PROOF-THEORETIC RELATIONS BETWEEN HIGMAN’S AND KRUSKAL’S THEOREM, AND INDEPENDENCE RESULTS FOR TREE-LIKE STRUCTURES

Abstract Higman’s lemma and Kruskal’s theorem are two of the most celebrated results in the theory of well quasi-orders. In his seminal paper G. Higman obtained what is known as Higman’s lemma as a corollary of a more general theorem, dubbed here as Higman’s theorem. While the le...

Wall and chamber structure for a special biserial algebra coming from perverse sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^{n}$

We describe the wall and chamber structure of a special biserial algebra whose module category is equivalent to the category of (middle) perverse sheaves on the complex projective space \mathbb{P}^{n} . In particular, by the well-known classification of indecomposable modules for...

Initial treatment strategies and outcomes across haemodynamic thresholds and risk stratification in incident systemic sclerosis–associated pulmonary arterial hypertension: a EUSTAR analysis

OBJECTIVE: Real-world initial treatment strategies in SSc-PAH remain incompletely described. We aimed to characterise these strategies across haemodynamic thresholds and risk strata and evaluate outcome associations. METHODS: We analysed treatment-naïve SSc-PAH patients in EUSTAR...
