Indiscernible extraction at small large cardinals from a higher-arity stability notion
We introduce a higher-arity stability notion defined in terms of $k$-splitting, a higher-arity generalization of splitting. We show that theories with bounded $k$-splitting have improved indiscernible extraction at $k$-ineffable cardinals, and we give a non-trivial example of a theory with bounded $k$-splitting but unbounded $(k-1)$-splitting for each odd $k > 1$. We also show that bounded $k$-splitting implies $\mathrm{NFOP}_k$, a higher arity stability notion introduced by Terry and Wolf. We …

Study of higher-order interactions in unweighted, undirected networks using persistent homology
Persistent homology has been studied to better understand the structural properties and topology features of weighted networks. It can reveal hidden layers of information about the higher-order structures formed by non-pairwise interactions in a network. Studying of higher-order interactions (HoIs) of a system provides a more comprehensive understanding of the complex system; moreover, it is a more precise depiction of the system as many complex systems, such as ecological systems and biologica…

Higher co-dimension de Sitter branes

Higher co-dimension de Sitter branes
We extend the arguments of Maldacena and Núñez to include higher co-dimension brane setups and derive a new no-go theorem. Specifically, we show that under reasonable assumptions on the energy-momentum conservation and the bulk curvature, co-dimension-two branes fail to support stable de Sitter solutions. For co-dimensions higher than two embedded in a compact internal space, we show that negative tension sources would be required. This result places strong constraints on the viability of hig…
