We introduce here a new axiomatisation of the rational fragment of the ZX-calculus, a diagrammatic language for quantum mechanics. Compared to the previous axiomatisation introduced in [8], our axiomatisation does not use any metarule , but…
We prove that infinite p-adically discrete sets have Diophantine definitions in large subrings of some number fields. First, if K is a totally real number field or a totally complex degree-2 extension of a totally real number field, then…
We study totally positive definite quadratic forms over the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ of a totally real biquadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{m}, \sqrt{s})$. We restrict our attention to classical forms (i.e., those with all…
We consider the model-theoretic Grothendieck ring of definable sets in ordered abelian groups. It is well-known that $\mathrm{K} \mathbb{Q} \cong \mathbb{Z}[T]/(T^2 + T)$ and $\mathrm{K} \mathbb{Z} =0$, but surprisingly little is known…
We define the finite number ring ${\Bbb Z}_n [\sqrt [m] r]$ where $m,n$ are positive integers and $r$ in an integer akin to the definition of the Gaussian integer ${\Bbb Z}[i]$. This idea is also introduced briefly in [7]. By definition,…
A universal word for a finite alphabet $A$ and some integer $n\geq 1$ is a word over $A$ such that every word in $A^n$ appears exactly once as a subword (cyclically or linearly). It is well-known and easy to prove that universal words exist…
We discuss definability of henselian valuation rings in the Macintyre language $\mathcal{L}_{\rm Mac}$, the language of rings expanded by n-th power predicates. In particular, we show that henselian valuation rings with finite or Hilbertian…
Suppose $n$ is the fundamental discriminant associated with a quadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that for every Diophantine $m$-tuple $ \{t_1, t_2, \ldots, t_m\} $ with the property $ D(n) $, there exists integral ideals $…
Explicit expressions for the generators of the quantum superalgebra $U_q[gl(n/m)]$ acting on a class of irreducible representations are given. The class under consideration consists of all essentially typical representations: for these a…
From the original PREFACE: The rings of quotients recently introduced by Johnson and Utumi are applied to the ring $C(X)$ of all continuous real-valued functions on a completely regular space $X$. Let $Q(X)$ denote the maximal ring of…
In this paper we prove that all irrational numbers from totally real cubic number fields are well approximable by rationals (i.e. the partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of such a number are unbounded). This settles the…
We employ an algebraic procedure based on quantum mechanics to propose a `quantum number theory' (QNT) as a possible extension of the `classical number theory'. We built our QNT by defining pure quantum number operators ($q$-numbers) of a…
Let $K:=\mathbb{Q}(G)$ be the number field generated by the complex character values of a finite group $G$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_K$ be the ring of integers of $K$. In this paper we investigate the suborder $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ of $\mathbb{Z}_K$…
Except for a limited number of cases, a complete classification of the Diophantine sets of polynomial rings and fields of rational functions seems out of reach at present. We contribute to this problem by proving that several natural sets…
In this paper, we establish the explicit lower bound estimates for the rank of universal quadratic forms in some certain families of real cubic fields under the condition of density one. The more general results that represent all multiples…
Using a general $q$-series expansion, we derive some nontrivial $q$-formulas involving many infinite products. A multitude of Hecke--type series identities are derived. Some general formulas for sums of any number of squares are given. A…
The problem of infinities in quantum field theory (QRT) is a long standing problem in physics.For solving this problem, different renormalization techniques have been suggested but the problem still persists. Here we suggest another…
We show that the field of rational numbers is not definable by a universal formula in Zilber's pseudo-exponential field.
One measure of the complexity of a first-order theory, and similarly a type, is the complexity of the formulas required to axiomatize it. We say a theory is bounded if there is an axiomatization involving only $\forall_n$-formulas for some…
A quadratic form over a non-archimedian local field of characteristic zero $F$ is called universal if it is integral and it represents all non-zero integers of $F$. Xu Fei and Zhang Yang determined all universal quadratic forms in the case…
