There are compelling historical and mathematical reasons why we ended up, among others in Physics, with using the scalars given by the real or the complex numbers. Recently, however, infinitely many easy to construct and use other algebras…

We present a formalization of collections that Cornelius Castoriadis calls ``magmas'', especially the property which mainly characterizes them and distinguishes them from the usual cantorian sets. It is the property of their elements to…

Lie algebroids are by no means natural as an infinitesimal counterpart of groupoids. In this paper we propose a functorial construction called Nishimura algebroids for an infinitesimal counterpart of groupoids. Nishimura algebroids,…

We prove the result in the title. We infer, that unlike cylindric algebras, there is a first order axiomatization of the class of completely representable polyadic algebras of infinite dimension, though the one we obtain is infinite; in…

F.: Good morning Hermann, I would like to talk with you about infinitesimals. G.: Tell me Pierre. F.: I'm fed up of all these slanders about my attitude to be non rigorous, so I've started to study nonstandard analysis (NSA) and synthetic…

The geometric and algebraic theory of monomial ideals and multigraded modules is initiated over real-exponent polynomial rings and, more generally, monoid algebras for real polyhedral cones. The main results include the generalization of…

The theory of finitely supported algebraic structures represents a reformulation of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory in which every construction is finitely supported according to the action of a group of permutations of some basic elements…

The normal form for a system of ode's is constructed from its polynomial symmetries of the linear part of the system, which is assumed to be semi-simple. The symmetries are shown to have a simple structure such as invariant function times…

We propose an interpretation for the meets and joins in the lattice of experimental propositions of a physical theory, answering a question of Birkhoff and von Neumann in [1]. When the lattice is atomistic, it is isomorphic to the lattice…

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…

A module is called absolutely indecomposable if it is directly indecomposable in every generic extension of the universe. We want to show the existence of large abelian groups that are absolutely indecomposable. This will follow from a more…

In many instances in first order logic or computable algebra, classical theorems show that many problems are undecidable for general structures, but become decidable if some rigidity is imposed on the structure. For example, the set of…

This paper deals with the subject of infinitesimal variations of Euclidean submanifolds with arbitrary dimension and codimension. The main goal is to establish a Fundamental theorem for these geometric objects. Similar to the theory of…

Matrices are very popular and widely used in mathematics and other fields of science. Every mathematician has known the properties of finite-sized matrices since the time of study. In this paper, we consider the basic theory of infnite…

We introduce a very natural topology on the set of total orderings of monomials of any algebra having a countable basis over a field. This topological space and some notable subspaces are compact. This topological framework allows us to…

We generalise the construction of infinite matroids from trees of matroids to allow the matroids at the nodes, as well as the field over which they are represented, to be infinite.
