Abstract This paper will study almost everywhere behaviors of functions on partition spaces of cardinals possessing suitable partition properties. Almost everywhere continuity and monotonicity properties for functions on partition spaces will be established. These results will be applied to distinguish the cardinality of certain subsets of the power set of partition cardinals. The following summarizes the main results proved under suitable partition hypotheses.•If$$\kappa $$is a cardinal,$$\epsilon < \kappa $$,$${\mathrm {cof}}(\epsilon ) = \omega $$,$$\kappa \rightarrow _* (\kappa )^{\epsilon \cdot \epsilon }_2$$and$$\Phi : [\kappa ]^\epsilon _* \rightarrow \mathrm {ON}$$, then$$\Phi $$satisfies the almost everywhere short length continuity property: There is a club$$C \subseteq \kappa $$and a$$\delta < \epsilon $$so that for all$$f,g \in [C]^\epsilon _*$$, if$$f \upharpoonright \delta = g \upharpoonright \delta $$and$$\sup (f) = \sup (g)$$, then$$\Phi (f) = \Phi (g)$$.•If$$\kappa $$is a cardinal,$$\epsilon $$is countable,$$\kappa \rightarrow _* (\kappa )^{\epsilon \cdot \epsilon }_2$$holds and$$\Phi : [\kappa ]^\epsilon _* \rightarrow \mathrm {ON}$$, then$$\Phi $$satisfies the strong almost everywhere short length continuity property: There is a club$$C \subseteq \kappa $$and finitely many ordinals$$\delta _0, ..., \delta _k \leq \epsilon $$so that for all$$f,g \in [C]^\epsilon _*$$, if for all$$0 \leq i \leq k$$,$$\sup (f \upharpoonright \delta _i) = \sup (g \upharpoonright \delta _i)$$, then$$\Phi (f) = \Phi (g)$$.•If$$\kappa $$satisfies$$\kappa \rightarrow _* (\kappa )^\kappa _2$$,$$\epsilon \leq \kappa $$and$$\Phi : [\kappa ]^\epsilon _* \rightarrow \mathrm {ON}$$, then$$\Phi $$satisfies the almost everywhere monotonicity property: There is a club$$C \subseteq \kappa $$so that for all$$f,g \in [C]^\epsilon _*$$, if for all$$\alpha < \epsilon $$,$$f(\alpha ) \leq g(\alpha )$$, then$$\Phi (f) \leq \Phi (g)$$.•Suppose dependent choice ($$\mathsf {DC}$$),$${\omega _1} \rightarrow _* ({\omega _1})^{\omega _1}_2$$and the almost everywhere short length club uniformization principle for$${\omega _1}$$hold. Then every function$$\Phi : [{\omega _1}]^{\omega _1}_* \rightarrow {\omega _1}$$satisfies a finite continuity property with respect to closure points: Let$$\mathfrak {C}_f$$be the club of$$\alpha < {\omega _1}$$so that$$\sup (f \upharpoonright \alpha ) = \alpha $$. There is a club$$C \subseteq {\omega _1}$$and finitely many functions$$\Upsilon _0, ..., \Upsilon _{n - 1} : [C]^{\omega _1}_* \rightarrow {\omega _1}$$so that for all$$f \in [C]^{\omega _1}_*$$, for all$$g \in [C]^{\omega _1}_*$$, if$$\mathfrak {C}_g = \mathfrak {C}_f$$and for all$$i < n$$,$$\sup (g \upharpoonright \Upsilon _i(f)) = \sup (f \upharpoonright \Upsilon _i(f))$$, then$$\Phi (g) = \Phi (f)$$.•Suppose$$\kappa $$satisfies$$\kappa \rightarrow _* (\kappa )^\epsilon _2$$for all$$\epsilon < \kappa $$. For all$$\chi < \kappa $$,$$[\kappa ]^{<\kappa }$$does not inject into$${}^\chi \mathrm {ON}$$, the class of$$\chi $$-length sequences of ordinals, and therefore,$$|[\kappa ]^\chi | < |[\kappa ]^{<\kappa }|$$. As a consequence, under the axiom of determinacy$$(\mathsf {AD})$$, these two cardinality results hold when$$\kappa $$is one of the following weak or strong partition cardinals of determinacy:$${\omega _1}$$,$$\omega _2$$,$$\boldsymbol {\delta }_n^1$$(for all$$1 \leq n < \omega $$) and$$\boldsymbol {\delta }^2_1$$(assuming in addition$$\mathsf {DC}_{\mathbb {R}}$$).

How big is a tiling’s return module?
Abstract The rank of a tiling’s return module depends on the geometry of its tiles and is not a topological invariant. However, the rank of the first Čech cohomology$$\check H^1(\Omega )$$gives upper and lower bounds for the rank of the return module. For all sufficiently large patches, the rank of the return module is at most the rank of$$\check H^1(\Omega )$$. For a generic choice of tile shapes and an arbitrary reference patch, the rank of the return module is at least the rank of$$\check H^1(\Omega )$$. Therefore, for generic tile shapes and all sufficiently large patches, the rank of the return module is equal to the rank of$$\check H^1(\Omega )$$.

Abstract Cohesive powersof computable structures are effective analogs of ultrapowers, where cohesive sets play the role of ultrafilters. Let$$\omega $$,$$\zeta $$, and$$\eta $$denote the respective order-types of the natural numbers, the integers, and the rationals when thought of as linear orders. We investigate the cohesive powers of computable linear orders, with special emphasis on computable copies of$$\omega $$. If$$\mathcal {L}$$is a computable copy of$$\omega $$that is computably isomorphic to the usual presentation of$$\omega $$, then every cohesive power of$$\mathcal {L}$$has order-type$$\omega + \zeta \eta $$. However, there are computable copies of$$\omega $$, necessarily not computably isomorphic to the usual presentation, having cohesive powers not elementarily equivalent to$$\omega + \zeta \eta $$. For example, we show that there is a computable copy of$$\omega $$with a cohesive power of order-type$$\omega + \eta $$. Our most general result is that if$$X \subseteq \mathbb {N} \setminus \{0\}$$is a Boolean combination of$$\Sigma _2$$sets, thought of as a set of finite order-types, then there is a computable copy of$$\omega $$with a cohesive power of order-type$$\omega + \boldsymbol {\sigma }(X \cup \{\omega + \zeta \eta + \omega ^*\})$$, where$$\boldsymbol {\sigma }(X \cup \{\omega + \zeta \eta + \omega ^*\})$$denotes the shuffle of the order-types inXand the order-type$$\omega + \zeta \eta + \omega ^*$$. Furthermore, ifXis finite and non-empty, then there is a computable copy of$$\omega $$with a cohesive power of order-type$$\omega + \boldsymbol {\sigma }(X)$$.more » « less

Abstract Let$$\Omega _n$$be the ring of polynomial-valued holomorphic differential forms on complexn-space, referred to in physics as the superspace ring of rankn. The symmetric group$${\mathfrak {S}}_n$$acts diagonally on$$\Omega _n$$by permuting commuting and anticommuting generators simultaneously. We let$$SI_n \subseteq \Omega _n$$be the ideal generated by$${\mathfrak {S}}_n$$-invariants with vanishing constant term and study the quotient$$SR_n = \Omega _n / SI_n$$of superspace by this ideal. We calculate the doubly-graded Hilbert series of$$SR_n$$and prove an ‘operator theorem’, which characterizes the harmonic space$$SH_n \subseteq \Omega _n$$attached to$$SR_n$$in terms of the Vandermonde determinant and certain differential operators. Our methods employ commutative algebra results that were used in the study of Hessenberg varieties. Our results prove conjectures of N. Bergeron, Colmenarejo, Li, Machacek, Sulzgruber, Swanson, Wallach and Zabrocki.more » « less

Abstract We investigate a novel geometric Iwasawa theory for$${\mathbf Z}_p$$-extensions of function fields over a perfect fieldkof characteristic$$p>0$$by replacing the usual study ofp-torsion in class groups with the study ofp-torsion class groupschemes. That is, if$$\cdots \to X_2 \to X_1 \to X_0$$is the tower of curves overkassociated with a$${\mathbf Z}_p$$-extension of function fields totally ramified over a finite nonempty set of places, we investigate the growth of thep-torsion group scheme in the Jacobian of$$X_n$$as$$n\rightarrow \infty $$. By Dieudonné theory, this amounts to studying the first de Rham cohomology groups of$$X_n$$equipped with natural actions of Frobenius and of the Cartier operatorV. We formulate and test a number of conjectures which predict striking regularity in the$$k[V]$$-module structure of the space$$M_n:=H^0(X_n, \Omega ^1_{X_n/k})$$of global regular differential forms as$$n\rightarrow \infty .$$For example, for each tower in a basic class of$${\mathbf Z}_p$$-towers, we conjecture that the dimension of the kernel of$$V^r$$on$$M_n$$is given by$$a_r p^{2n} + \lambda _r n + c_r(n)$$for allnsufficiently large, where$$a_r, \lambda _r$$are rational constants and$$c_r : {\mathbf Z}/m_r {\mathbf Z} \to {\mathbf Q}$$is a periodic function, depending onrand the tower. To provide evidence for these conjectures, we collect extensive experimental data based on new and more efficient algorithms for working with differentials on$${\mathbf Z}_p$$-towers of curves, and we prove our conjectures in the case$$p=2$$and$$r=1$$.more » « less

Abstract Given a family$$\mathcal{F}$$of bipartite graphs, theZarankiewicz number$$z(m,n,\mathcal{F})$$is the maximum number of edges in an$$m$$by$$n$$bipartite graph$$G$$that does not contain any member of$$\mathcal{F}$$as a subgraph (such$$G$$is called$$\mathcal{F}$$-free). For$$1\leq \beta \lt \alpha \lt 2$$, a family$$\mathcal{F}$$of bipartite graphs is$$(\alpha,\beta )$$-smoothif for some$$\rho \gt 0$$and every$$m\leq n$$,$$z(m,n,\mathcal{F})=\rho m n^{\alpha -1}+O(n^\beta )$$. Motivated by their work on a conjecture of Erdős and Simonovits on compactness and a classic result of Andrásfai, Erdős and Sós, Allen, Keevash, Sudakov and Verstraëte proved that for any$$(\alpha,\beta )$$-smooth family$$\mathcal{F}$$, there exists$$k_0$$such that for all odd$$k\geq k_0$$and sufficiently large$$n$$, any$$n$$-vertex$$\mathcal{F}\cup \{C_k\}$$-free graph with minimum degree at least$$\rho (\frac{2n}{5}+o(n))^{\alpha -1}$$is bipartite. In this paper, we strengthen their result by showing that for every real$$\delta \gt 0$$, there exists$$k_0$$such that for all odd$$k\geq k_0$$and sufficiently large$$n$$, any$$n$$-vertex$$\mathcal{F}\cup \{C_k\}$$-free graph with minimum degree at least$$\delta n^{\alpha -1}$$is bipartite. Furthermore, our result holds under a more relaxed notion of smoothness, which include the families$$\mathcal{F}$$consisting of the single graph$$K_{s,t}$$when$$t\gg s$$. We also prove an analogous result for$$C_{2\ell }$$-free graphs for every$$\ell \geq 2$$, which complements a result of Keevash, Sudakov and Verstraëte.more » « less
