. Definitions and basic properties of…
We point out one of the differences between rapid ultrafilters and Q-points: Rapid ultrafilters may have empty intersection with van der Waerden ideal, whereas every Q-point has a non-empty intersection with van der Waerden ideal. Assuming…
