Prediction problems and ultrafilters on ω

Alan D. Taylor — 2012

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider prediction problems in which each of a countably infinite set of agents tries to guess his own hat color based on the colors of the hats worn by the agents he can see, where who can see whom is specified by a graph V on ω. Our interest is in the case in which 𝓤 is an ultrafilter on the set of agents, and we seek conditions on 𝓤 and V ensuring the existence of a strategy such that the set of agents guessing correctly is of 𝓤-measure one. A natural necessary condition is the absence...

Minimal predictors in hat problems

Christopher S. HardinAlan D. Taylor — 2010

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider a combinatorial problem related to guessing the values of a function at various points based on its values at certain other points, often presented by way of a hat-problem metaphor: there are a number of players who will have colored hats placed on their heads, and they wish to guess the colors of their own hats. A visibility relation specifies who can see which hats. This paper focuses on the existence of minimal predictors: strategies guaranteeing at least one player guesses correctly,...

Perturbation results for the local Phragmén-Lindelöf condition and stable homogeneous polynomials.

The local Phragmén-Lindelöf condition for analytic varieties in complex n-space was introduced by Hörmander and plays an important role in various areas of analysis. Recently, new necessary geometric properties for a variety satisfying this condition were derived by the present authors. These results are now applied to investigate the homogeneous polynomials P with real coefficients that are stable in the following sense: Whenever f is a holomorphic function that is defined in some neighborhood...
