Many effective field theories describing gravity cannot arise from an underlying theory based on Riemann geometry or its extensions to include torsion and nonmetricity but may instead emerge from another geometry or may have a nongeometric…

We define and study expansion problems on countable structures in the setting of descriptive combinatorics. We consider both expansions on countable Borel equivalence relations and on countable groups, in the Borel, measure and category…

Following Hopkins and Singer, we give a definition for the differential equivariant K-theory of a smooth manifold acted upon by a finite group. The ring structure for differential equivariant K-theory is developed explicitly. We also…

The theory of regular variation, in its Karamata and Bojani\'c-Karamata/de Haan forms, is long established and makes essential use of homomorphisms. Both forms are subsumed within the recent theory of Beurling regular variation, developed…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero. By using Hironaka's desingularisation theorem, we prove an extension criterion for a functor defined on nonsingular k-schemes and taking values on a category of complexes. Roughly speaking, the…

Recently a new type of central limit theorem for belief functions was given in Epstein et al. [9]. In this paper, we generalize the central limit theorem in Epstein et al. [9] to accommodate general bounded random variables. These results…

Nous \'etendons aux courbes de genre arbitraire le th\'eor\`eme de rationalit\'e de Cantor, lui-m\^eme une extension de th\'eor\`emes de Borel, P\'olya, Dwork, Bertrandias et Robinson. La d\'emonstration s'effectue en deux \'etapes. La…

The purpose of this paper is to give a selective survey on recent progress in random metric theory and its applications to conditional risk measures. This paper includes eight sections. Section 1 is a longer introduction, which gives a…

We unravel a deep connection between limits of real numbers and limits in category theory. Using a new variant of the classical characterisation of the real numbers, we characterise the category of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and…

We study the limit behavior of weighted Bergman kernels on a sequence of domains in a complex space $\mathbb{C}^N$, and show that under some conditions on domains and weights, weighed Bergman kernels converge uniformly on compact sets. Then…

We consider a combinatorial problem occurring naturally in a group theoretical setting and provide a constructive solution in a special case. More precisely, in 1999 the author established a logarithmic bound for the derived length of the…

Let K \subset L be a field extension. Given K-subspaces A,B of L, we study the subspace spanned by the product set AB = {ab | a \in A, b \in B}. We obtain some lower bounds on the dimension of this subspace and on dim B^n in terms of dim A,…

We show that every small model category that satisfies certain size conditions can be completed to yield a combinatorial model category, and conversely, every combinatorial model category arises in this way. We will also see that these…

We introduce a method for associating a chain complex to a module over a combinatorial category, such that if the complex is exact then the module has a rational Hilbert series. We prove homology--vanishing theorems for these complexes for…

H. Furstenberg introduced the notion of central set in terms of topological dynamics and established the central set theorem. The essence of central set theorem is that it is the simultaneous extension of van der Waerden's theorem and…

Our results can be viewed as applications of algebraic combinatorics in random matrix theory. These applications are motivated by the predictive power of random matrix theory for the statistical behavior of the celebrated Riemann…

Recent results of Hindman, Leader and Strauss and of Fern\'andez-Bret\'on and Rinot showed that natural versions of Hindman's Theorem fail {\em for all} uncontable cardinals. On the other hand, Komj\'ath proved a result in the positive…

Darmon points on p-adic tori and Jacobians of Shimura curves over Q were introduced in previous joint works with Rotger as generalizations of Darmon's Stark-Heegner points. In this article we study the algebraicity over extensions of a real…

We provide theorems containnig both Kakutani and Browder fixed points theorems as immediate corollaries, as well as Michael and Browder selection theorems. For this purpose we introduce convex structures more general than those of locally…

A dilute gas of hard disks confined between two straight parallel lines is considered. The distance between the two boundaries is in between one and two particle diameters, so that the system is quasi-one-dimensional. A Boltzmann-like…
