We clarify and correct some statements and results in the literature concerning unimodularity in the sense of Hrushovski [7], and measurability in the sense of Macpherson and Steinhorn [8], pointing out in particular that the two notions coincide for strongly minimal structures and that another property from [7] is strictly weaker, as well as “completing” Elwes’ proof [5] that measurability imp...

We assess the strength of the different conditions identified in the literature of robust mechanism design. We focus on three conditions: ex post incentive compatibility, robust monotonicity, and robust measurability. Ex post incentive compatibility has been shown to be necessary for any concept of robust implementation, while robust monotonicity and robust measurability have been shown to be n...

Say that κ’s measurability is destructible if there exists a <κ-closed forcing adding a new subset of κ which destroys κ’s measurability. For any δ, let λδ =df The least beth fixed point above δ. Suppose that κ is indestructibly supercompact and there is a measurable cardinal λ > κ. It then follows that A1 = {δ < κ | δ is measurable, δ is not a limit of measurable cardinals, δ is not δ+ strongl...

We show that definable sets of finite S1-rank in algebraically closed fields with an automorphism can be measured.

When quantum mechanical and general relativistic effects are taken into account in the analysis of distance measurements, one finds a measurability bound. I observe that some of the structures that have been encountered in the literature on the Quantum κPoincarè Group naturally lead to this bound.
