We show there are no non-trivial finite Abelian group-valued measures on the lattice of closed subspaces of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, and we use this to establish that the unigroup of the lattice of closed subspaces of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is divisible. The main technique is a combinatorial construction of a set of vectors in R 2n generalizing properties of those used in various treatments of the KochenSpecker theorem in R 4 .
The expected number of vertices that remain joined to the root vertex s of a rooted graph G s when edges are prone to fail is a polynomial EV(G s ; p) in the edge probability p that depends on the location of s. We show that optimal locations for the root can vary arbitrarily as p varies from 0 to 1 by constructing a graph in which every permutation of k -specified vertices is the "optimal" ordering for some p, 0 < p < 1. We also investigate zeroes of EV(G s ; p), proving that the number of vertices of G is bounded by the size of the largest rational zero.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
