A subset X of a group G is called thin if, for every finite subset F of G, there exists a finite subset H of G such that Fx∩Fy=∅, xF∩yF=∅ for all distinct x,y∈X\H. We prove that every countable topologizable group G can be factorized G=AB into thin subsets A,B.

Given a non-empty finite subset A of the natural numbers, let EA denote the set of irrationals x∈[0,1] whose continued fraction digits lie in A. In general, EA is a Cantor set whose Hausdorff dimension dim (EA) is between 0 and 1. It is shown that the set [Formula: see text] intersects [0,1/2] densely. We then describe a method for accurately computing dimensions dim (EA), and employ it to investigate numerically the way in which [Formula: see text] intersects [1/2,1]. These computations tend to support the conjecture, first formulated independently by Hensley, and by Mauldin & Urbański, that [Formula: see text] is dense in [0,1]. In the important special case A={1,2}, we use our computational method to give an accurate approximation of dim (E{1,2}), improving on the one given in [18].

A relational structure is called weakly atomic-compact if and only if every set Σ of atomic formulas (taken from the first-order language of the similarity type of augmented by a possibly uncountable set of additional variables as “unknowns”) is satisfiable in whenever every finite subset of Σ is so satisfiable. This notion (as well as some related ones which will be mentioned in §4) was introduced by J. Mycielski as a generalization to model theory of I. Kaplansky's notion of an algebraically compact Abelian group (cf. [5], [7], [1], [8]).

AbstractDiversities are a generalization of metric spaces which associate a positive real number to every finite subset of the space. In this paper, we introduce ultradiversities which are themselves simultaneously diversities and a sort of generalization of ultrametric spaces. We also give the notion of spherical completeness for ultradiversities based on the balls defined in such spaces. In particular, with the help of nonexpansive mappings defined between ultradiversities, we show that an ultradiversity is spherically complete if and only if it is injective.

AbstractKruskal's theorem for obtaining a minimal (maximal) spanning tree of a graph is shown to be a special case of a more general theorem for matroid spaces in which each element of the matroid has an associated weight. Since any finite subset of a vector space can be regarded as a matroid space this theorem gives an easy method of selecting a linearly independent set of vectors of minimal (maximal) weight.

AbstractLet A be a separable amenable purely infinite simple C*-algebra which satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem. We prove that A is weakly semiprojective if and only if Ki(A) is a countable direct sum of finitely generated groups (i = 0, 1). Therefore, if A is such a C*-algebra, for any ε > 0 and any finite subset ℱ ⊂ A there exist δ > 0 and a finite subset ⊂ A satisfying the following: for any contractive positive linear map L : A → B (for any C*-algebra B) with ∥L(ab) – L(a)L(b)∥ < δ for a, b ∈ there exists a homomorphism h: A → B such that ∥h(a) – L(a)∥ < ε for a ∈ ℱ.

A transversal for a set-system is a one-to-one choice function. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a transversal in the case of finite sets was given by P. Hall (see [4, 3]). The corresponding condition for the case when countably many countable sets are given was conjectured by Nash-Williams and later proved by Damerell and Milner [2]. B. Bollobás and N. Varopoulos stated and proved the following measure theoretic counterpart of Hall's theorem: if (X, μ) is an atomless measure space, ℋ = {Hi: i∈I} is a family of measurable sets with finite measure, λi (i∈I) are non-negative real numbers, then we can choose a subset Ti ⊆ Hi with μ(Ti) = λi and μ(Ti ∩ Ti′) = 0 (i ≠ i′) if and only if μ({U Hi: iεJ}) ≥ Σ{λi: iεJ}: for every finite subset J of I. In this note we generalize this result giving a necessary and sufficient condition for the case when I is countable and X is the union of countably many sets of finite measure.

Abstract We study and classify proper q-colourings of the ℤ d lattice, identifying three regimes where different combinatorial behaviour holds. (1) When $q\le d+1$ , there exist frozen colourings, that is, proper q-colourings of ℤ d which cannot be modified on any finite subset. (2) We prove a strong list-colouring property which implies that, when $q\ge d+2$ , any proper q-colouring of the boundary of a box of side length $n \ge d+2$ can be extended to a proper q-colouring of the entire box. (3) When $q\geq 2d+1$ , the latter holds for any $n \ge 1$ . Consequently, we classify the space of proper q-colourings of the ℤ d lattice by their mixing properties.

AbstractThe Delaunay tessellation of a locally finite subset of the hyperbolic space ℍnis constructed via convex hulls in ℝn+1. For finite and lattice-invariant sets it is proven to be a polyhedral decomposition, and versions (necessarily modified from the Euclidean setting) of the empty circumspheres condition and geometric duality with the Voronoi tessellation are proved. Some pathological examples of infinite, non lattice-invariant sets are exhibited.
