The Nerve Theorem relates the topological type of a suitably nice space with the nerve of a good cover of that space. It has many variants, such as to consider acyclic covers and numerous applications in topology including applied and…
We prove some extension theorems for analytic objects, in particular sections of a coherent sheaf, defined in semi q-coronae of a complex space. Semi q-coronae are domains whose boundary is the union of a Levi flat part, a q-pseudoconvex…
This essay is a nontechnical primer for a broader audience, in which I paint a broad-brush picture of modern cosmology. I begin by reviewing the evidence for the big bang, including the expansion of our Universe, the cosmic microwave…
New cases of the multiplicity conjecture are considered.
First-order applicative term rewriting systems provide a natural framework for modeling higher-order aspects. In earlier work we introduced an uncurrying transformation which is termination preserving and reflecting. In this paper we…
We develop two generalizations of contraction theory, namely, semi-contraction and weak-contraction theory. First, using the notion of semi-norm, we propose a geometric framework for semi-contraction theory. We introduce matrix…
Based on the notion of vectors and linear subspaces for a matroid, we develop a theory of flats and hyperplane arrangements for T-matroids, where T is a tract. This leads to several cryptomorphic descriptions of T-matroids: in terms of its…
We present a survey of the many and various elements of the modern higher-dimensional theory of quasiconformal mappings and their wide and varied application. It is unified (and limited) by the theme of the author's interests. Thus we will…
We present a (possibly) new sphere eversion based on the contractibility* of a certain subset of the space of immersions of the circle in the plane. (*: by strong deformation retraction)
Brane actions with chiral bosons present special challenges. Recent progress in the description of the two main examples -- the M theory five-brane and the heterotic string -- is described. Also, double dimensional reduction of the M theory…
I briefly review the numerical evidence, some old and some quite recent, in favor of the center vortex theory of confinement.
I review the classical theory of likelihood based inference and consider how it is being extended and developed for use in complex models and sampling schemes.
A new cosmological theory is proposed in the theoretical framework of modified gravity theories which is based on a tachyonic field non-minimally coupled with a specific topological invariant constructed with third order contractions of the…
I comment critically on the use and misuse of the theory of vacuum, pseudoparticles and pseudotensors. The mathematical and phenomenological arguments against the Higgs mechanism and the inflationary scenario are presented. I conclude with…
We give an upper bound for the degree of rational curves in a family that covers a given birational ruled surface in projective space. The upper bound is stated in terms of the degree, sectional genus and arithmetic genus of the surface. We…
We provide conditions under which the union of two first-order theories has the amalgamation property.
In the first part I briefly survey recent issues in constituent quark models raised by the observation of unusual hadronic states. In particular I discuss the role of higher Fock components in the wave function of baryons and the possible…
It gives some new forms of General Neron Desingularization and new applications.
Young's integral inequality is complemented with an upper bound to the remainder. The new inequality turns out to be equivalent to Young's inequality, and the cases in which the equality holds become particularly transparent in the new…
The M-theory origin of brane creation processes is discussed.
