We give an up-to-date perspective with a general overview of the theory of causal properties, the derived causal structures, their classification and applications, and the definition and construction of causal boundaries and of causal…
The description of the dynamics of complex systems, in particular the capture of the interaction structure and causal relationships between elements of the system, is one of the central questions of interdisciplinary research. While the…
We investigate the possibility of distinguishing among different causal relations starting from a limited set of marginals. Our main tool is the notion of adhesivity, that is, the extension of probability or entropies defined only on…
We aim to construct a formal theory of affordances seen as ternary relations. Beginning with a characterization of affordances proposed by James J. Gibson, and utilizing the tools provided by Zdzis{\l}aw Pawlak's information systems and…
We find the connection between 3-dimensional commutative algebras with a trivial trace and plane quartics and its bitangents.
We describe various properties and give several characterizations of ternary groups satisfying two axioms derived from the third Reidemeister move in knot theory. Using special attributes of such ternary groups, such as semi-commutativity,…
We introduce and study a class of betweenness algebras-Boolean algebras with binary operators, closely related to ternary frames with a betweenness relation. From various axioms for betweenness, we chose those that are most common, which…
This work reviews the understanding of the direction of time introduced by Hans Reichenbach, including the fundamental relation of the perceived flow of time to the second law of thermodynamics (i.e. the Boltzmann time hypothesis), and the…
This article is an attempt to generalize Riemann's bilinear relations on compact Riemann surface of genus at least 2, which may lead to new structures in the theory of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces. No significant result is obtained, the…
Philosophical analyses of causation take many forms but one major difficulty they all aim to address is that of the spatio-temporal continuity between causes and their effects. Bertrand Russell in 1913 brought the problem to its most…
The Barrett-Crane intertwiner for the Riemannian general relativity is systematically derived by solving the quantum Barrett-Crane constraints corresponding to a tetrahedron (except for the non-degeneracy condition). It was shown by…
The common cause completeness (CCC) is a philosophical principle that asserts that if we consider two positively correlated events then it evokes a common cause. The principle is due to H. Reichenbach and has been largely studied in Boolean…
We study a sequence of connections which is associated with a Riemannian metric and an almost symplectic structure on a manifold. We prove that if this sequence is trivial (i.e. constant) or 2-periodic, then the manifold has a canonical…
Reichenbach's Common Cause Principle claims that if there is correlation between two events and none of them is directly causally influenced by the other, then there must exist a third event that can, as a common cause, account for the…
We investigate the structure common to causal theories that attempt to explain a (part of) the world. Causality implies conservation of identity, itself a far from simple notion. It imposes strong demands on the universalizing power of the…
We consider a sequence of successively more restrictive definitions of abstraction for causal models, starting with a notion introduced by Rubenstein et al. (2017) called exact transformation that applies to probabilistic causal models,…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for two circles, each with finitely many points added inside, to be betweenness isomorphic. We fully characterize the betweenness isomorphism classes in the family consisting of all circles with…
Polynomial relations between the generators of the classical and quantum Heisenberg algebras are presented. Some of those relations can have a meaning of the formulas of the normal ordering for the creation/annihilation operators occurred…
We prove that a certain homological epimorphism between two algebras induces a triangle equivalence between their singularity categories. Applying the result to a construction of matrix algebras, we describe the singularity categories of…
We give a short Wiener measure proof of the Riemann hypothesis based on a surprising, unexpected and deep relation between the Riemann zeta $\zeta(s)$ and the trivial zeta $\zeta_{t}(s):=Im(s)(2Re(s)-1)$.
