LECTURE 18 1. Chapter 6.1 Again! Definition (Ordered N-Tuple) DISCRETE MATH: LECTURE 18 DR. DANIEL FREEMAN 1. Chapter 6.1 again! Definition (ordered n-tuple). Let n be a positive integer and let x1; x2; :::; xn be n ele- ments. (x1; x2) is called an ordered pair,(x1; x2; x3) is called an ordered triple, and (x1; x2; :::; xn) is called an ordered n-tuple. Two n-tuples (x1; x2; :::; xn) and (y1; y2; :::; yn) are equal if and only if x1 = y1, x2 = y2, ..., xn = yn. That is: (x1; x2; :::; xn) = (y1; y2; :::; yn) , x1 = y1; x2 = y2; :::; xn = yn Examples: • Is (1; 2; 3) = (1; 2; 3; 4)? • Is f1; 2; 3g = (1; 2; 3)? • Is (1; 2; 3) = (1; 3; 2)? 1 2 DR.

Symbolically, that is: A1 × A2 × ::: × An = f(a1; a2; :::; an) k a1 2 A1; a2 2 A2; :::; an 2 Ang: In particular, A1 × A2 = f(a1; a2) k a1 2 A1; a2 2 A2g: Example: A = x; y, B = 1; 2; 3, and C = a; b • A × B = • (A × B) × C = • A × B × C = DISCRETE MATH: LECTURE 18 3 2. 7.1 Functions Definition. A function f from a set X to a set Y , denoted f : X ! Y , is a relation with domain X and co-domain Y that satisfies the two properties: (1) every element in X is related to an element in Y . (2) no element in X is related to more than one element in Y . For each x 2 X, we denote f(x) to be the element related to x by f. We call the set of values in Y which f maps an element in X to the range of f, or the image of X under f. That is, range of f = fy 2 Y j 9x 2 X; such that f(x) = yg: Given an element y 2 Y , we call all the points which get mapped to y the preimage of y or inverse image of y. That is, preimage of y = fx 2 X j f(x) = yg: Example: Arrow diagrams for X = f0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5g, Y = f0; 1; 2g • f : X ! Y , f(x) = x mod 2 • g : X ! Y , f(x) = x mod 3 • h : X !

A by f(n) = an 8n 2 N: Then f(1); f(2); f(3); ::: is the sequence a1; a2; a3; ::: Let g : N ! A be a function. Then g(1); g(2); g(3); ::: is a sequence in A. Thus sequences are equivalent to functions with domain N. (3) Cartesian product: Let f : X ! Y be a function. Then f(x; f(x)) j x 2 Xg ⊆ X × Y: Let A ⊆ X × Y . What properties must A posses for there to exist a function f : X ! Y such that A = f(x; f(x)) j x 2 Xg ? DISCRETE MATH: LECTURE 18 5 Definition. If f : X ! Y is a function and A ⊆ X and C ⊆ Y , then we denote • f(A) = fy 2 Y j y = f(x) for some x 2 Ag • f −1(C) = fx 2 X j f(x) 2 Cg f(A) is called the image of A, and f −1(C) is called the inverse image of C. Example: Let f : X ! Y be a function and A; B ⊆ X. Prove that: f(A \ B) ⊂ f(A) \ f(B) Give an example of a function f : X ! Y and sets A; B ⊆ X such that f(A \ B) 6= f(A) \ f(B): 6 DR.

  • On Free Products of N-Tuple Semigroups
    n-tuple semigroups Anatolii Zhuchok Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University Starobilsk, Ukraine E-mail: [email protected] Anatolii Zhuchok Plan 1. Introduction 2. Examples of n-tuple semigroups and the independence of axioms 3. Free n-tuple semigroups 4. Free products of n-tuple semigroups 5. References Anatolii Zhuchok 1. Introduction The notion of an n-tuple algebra of associative type was introduced in [1] in connection with an attempt to obtain an analogue of the Chevalley construction for modular Lie algebras of Cartan type. This notion is based on the notion of an n-tuple semigroup. Recall that a nonempty set G is called an n-tuple semigroup [1], if it is endowed with n binary operations, denoted by 1 ; 2 ; :::; n , which satisfy the following axioms: (x r y) s z = x r (y s z) for any x; y; z 2 G and r; s 2 f1; 2; :::; ng. The class of all n-tuple semigroups is rather wide and contains, in particular, the class of all semigroups, the class of all commutative trioids (see, for example, [2, 3]) and the class of all commutative dimonoids (see, for example, [4, 5]). Anatolii Zhuchok 2-tuple semigroups, causing the greatest interest from the point of view of applications, occupy a special place among n-tuple semigroups. So, 2-tuple semigroups are closely connected with the notion of an interassociative semigroup (see, for example, [6, 7]). Moreover, 2-tuple semigroups, satisfying some additional identities, form so-called restrictive bisemigroups, considered earlier in the works of B. M. Schein (see, for example, [8, 9]).

Mike Krebs, Ph.D. Kristin Webster, Ph.D. Michael Hoffman, Ph.D., Committee Chair Grant Fraser, Ph.D., Department Chair California State University, Los Angeles June 2015 iii ABSTRACT Equivalents to the Axiom of Choice and Their Uses By James Szufu Yang In set theory, the Axiom of Choice (AC) was formulated in 1904 by Ernst Zermelo. It is an addition to the older Zermelo-Fraenkel (ZF) set theory. We call it Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the Axiom of Choice and abbreviate it as ZFC. This paper starts with an introduction to the foundations of ZFC set the- ory, which includes the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms, partially ordered sets (posets), the Cartesian product, the Axiom of Choice, and their related proofs. It then intro- duces several equivalent forms of the Axiom of Choice and proves that they are all equivalent. In the end, equivalents to the Axiom of Choice are used to prove a few fundamental theorems in set theory, linear analysis, and abstract algebra. This paper is concluded by a brief review of the work in it, followed by a few points of interest for further study in mathematics and/or set theory. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Between the two department requirements to complete a master's degree in mathematics − the comprehensive exams and a thesis, I really wanted to experience doing a research and writing a serious academic paper.

  • Canonical Models for Fragments of the Axiom of Choice∗
    Canonical models for fragments of the axiom of choice∗ Paul Larson y Jindˇrich Zapletal z Miami University University of Florida June 23, 2015 Abstract We develop a technology for investigation of natural forcing extensions of the model L(R) which satisfy such statements as \there is an ultrafil- ter" or \there is a total selector for the Vitali equivalence relation". The technology reduces many questions about ZF implications between con- sequences of the axiom of choice to natural ZFC forcing problems. 1 Introduction In this paper, we develop a technology for obtaining certain type of consistency results in choiceless set theory, showing that various consequences of the axiom of choice are independent of each other. We will consider the consequences of a certain syntactical form. 2 ! Definition 1.1. AΣ1 sentence Φ is tame if it is of the form 9A ⊂ ! (8~x 2 !! 9~y 2 A φ(~x;~y))^(8~x 2 A (~x)), where φ, are formulas which contain only numerical quantifiers and do not refer to A anymore, and may refer to a fixed analytic subset of 2! as a predicate. The formula are called the resolvent of the sentence. This is a syntactical class familiar from the general treatment of cardinal invari- ants in [11, Section 6.1]. It is clear that many consequences of Axiom of Choice are of this form: Example 1.2.

  • Defining Sets
    Math 134 Honors Calculus Fall 2016 Handout 4: Sets All of mathematics uses set theory as an underlying foundation. Intuitively, a set is a collection of objects, considered as a whole. The objects that make up the set are called its elements or its members. The elements of a set may be any objects whatsoever, but for our purposes, they will usually be mathematical objects such as numbers, functions, or other sets. The notation x ∈ X means that the object x is an element of the set X. The words collection and family are synonyms for set. In rigorous axiomatic developments of set theory, the words set and element are taken as primitive undefined terms. (It would be very difficult to define the word “set” without using some word such as “collection,” which is essentially a synonym for “set.”) Instead of giving a general mathematical definition of what it means to be a set, or for an object to be an element of a set, mathematicians characterize each particular set by giving a precise definition of what it means for an object to be a element of that set—this is called the set’s membership criterion. The membership criterion for a set X is a statement of the form “x ∈ X ⇔ P (x),” where P (x) is some sentence that is true precisely for those objects x that are elements of X, and no others. For example, if Q is the set of all rational numbers, then the membership criterion for Q might be expressed as follows: x ∈ Q ⇔ x = p/q for some integers p and q with q 6= 0.

  • The Number of Countable Models
    The number of countable models Enrique Casanovas March 11, 2012 ∗ 1 Small theories Definition 1.1 T is small if for all n < !, jSn(;)j ≤ !. Remark 1.2 If T is small, then there is a countable L0 ⊆ L such that for every '(x) 2 L 0 0 there is some ' (x) 2 L0 such that in T , '(x) ≡ ' (x). Hence, T is a definitional extension of the countable theory T0 = T L0. Proof: See Remark 14.25 in [4]. With respect to the second assertion, consider some n-ary relation symbol R 2 L r L0. There is some formula '(x1; : : : ; xn) 2 L0 equivalent to Rx1 : : : xn in T . If we add all the definitions 8x1 : : : xn(Rx1 : : : xn $ '(x1; : : : ; xn)) (and similar definitions for constants and function symbols) to T0 we obtain T . 2 Lemma 1.3 The following are equivalent: 1. T is small. 2. For all n < !, for all finite A, jSn(A)j ≤ !. 3. For all finite A, jS1(A)j ≤ !. 4. T has a saturated countable model. Proof: See Remark 14.26 in [4]. Some topological considerations are helpful for the following discussions. A boolean2 topological space X can be decomposed using the Cantor-Bendixson derivative as [ (α) (α+1) 1 X = ( X r X ) [ X α2On (0) (α+1) (α) (β) T where X = X, X is the set of accumulation points of X , X = α<β Xα for (1) T (1) limit β and X = α2On Xα. All Xα are closed. The perfect kernel X does not contain isolated points (with respect to the induced topology) and hence it is empty or it <! contains a binary tree (Us : s 2 2 ) of nonempty clopen sets Us with Us = Usa0[_ Usa1, which gives 2! many points in X(1).

  • A Understanding Cardinality Estimation Using Entropy Maximization
    A Understanding Cardinality Estimation using Entropy Maximization CHRISTOPHER RE´ , University of Wisconsin–Madison DAN SUCIU, University of Washington, Seattle Cardinality estimation is the problem of estimating the number of tuples returned by a query; it is a fundamentally important task in data management, used in query optimization, progress estimation, and resource provisioning. We study cardinality estimation in a principled framework: given a set of statistical assertions about the number of tuples returned by a fixed set of queries, predict the number of tuples returned by a new query. We model this problem using the probability space, over possible worlds, that satisfies all provided statistical assertions and maximizes entropy. We call this the Entropy Maximization model for statistics (MaxEnt). In this paper we develop the mathematical techniques needed to use the MaxEnt model for predicting the cardinality of conjunctive queries. Categories and Subject Descriptors: H.2.4 [Database Management]: Systems—Query processing General Terms: Theory Additional Key Words and Phrases: Cardinality Estimation, Entropy Models, Entropy Maximization, Query Processing 1. INTRODUCTION Cardinality estimation is the process of estimating the number of tuples returned by a query. In rela- tional database query optimization, cardinality estimates are key statistics used by the optimizer to choose an (expected) lowest cost plan. As a result of the importance of the problem, there are many sources of statistical information available to the optimizer, e.g., query feedback records [Stillger et al. 2001; Chaudhuri et al. 2008] and distinct value counts [Alon et al. 1996], and many models to capture some portion of the available statistical information, e.g., histograms [Poosala and Ioannidis 1997; Kaushik and Suciu 2009], samples [Haas et al.

  • On the Necessary Use of Abstract Set Theory
    ADVANCES IN MATHEMATICS 41, 209-280 (1981) On the Necessary Use of Abstract Set Theory HARVEY FRIEDMAN* Department of Mathematics, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210 In this paper we present some independence results from the Zermelo-Frankel axioms of set theory with the axiom of choice (ZFC) which differ from earlier such independence results in three major respects. Firstly, these new propositions that are shown to be independent of ZFC (i.e., neither provable nor refutable from ZFC) form mathematically natural assertions about Bore1 functions of several variables from the Hilbert cube I” into the unit interval, or back into the Hilbert cube. As such, they are of a level of abstraction significantly below that of the earlier independence results. Secondly, these propositions are not only independent of ZFC, but also of ZFC together with the axiom of constructibility (V = L). The only earlier examples of intelligible statements independent of ZFC + V= L either express properties of formal systems such as ZFC (e.g., the consistency of ZFC), or assert the existence of very large cardinalities (e.g., inaccessible cardinals). The great bulk of independence results from ZFCLthe ones that involve standard mathematical concepts and constructions-are about sets of limited cardinality (most commonly, that of at most the continuum), and are obtained using the forcing method introduced by Paul J. Cohen (see [2]). It is now known in virtually every such case, that these independence results are eliminated if V= L is added to ZFC. Finally, some of our propositions can be proved in the theory of classes, as formalized by the Morse-Kelley class theory with the axiom of choice for sets (MKC), but not in ZFC.

  • Small Gaps Between Three Almost Primes and Almost Prime Powers
    SMALL GAPS BETWEEN THREE ALMOST PRIMES AND ALMOST PRIME POWERS DANIEL A. GOLDSTON, APOORVA PANIDAPU, AND JORDAN SCHETTLER Abstract. A positive integer is called an Ej -number if it is the product of j distinct primes. We prove that there are infinitely many triples of E2-numbers within a gap size of 32 and infinitely many triples of E3-numbers within a gap size of 15. Assuming the Elliot-Halberstam conjecture for primes and E2- numbers, we can improve these gaps to 12 and 5, respectively. We can obtain even smaller gaps for almost primes, almost prime powers, or integers having the same exponent pattern in the their prime factorizations. In particular, if d(x) denotes the number of divisors of x, we prove that there are integers a, b with 1 ≤ a < b ≤ 9 such that d(x) = d(x + a) = d(x + b) = 192 for infinitely many x. Assuming Elliot-Halberstam, we prove that there are integers a, b with 1 ≤ a < b ≤ 4 such that d(x) = d(x + a) = d(x + b) = 24 for infinitely many x. 1. Introduction For our purposes, an almost prime or almost prime power will refer to a positive integer with some fixed small number of prime factors counted with or without multiplicity, respectively. Small gaps between primes and almost primes became a popular subject of research following the results of the GPY sieve [GPY09] and Yitang Zhang’s subsequent proof of bounded gaps between primes [Zha14]. For a positive integer x, let Ω(x) denote the number of prime factors of x counted with multiplicity, and let ω(x) denote the number of prime factors of x counted without multiplicity, i.e., ω(x) is the number of distinct primes dividing x.
