Density of monochromatic infinite subgraphs II

Jan Corsten, Louis DeBiasio, Paul McKenney

In 1967, Gerencsér and Gyárfás proved a result which is considered the starting point of graph-Ramsey theory: In every 2-coloring of there is a monochromatic path on $\lceil(…

Forcing axioms and coronas of -algebras

Paul McKenney, Alessandro Vignati

We prove rigidity results for large classes of corona algebras, assuming the Proper Forcing Axiom. In particular, we prove that a conjecture of Coskey and Farah holds for all separ…

Finite decomposition rank for virtually nilpotent groups

Caleb Eckhardt, Elizabeth Gillaspy, Paul McKenney

We show that inductive limits of virtually nilpotent groups have strongly quasidiagonal C*-algebras, extending results of the first author on solvable virtually nilpotent groups. W…

Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It? (Release v2023.06.11a)

Paul E. McKenney

The purpose of this book is to help you program shared-memory parallel systems without risking your sanity. Nevertheless, you should think of the information in this book as a foun…

Density of monochromatic infinite subgraphs

Louis DeBiasio, Paul McKenney

For any countably infinite graph , Ramsey's theorem guarantees an infinite monochromatic copy of in any -coloring of the edges of the countably infinite complete graph $K…

Verification of the Tree-Based Hierarchical Read-Copy Update in the Linux Kernel

Lihao Liang, Paul E. McKenney, Daniel Kroening +1

Read-Copy Update (RCU) is a scalable, high-performance Linux-kernel synchronization mechanism that runs low-overhead readers concurrently with updaters. Production-quality RCU impl…

Ulam stability for some classes of C*-algebras

Paul McKenney, Alessandro Vignati

We prove some stability results for certain classes of C*-algebras. We prove that whenever is a finite-dimensional C*-algebra, is a C*-algebra and is appro…

Classification of C*-algebras generated by representations of the unitriangular group

Caleb Eckhardt, Craig Kleski, Paul McKenney

It was recently shown that each C*-algebra generated by a faithful irreducible representation of a finitely generated, torsion free nilpotent group is classified by its ordered K-t…

Automorphisms of

Paul Larson, Paul McKenney

We study conditions on automorphisms of Boolean algebras of the form (where is an uncountable cardinal and is the ideal of sets of cardinality less than ) w…

Finitely generated nilpotent group C*-algebras have finite nuclear dimension

Caleb Eckhardt, Paul McKenney

We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra genera…

Reduced products of UHF algebras under forcing axioms

Paul McKenney

If is a sequence of C*-algebras, then the C*-algebra is called a reduced product. We prove, assuming Todorcevic's Axiom and Martin's Axiom, that e…

Homeomorphisms of Cech-Stone remainders: the zero-dimensional case

Ilijas Farah, Paul McKenney

We prove, using a weakening of the Proper Forcing Axiom, that any homemomorphism between Cech--Stone remainders of any two locally compact, zero-dimensional Polish spaces is induce…

Some Calkin algebras have outer automorphisms

Ilijas Farah, Paul McKenney, Ernest Schimmerling

We consider various quotients of the C*-algebra of bounded operators on a nonseparable Hilbert space, and prove in some cases that, consistently, there are many outer automorphisms…
