Inertial effects in non-inertial reference frames are compared with quantum properties of tests objects. The real space-time and perfect inertial reference frame can be compared accurate to the uncertainty relation. Complexities if…

An orthoset (also called an orthogonality space) is a set $X$ equipped with a symmetric and irreflexive binary relation $\perp$, called the orthogonality relation. In quantum physics, orthosets play a central role. In fact, a Hilbert space…

An orthogonality space is a set equipped with a symmetric and irreflexive binary relation. We consider orthogonality spaces with the additional property that any collection of mutually orthogonal elements gives rise to the structure of a…

In quantum theory, a measurement context is defined by an orthogonal basis in a Hilbert space, where each basis vector represents a specific measurement outcome. The precise quantitative relation between two different measurement contexts…

In this paper, we will discuss the notion of almost orthogonality in a functional sequence.Especially, we will define a few sequences of almost orthogonal polynomials which can be used successfully for modeling of electronic systems which…

We define complete Segal objects, which play the role of internal higher category objects. Then we study them using representable Cartesian fibrations, in particular defining adjunctions and limits of complete Segal objects. Finally we use…

An operational definition of contextuality is introduced which generalizes the standard notion in three ways: (1) it applies to arbitrary operational theories rather than just quantum theory, (2) it applies to arbitrary experimental…

In this article, we present what we believe to be a simple way to motivate the use of Hilbert spaces in quantum mechanics. To achieve this, we study the way the notion of dimension can, at a very primitive level, be defined as the…

Productivity is the property that finite prefixes of an infinite constructor term can be computed using a given term rewrite system. Hitherto, productivity has only been considered for orthogonal systems, where non-determinism is not…

Model theoretic internality provides conditions under which the group of automorphisms of a model over a reduct is itself a definable group. In this paper we formulate a categorical analogue of the condition of internality, and prove an…

The subject of this paper are polynomials in multiple non-commuting variables. For polynomials of this type orthogonal with respect to a state, we prove a Favard-type recursion relation. On the other hand, free Sheffer polynomials are a…

In this article, we generalize the notion of orthogonality as a linear combination of norm derivatives in order to give a novel concept that we refer to as $\rho_{\alpha,\beta}$-orthogonality. Also, we discuss some of its geometric…

Identity-homotopic self-homeomorphisms of a space of non-periodic 1-dimensional tiling are generalizations of orientation-preserving self-homeomorphisms of circles. We define the analogue of rotation numbers for such maps. In constrast to…

The theory of polynomials orthogonal with respect to one inner product is classical. We discuss the extension of this theory to multiple inner products. Examples include the Lam\'e and Heine-Stieltjes polynomials.

Sequences are often conveniently encoded in the form of a generating function depending on a formal variable. This note presents two observations that allow one to draw conclusions about the generated sequence from the generating function.…

We introduce the triangulant of two matrices, and relate it to the existence of orthogonal eigenvectors. We also use it for a new characterization of mutually unbiased bases. Generalizing the notion, we introduce higher order triangulants…

Causal spaces have recently been introduced as a measure-theoretic framework to encode the notion of causality. While it has some advantages over established frameworks, such as structural causal models, the theory is so far only developed…

We formulate a notion of "geometric reductivity" in an abstract categorical setting which we refer to as adequacy. The main theorem states that the adequacy condition implies that the ring of invariants is finitely generated. This result…
