In this paper we present a new mathematical conception based on a new method for ordering the integers. The method relies on the assumption that negative numbers are beyond infinity, which goes back to Wallis and Euler. We also present a…

This paper is concerned with Mahler's method. We study in detail the structure of linear relations between values of Mahler functions at algebraic points. In particular, given a field ${\bf k}$, a Mahler function $f(z)\in{\bf k}\{z\}$, and…

Let $\theta_3(\tau)=1+2\sum_{\nu=1}^{\infty} q^{\nu^2}$ with $q=e^{i\pi \tau}$ and $\Im (\tau)>0$ denote the Thetanullwert of the Jacobi theta function \[\theta(z|\tau) \,=\,\sum_{\nu=-\infty}^{\infty} e^{\pi i\nu^2\tau + 2\pi i\nu z} \,.\]…

In 2007, Papanikolas established that if Carlitz logarithms of algebraic functions are linearly independent over the rational function field, then they are algebraically independent. The purpose of the present paper is to provide a new…

We give a definition of some classes of boolean algebras generalizing free boolean algebras; they satisfy a universal property that certain functions extend to homomorphisms. We give a combinatorial property of generating sets of these…

We give a sufficient condition for an algebraic structure to have a computable presentation with a computable basis and a computable presentation with no computable basis. We apply the condition to differentially closed, real closed, and…

We generalize a result by Vasil'ev on the algebraic independence of periods of abelian varieties to the case when some of these periods are replaced by their exponentials. We eventually derive some applications to values of the beta…

We prove a transcendence theorem concerning values of holomorphic maps from a disk to a quasi-projective variety over $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}$ that are integral curves of some algebraic vector field (defined over $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}$).…

In this article, we establish a Liouville-type inequality for polynomials evaluated at the values of arbitrary Siegel E-functions at non-zero algebraic points. Additionally, we provide a comparable result within the framework of Mahler M…

We give an exposition of results of Baldwin-Shelah on saturated free algebras, at the level of generality of complete first order theories $T$ with a saturated model $M$ which is in the algebraic closure of an indiscernible set. We then…

We give a partial answer to a question attributed to Chris Miller on algebraic values of certain transcendental functions of order less than one. We obtain C(logH)^n bounds for the number of algebraic points of height at most H on certain…

A new algebraic treatment of dependent type theory is proposed using ideas derived from topos theory and algebraic set theory.

We generalize Gel'fond's criterion of algebraic independence to the context of a sequence of polynomials whose first derivatives take small values on large subsets of a fixed subgroup of the additive group of complex numbers, instead of…

We study real numbers defined by multidimensional automatic arrays weighted by multiplicatively independent bases. Let $a_1, \dots, a_r\geq 2$ be integers such that $\log a_1, \dots, \log a_r$ are $\mathbb Q$-linearly independent. Given…

Conditional independence and graphical models are well studied for probability distributions on product spaces. We propose a new notion of conditional independence for any measure $\Lambda$ on the punctured Euclidean space $\mathbb…

We study the properties of algebraic independence and pointwise algebraic independence in a class of continuous theories, the randomizations $T^R$ of complete first order theories $T$. If algebraic and definable closure coincide in $T$,…

We open a new field on how one can define means on infinite sets. We investigate many different ways on how such means can be constructed. One method is based on sequences of ideals, other deals with accumulation points, one uses isolated…

We prove that among 1 and the odd zeta values $\zeta(3)$, $\zeta(5)$, \ldots, $\zeta(s)$, at least $ 0.21 \sqrt{s}/\sqrt{\log s}$ are linearly independent over the rationals, for any sufficiently large odd integer $s$. This is the first…

Mahler's measure defines a dynamical system on the algebraic numbers. In this paper, we study the problem of which number fields have points which wander under the iteration of Mahler's measure. We completely solve the problem for all…

Building on work of Maltsev on locally free algebras in finite purely functional languages, we revisit the model theory of (absolutely free) term algebras and their completions. Maltsev's analysis yields a natural axiomatization together…
