We estimate the packing measure of Cantor sets associated to nonincreasing sequences through their decay. This result, dual to one obtained by Besicovitch and Taylor, allows us to characterize the dimension functions recently found by Cabrelli et al for these sets.

Assuming the generalized continuum hypothesis we construct arbitrarily big indecomposable Banach spaces. i.e., such that whenever they are decomposed as X ⊕ Y , then one of the closed subspaces X or Y must be finite dimensional. It requires alternative techniques compared to those which were initiated by Gowers and Maurey or Argyros with the coauthors. This is because hereditarily indecomposabl...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate the invariant elements of the dual mod $p$ Steenrod subalgebra ${mathcal{A}_p}^*$ under the conjugation map $chi$ and give bounds on the dimensions of $(chi-1)({mathcal{A}_p}^*)_d$‎, ‎where $({mathcal{A}_p}^*)_d$ is the dimension of ${mathcal{A}_p}^*$ in degree $d$‎.

We give a survey of the known results concerning the sets c0(Λ), c(Λ) and c∞(Λ) including their basic topological properties, their first and second dual spaces, and the characterizations of matrix transformations from them into the spaces l∞, c and c0. Furthermore, we establish some new results such as the representations of the general bounded linear operators from c(Λ) into the spaces l∞, c ...

This paper uses the locale theory approach to topology. Two descriptions are given of all locale limits, the first description using suplattice constructions and the second preframe constructions. The symmetries between these two approaches to locale theory are explored. Given an informal assumption that open locale maps are parallel to proper maps (an assumption hinted at by the underlying fin...

Let Ω be a bounded C∞-smoothly bounded domain in C. For such a domain we define a new notion between strict pseudo-convexity and pseudo-convexity: the size of the set W of weakly pseudo-convex points on ∂Ω is small with respect to Minkowski dimension: near each point in the boundary ∂Ω, there is at least one complex tangent direction in which the slices of W has a upper Minkowski dimension stri...

Confining strings in 4D are effective, thick strings describing the confinement phase of compact U(1) and, possibly, also non-Abelian gauge fields. We show that these strings are dual to the gauge fields, inasmuch their perturbative regime corresponds to the strong coupling (e ≫ 1) regime of the gauge theory. In this regime they describe smooth surfaces with long-range correlations and Hausdorf...
