For

|A| = n

, how small can the cofactor set

Q(A) = \{a / \gcd(a,b) : a, b \in A\}

be? The answer is

h(n) = n^{1/2 + o(1)}

: a new upper bound

h(n) \le n^{1/2} \exp(O(\sqrt{\log n}))

matches the classical lower bound.

Erdos Problem #593 asks which finite triple systems occur in every uncountably chromatic triple system. The answer is exactly the class generated from private-vertex expansions of finite bipartite graphs by finite disjoint unions and one-point amalgamations. Problem #1177 on exact spectra is settled alongside it.

a function from the finite subsets of

f(A)\not\in A

. Must there exist an infinite independent

Y\subseteq X

, i.e. with

f(B)\not\in Y

B\subset Y

? Claimed resolution: the positive assertion is equivalent to Koepke's free-subset property, hence independent of ZFC, with consistency strength exactly a measurable cardinal.

For triangular arrays of nodes

let

\mathcal{L}^nf
