If ZFC is consistent, then each of the following are consistent with ZFC + 20 = א2: 1. X ⊆ IR is of strong measure zero iff |X| ≤ א1 + there is a generalized Sierpinski set. 2. The union of א1 many strong measure zero sets is a strong measure zero set + there is a strong measure zero set of size א2. 1 The authors thank the Israel Foundation for Basic Research, Israel Academy of Science. 2 Publi...

In this paper, we introduce a new entropy-like invariant, named Hausdorff metric entropy, for finitely generated semigroups acting on compact metric spaces from a set-valued view and study its properties. We establish the relation between Hausdorff metric entropy and topological entropy of a semigroup defined by Bis. Some examples with positive or zero Hausdorff metric entropy are given. Moreov...

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity, and $ mathrm{A}(R) $ be the set of ideals with non-zero annihilator. The annihilating-ideal graph of $ R $ is defined as the graph $AG(R)$ with the vertex set $ mathrm{A}(R)^{*}=mathrm{A}(R)setminuslbrace 0rbrace $ and two distinct vertices $ I $ and $ J $ are adjacent if and only if $ IJ=0 $. In this paper, conditions under which $AG(R)$ is either E...

Due to the importance of zero-shot learning, i.e. classifying images where there is a lack of labeled training data, the number of proposed approaches has recently increased steadily. We argue that it is time to take a step back and to analyze the status quo of the area. The purpose of this paper is three-fold. First, given the fact that there is no agreed upon zero-shot learning benchmark, we ...
