We prove undecidability for every positive relevant logic extending the system axiomatized by hypothetical syllogism, prefixing, and suffixing and contained in the logic of the semilattice frame $(P_{\mathrm{fin}}(\mathbb{N}), \cup,…
In this short note we give a negative answer to the following open question: \emph{Let $X$ be a $\sigma$-compact paratopological group. Does there exist a continuous isomorphism of $X$ onto a topological group $G$?} Specifically, we…
This paper introduces a Laws of Form version of the Quaternions. We call this the Q-Calculus, a 16-valued extension of Laws of Form (LoF) which is closely related to the BF Calculus (where we have a single square root of the mark) and the…
This paper gives a structural explanation for the Z-relation by modelling pitch-class sets as complete weighted graphs and encoding their interval content in a composition of $n$ via an additivity rule. We introduce the realization number…
This article explores several fundamental aspects of fuzzy $\mathscr{F}$-metric spaces and their applications in mathematical analysis. We investigate some essential properties concerning compactness and total boundedness in fuzzy…
We prove some results about the theory of independence in $\mathrm{NSOP}_{3}$ theories that do not hold in $\mathrm{NSOP}_{4}$ theories. We generalize Chernikov's work on simple and co-simple types in $\mathrm{NTP}_{2}$ theories to types…
In this article, it is proved that the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function must lie on the critical line, known as the Riemann hypothesis.
In chapter 9 of his book "The Axiom of Determinacy, Forcing Axioms, and the Nonstationary Ideal", Woodin shows how to force the Strong Chang Conjecture over models of determinacy using $\mathbb{P}_{\mathrm{max}}$. We show here how a…
In a previous paper we introduced a version of associativity for a partial infinitary operation. We prove here that if $\gamma$ is an infinite ordinal and some associative infinitary operation is defined for all sequences indexed by…
We investigate B\"uchi Arithmetic $\mathsf{BA}_k$ -- the elementary theory of the natural numbers equipped with addition and the function mapping a number $x$ to the greatest power of $k$ dividing $x$. $\mathsf{BA}_k$ is known to be…
We analyze a construction of Cherlin, van den Dries, and Macintyre to code graphs in PAC fields. We show that, in many cases, model-theoretic properties of the graph are preserved in the passage from the graph to the field. As a corollary,…
We develop a unified analytical and dynamical framework for the qualitative study of the one-parameter family of generalized Dirichlet eta functions $\eta_{a}(t)=\sum_{m\ge0}(-1)^{m}(am+1)^{-t}$, $a>0$, $t>0$, which includes the classical…
Unbounded {\L}ukasiewicz logic is a substructural logic that combines features of infinite-valued {\L}ukasiewicz logic with those of abelian logic. The logic is finitely strongly complete w.r.t.~the additive $\ell$-group on the reals…
For an $\omega$-categorical theory $T$ and model $\mathcal{M}$ of $T$ we define a hierarchy of ranks, the $n$-ranks for $n < \omega$ which only care about imaginary elements ``up to level $n$'', where level $n$ contains every element of $M$…
In this article we solve the Cauchy problem for the relaxation equation posed in a framework of variable order fractional calculus. After introducing some general mathematical theory we establish concepts of Scarpi derivative and transition…
In 1964 Shepherdson \cite{shepherdson:1964} proved that a discretely ordered semiring $\mathcal{M}^+$ satisfies $\sf{IOpen}$ (quantifier free induction) iff the corresponding ring $\mathcal{M}$ is an integer part of the real closure of the…
We consider a logic with truth values in the unit interval and which uses aggregation functions instead of quantifiers, and we describe a general approach to asymptotic elimination of aggregation functions and, indirectly, of asymptotic…
Forcing was first introduced by Paul J. Cohen in his work on the independence of the Continuum Hypothesis. Other formulations of forcing appeared using Model Theory, Boolean-valued Models, and Topos Theory. There is a folkloric claim that…
Cruz Chapital, Goto, Hayashi and the author showed that the game-theoretic variants $\mathfrak{s}_{\mathrm{game}^*}^\mathrm{I}$ and $\mathfrak{s}_{\mathrm{game}^{**}}^\mathrm{I}$ of the splitting number $\mathfrak{s}$ are consistently…
The graph Fourier transform (GFT) is a fundamental tool in graph signal processing and has recently been extended to the graph fractional Fourier transform (GFRFT). Existing sampling methods in the GFRFT domain are primarily designed to…
