We continue the work of [4, 2, 3], in which we discuss published assertions that are incorrect or incorrectly proven; that are severely limited or reduce to triviality; or that we improve upon.
In this paper, we give a purely cohomological interpretation of the extension problem for associative algebras; that is the problem of extending an associative algebra by another associative algebra. We then give a similar interpretation of…
Large networks are useful in a wide range of applications. Sometimes problem instances are composed of billions of entities. Decomposing and analyzing these structures helps us gain new insights about our surroundings. Even if the final…
This paper is for the proceedings of the Chen-Chow Conference held in Tianjin, China in October 2000. The goal of the paper is to produce and survey evidence for a connection between Chen's work on iterated integrals on the one hand, and…
These lecture notes from a first course in algebraic topology use the fundamental group and orbit categories to classify covering spaces.
In the Twin Towers of Hanoi version of the well known Towers of Hanoi Problem there are two coupled sets of pegs. In each move, one chooses a pair of pegs in one of the sets and performs the only possible legal transfer of a disk between…
We discuss some mistakes and curiosities concerned with the celebrated First International Topological Conference in Moscow, 1935.
This is a survey of old and new problems and results in additive number theory.
This is an edited write-up of lecture notes of the 7-th Appalachian set theory workshop of the same title led by the first named author at the Cornell University on November 22, 2008. A draft version of the notes was prepared by the second…
This volume contains the papers presented at the 1st workshop on Quantitative Formal Methods: Theory and Applications, which was held in Eindhoven on 3 November 2009 as part of the International Symposium on Formal Methods 2009. This volume…
This is an expository paper on the subject of the title. It assumes basic scheme theory, commutative and homological algebra.
An analytical approach to convolution of functions, which appear in perturbative calculations, is discussed. An extended list of integrals is presented.
This is the first chapter in our "Toric Topology" book project. Further chapters are coming. Comments and suggestions are very welcome.
We present a collection of questions related to the structure and classification of nuclear C*-algebras.
This file, provided as bibliographical information, contains the table of contents and editors' foreword from the proceedings of the July 1996 Warwick EuroConference on Algebraic Geometry.
We give a survey of algorithms for computing topological invariants of semi-algebraic sets with special emphasis on the more recent developments in designing algorithms for computing the Betti numbers of semi-algebraic sets. Aside from…
This is the second chapter in our "Toric Topology" book project. Further chapters are coming. Comments and suggestions are very welcome.
After introducing some motivations for this survey, we describe a formalism to parametrize a wide class of algebraic structures occurring naturally in various problems of topology, geometry and mathematical physics. This allows us to define…
I survey problems concerning Lindelof spaces which have partial set- theoretic solutions.
Several rigidity problems in toric topology are addressed in \cite{ma-su08}. In this paper, we survey results on those problems including recent development.
