Partitions of large Rado graphs

Let κ be a cardinal which is measurable after generically adding many Cohen subsets to κ and let be the κ-Rado graph. We prove, for 2 ≤ m < ω, that there is a finite value such that the set [κ] ^m can be partitioned into classes such that for any coloring of any of the classes C _i in fewer than κ colors, there is a copy of in such that is monochromatic. It follows that , that is, for any coloring of with fewer than κ colors there is a copy of such that has at most colors. On the other hand, we show that there are colorings of such that if is any copy of then for all , and hence . We characterize as the cardinality of a certain finite set of types and obtain an upper and a lower bound on its value. In particular, and for m > 2 we have where r _m is the corresponding number of types for the countable Rado graph. Research of M. Džamonja and J. A.

Chains and antichains in partial orderings

We study the complexity of infinite chains and antichains in computable partial orderings. We show that there is a computable partial ordering which has an infinite chain but none that is or , and also obtain the analogous result for antichains. On the other hand, we show that every computable partial ordering which has an infinite chain must have an infinite chain that is the difference of two sets. Our main result is that there is a computably axiomatizable theory K of partial orderings such that K has a computable model with arbitrarily long finite chains but no computable model with an infinite chain. We also prove the corresponding result for antichains. Finally, we prove that if a computable partial ordering has the feature that for every , there is an infinite chain or antichain that is relative to , then we have uniform dichotomy: either for all copies of , there is an infinite chain that is relative to , or for all copies of , there is an infinite antichain that is relative to .     

Amenability,tubularity, and embeddings into $$\mathcal{R}^{\omega}$$

Suppose M is a tracial von Neumann algebra embeddable into (the ultraproduct of the hyperfinite II₁-factor) and X is an n-tuple of selfadjoint generators for M. Denote by Γ(X; m, k, γ) the microstate space of X of order (m, k ,γ). We say that X is tubular if for any ε >  0 there exist and γ > 0 such that if then there exists a k × k unitary u satisfying for each 1 ≤  i ≤  n. We show that the following conditions are equivalent:

Fibred multilinks and singularities $${f \overline g}$$

In this article we extend Milnor’s fibration theorem to the case of functions of the form with f, g holomorphic, defined on a complex analytic (possibly singular) germ (X, 0). We further refine this fibration theorem by looking not only at the link of , but also at its multi-link structure, which is more subtle. We mostly focus on the case when X has complex dimension two. Our main result (Theorem 4.4) gives in this case the equivalence of the following three statements:

Dirac’s Type Sufficient Conditions for Hamiltonicity and Pancyclicity

A Characterization of Some Classes of Harmonic Functions

In this paper we investigate harmonic Hardy-Orlicz and Bergman-Orlicz b _φ,α (B) spaces, using an identity of Hardy-Stein type. We also extend the notion of the Lusin property by introducing (φ, α)-Lusin property with respect to a Stoltz domain. The main result in the paper is as follows: Let be a nonnegative increasing convex function twice differentiable on (0, ∞), and u a harmonic function on the unit ball B in . Then the following statements are equivalent:

Pointwise convergence for semigroups in vector-valued <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> spaces

Suppose that {T _t  : t  ≥  0} is a symmetric diffusion semigroup on L ²(X) and denote by its tensor product extension to the Bochner space , where belongs to a certain broad class of UMD spaces. We prove a vector-valued version of the Hopf–Dunford–Schwartz ergodic theorem and show that this extends to a maximal theorem for analytic continuations of on . As an application, we show that such continuations exhibit pointwise convergence.

Geometric second derivative estimates in Carnot groups and convexity

We prove some new a priori estimates for H ₂-convex functions which are zero on the boundary of a bounded smooth domain Ω in a Carnot group . Such estimates are global and are geometric in nature as they involve the horizontal mean curvature of ∂Ω. As a consequence of our bounds we show that if has step two, then for any smooth H ₂-convex function in vanishing on ∂Ω one has

Three-dimensional sets with small sumset

We describe the structure of three dimensional sets of lattice points, having a small doubling property. Let be a finite subset of ℤ³ such that dim = 3. If and , then lies on three parallel lines. Moreover, for every three dimensional finite set that lies on three parallel lines, if , then is contained in three arithmetic progressions with the same common difference, having together no more than terms. These best possible results confirm a recent conjecture of Freiman and cannot be sharpened by reducing the quantity υ or by increasing the upper bounds for .

Operator Space Embedding of Schatten p-Classes Into Von Neumann Algebra Preduals

Let X₁ and X₂ be subspaces of quotients of R OH and C OH respectively. We use new free probability techniques to construct a completely isomorphic embedding of the Haagerup tensor product into the predual of a sufficiently large QWEP von Neumann algebra. As an immediate application, given any 1 < q ≤ 2, our result produces a completely isomorphic embedding of (equipped with its natural operator space structure) into with a QWEP von Neumann algebra.

Mean-value theorems and extensions of the Elliott-Daboussi theorem on additive arithmetic semigroups

We present more general forms of the mean-value theorems established before for multiplicative functions on additive arithmetic semigroups and prove, on the basis of these new theorems, extensions of the Elliott-Daboussi theorem. Let be an additive arithmetic semigroup with a generating set ℘ of primes p. Assume that the number G(m) of elements a in with “degree” ∂(a)=m satisfies
