This is a first graduate course in algebraic geometry. It aims to give the student a lift up into the subject at the research level, with lots of interesting topics taken from the classification of surfaces, and a human-oriented discussion…
In this paper we give a method, based on the characteristic function of a set, to solve some difficult problems of set theory in undergraduate research.
Real algebraic geometry is the study of semi-algebraic sets, subsets of $\R^k$ defined by Boolean combinations of polynomial equalities and inequalities. The focus of this thesis is to study quantitative results in real algebraic geometry,…
We use a method from descriptive set theory to investigate the two precomplete clones above the unary clone on a countable set.
We present the first steps of a predicative reconstruction of the constructive Bishop-Cheng measure theory. Working in a semi-formal elaboration of Bishop's set theory and invoking the notion of a set-indexed family of subsets (of a given…
We extend Langton's valuative criterion for families of coherent algebraic sheaves to a complex analytic set-up. As a consequence we derive a set of sufficient conditions for the compactness of a moduli space of semistable sheaves over a…
We study completeness in partial differential varieties. We generalize many results from ordinary differential fields to the partial differential setting. In particular, we establish a valuative criterion for differential completeness and…
Axiomatizing mathematical structures and theories is an objective of Mathematical Logic. Some axiomatic systems are nowadays mere definitions, such as the axioms of Group Theory; but some systems are much deeper, such as the axioms of…
This contribution is the first in a series of three: it reports on the construction of (a fine sheaf of) diffeomorphism invariant Colombeau algebras on open sets of Eucildean space, which completes earlier approaches. Part II and III will…
We use model theoretic techniques to construct explicit first-order axiomatizations for the classes of posets that can be represented as systems of sets, where the order relation is given by inclusion, and existing meets and joins of…
This article is an interdisciplinary review and an on-going progress report over the last few years made by myself and collaborators in certain fundamental subjects on two major theoretic branches in mathematics and theoretical physics:…
Let $L$ be the language of rings. We provide an axiomatization of the $L$-theories of quaternions and octonions and characterize their models: they coincide, up to isomorphism, with quaternion and octonion algebras over a real closed field,…
A series of lecture notes on the elementary theory of algebraic numbers, using only knowledge of a first-semester graduate course in algebra (primarily groups and rings). No prerequisite knowledge of fields is required. Based primarily on…
This paper introduces a SAT-based technique that calculates a compact and complete symmetry-break for finite model finding, with the focus on structures with a single binary operation (magmas). Classes of algebraic structures are typically…
Clarithmetics are number theories based on computability logic (see http://www.csc.villanova.edu/~japaridz/CL/ ). Formulas of these theories represent interactive computational problems, and their "truth" is understood as existence of an…
A semi-algebraic set is a subset of the real space defined by polynomial equations and inequalities having real coefficients and is a union of finitely many maximally connected components. We consider the problem of deciding whether two…
In this paper, I develop a novel version of the multiverse theory of sets called hierarchical pluralism by introducing the notion of `degrees of intentionality' of theories. The presented view is articulated for the purpose of reconciling…
We consider the foundational relation between arithmetic and set theory. Our goal is to criticize the construction of standard arithmetic models as providing grounds for arithmetic truth (even in a relative sense). Our method is to…
We classify the computability-theoretic complexity of two index sets of classes of first-order theories: We show that the property of being an $\aleph_0$-categorical theory is $\Pi^0_3$-complete; and the property of being an Ehrenfeucht…
These are notes taken by the second author for a series of three lectures by the first author on absolute and relative Calabi-Yau completions and Calabi-Yau structures given at the workshop of the International Conference on Representations…
