At the source of what is now known as “geometric stability theory” was Zil'ber's intuition that the essential properties of an aleph-one-categorical theory were controlled by the geometries of its minimal types. (However, the situation is much more complex than was assumed in Zil'ber [1984], since the main conjecture of that paper has been disproved by Hrushovski.) This is not unnatural in this unidimensional case, where all these geometries have isomorphic contractions, but it was even realized later, in Cherlin, Harrington and Lachlan [1985] and Buechler [1986], that, for any superstable theory with finite ranks, a certain “local” property, i.e. a property satisfied by the geometry of each type of rank one (namely: to have a projective contraction), was equivalent to a “global” one (the theory is one-based, hence satisfies a coordinatization lemma). Then it was shown, in Pillay [1986], that this situation does not generalize to the infinite rank case, that, even for a theory of rank omega, the (local) assumption of projectivity for all the regular types of the theory does not have an exact global counterpart.To clarify this kind of phenomena, I suggest here the elimination of their geometrical aspect, considering only the case where all of the geometries are degenerate. I will study various notions of triviality, which make sense in a stable context, and turn out to be equivalent in the finite rank case; some of them have a definite global flavour, others are of local character.

The Right

CM-triviality of a stable theory is a notion introduced by Hrushovski [1]. The importance of this property is first that it holds of Hrushovski's new non 1-based strongly minimal sets, and second that it is still quite a restrictive property, and forbids the existence of definable fields or simple groups (see [2]). In [5], Frank Wagner posed some questions about CM-triviality, asking in particular whether a structure of finite rank, which is “coordinatized” by CM-trivial types of rank 1, is itself CM-trivial. (Actually Wagner worked in a slightly more general context, adapting the definitions to a certain “local” framework, in which algebraic closure is replaced by P-closure, for P some family of types. We will, however, remain in the standard context, and will just remark here that it is routine to translate our results into Wagner's framework, as well as to generalise to the superstable theory/regular type context.) In any case we answer Wagner's question positively. Also in an attempt to put forward some concrete conjectures about the possible geometries of strongly minimal sets (or stable theories) we tentatively suggest a hierarchy of geometric properties of forking, the first two levels of which correspond to 1-basedness and CM-triviality respectively. We do not know whether this is a strict hierarchy (or even whether these are the “right” notions), but we conjecture that it is, and moreover that a counterexample to Cherlin's conjecture can be found at level three in the hierarchy.

Abstract The classical Aronszajn–Donoghue theorem states that for a rank-one perturbation of a self-adjoint operator (by a cyclic vector) the singular parts of the spectral measures of the original and perturbed operators are mutually singular. As simple direct sum type examples show, this result does not hold for finite rank perturbations. However, the set of exceptional perturbations is pretty small. Namely, for a family of rank $d$ perturbations $A_{\boldsymbol{\alpha }}:= A + {\textbf{B}} {\boldsymbol{\alpha }} {\textbf{B}}^*$, ${\textbf{B}}:{\mathbb C}^d\to{{\mathcal{H}}}$, with ${\operatorname{Ran}}{\textbf{B}}$ being cyclic for $A$, parametrized by $d\times d$ Hermitian matrices ${\boldsymbol{\alpha }}$, the singular parts of the spectral measures of $A$ and $A_{\boldsymbol{\alpha }}$ are mutually singular for all ${\boldsymbol{\alpha }}$ except for a small exceptional set $E$. It was shown earlier by the 1st two authors, see [4], that $E$ is a subset of measure zero of the space $\textbf{H}(d)$ of $d\times d$ Hermitian matrices. In this paper, we show that the set $E$ has small Hausdorff dimension, $\dim E \le \dim \textbf{H}(d)-1 = d^2-1$.

AbstractThis paper establishes a new combinatorial framework for the study of coarse median spaces, bridging the worlds of asymptotic geometry, algebra and combinatorics. We introduce a simple and entirely algebraic notion of coarse median algebra which simultaneously generalises the concepts of bounded geometry coarse median spaces and classical discrete median algebras. We study the coarse median universe from the perspective of intervals, with a particular focus on cardinality as a proxy for distance. In particular we prove that the metric on a quasi-geodesic coarse median space of bounded geometry can be constructed up to quasi-isometry using only the coarse median operator. Finally we develop a concept of rank for coarse median algebras in terms of the geometry of intervals and show that the notion of finite rank coarse median algebra provides a natural higher dimensional analogue of Gromov’s concept of $$\delta $$ δ -hyperbolicity.

Abstract We consider a statistical model for finite-rank symmetric tensor factorization and prove a single-letter variational expression for its asymptotic mutual information when the tensor is of even order. The proof applies the adaptive interpolation method originally invented for rank-one factorization. Here we show how to extend the adaptive interpolation to finite-rank and even-order tensors. This requires new non-trivial ideas with respect to the current analysis in the literature. We also underline where the proof falls short when dealing with odd-order tensors.
