Entanglement of a macroscopic system with a microscopic one is shown to begin by a topological property of histories in the Feynman formulation of quantum mechanics. This property can also be expressed algebraically on the Schr\"odinger…
In this paper, we study some features of n-normed spaces with respect to norms of its quotient spaces. We define continuous functions with respect to the norms of its quotient spaces and show that all types of continuity are equivalent. We…
We present a new approach to simple homotopy theory of polyhedra using finite topological spaces. We define the concept of collapse of a finite space and prove that this new notion corresponds exactly to the concept of a simplicial…
In recent work, the authors developed a simple method of constructing topological spaces from certain well-behaved partially ordered sets -- those coming from sequences of relations between finite sets. This method associates a given poset…
This paper is the second in a series exploring the properties of a functor which assigns a homotopy double groupoid with connections to a Hausdorff space. We show that this functor satisfies a version of the van Kampen theorem, and so is a…
The inherent difficulty in talking about quantum decoherence in the context of quantum cosmology is that decoherence requires subsystems, and cosmology is the study of the whole Universe. Consistent histories gave a possible answer to this…
This is part II of our book on KAM theory. We start by defining functorial analysis and then switch to the particular case of Kolmogorov spaces. We develop functional calculus based on the notion of local operators. This allows to define…
We consider and characterize classes of finite and countably categorical structures and their theories preserved under $E$-operators and $P$-operators. We describe $e$-spectra and families of finite cardinalities for structures belonging to…
We explain how to see finite combinatorics of preorders implicit in the {text} of basic topological definitions or arguments in (Bourbaki, General topology, Ch.I), and define a concise combinatorial notation such that complete definitions…
Robustness is a property of system analyses, namely monotonic maps from the complete lattice of subsets of a (system's state) space to the two-point lattice. The definition of robustness requires the space to be a metric space. Robust…
Functorial semi-norms are semi-normed refinements of functors such as singular (co)homology. We investigate how different types of representability affect the (non-)triviality of finite functorial semi-norms on certain functors or classes.…
In [1] we introduced the notion of 'structured space', i.e. a space which locally resembles various algebraic structures. In [2] and [3] we studied some cohomology theories related to these space. In this paper we continue in this…
We study countable embedding-universal and homomorphism-universal structures and unify results related to both of these notions. We show that many universal and ultrahomogeneous structures allow a concise description (called here a finite…
\emph{Scalable spaces} are simply connected compact manifolds or finite complexes whose real cohomology algebra embeds in their algebra of (flat) differential forms. This is a rational homotopy invariant property and all scalable spaces are…
Infinite graphs are finitary in the sense that their points are connected via finite paths. So what would an infinitary generalization of finite graphs look like? Usually this question is answered with the aid of topology, e.g. in the case…
In this short note we confirm the deep structural correspondence between the complexity of a countable scattered chain (= strict linear order) and its big Ramsey combinatorics: we show that a countable scattered chain has finite big Ramsey…
The difficulty of explaining non-local correlations in a fixed causal structure sheds new light on the old debate on whether space and time are to be seen as fundamental. Refraining from assuming space-time as given a priori has a number of…
Coherent states provide a natural connection of quantum systems to their classical limit and are employed in various fields of physics. Here we derive general systematic expansions, with respect to quantum parameters, of expectation values…
We develop a version of Herbrand's theorem for continuous logic and use it to prove that definable functions in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces are piecewise approximable by affine functions. We obtain similar results for definable…
We prove a fixpoint theorem for contractions on Cauchy-complete quantale-enriched categories. It holds for any quantale whose underlying lattice is continuous, and applies to contractions whose control function is sequentially…
