We consider the question of counting the degrees of freedom in theoretical models, with an emphasis on theories of fields and gravity. Among the possible approaches, the Hamiltonian formulation remains one of the most systematic and robust…

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…

For information-theoretic quantities with an asymptotic operational characterization, the question arises whether an alternative single-shot characterization exists, possibly including an optimization over an ancilla system. If the…

In this paper, we estimate the linear independence measures for the values of a class Mahler functions of degree one and two. For the purpose, we study the determinants of suitable Hermite-Pad\'{e} approximation polynomials. Based on the…

Let $\mathfrak g$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra. We define what it means for a finite dimensional representation of $\mathfrak g$ to be rectangular and completely classify faithful rectangular representations. As an application, we…

We give a new and simple proof of a theorem of Garza estimating the height (or Mahler measure) of an algebraic number with real conjugates.

In order to better understand the structure of classical rings of invariants for binary forms, Dixmier proposed, as a conjectural homogeneous system of parameters, an explicit collection of invariants previously studied by Hilbert. We…

We introduce an algebraicity criteria. It has the following form: under certain conditions, an analytic subvariety of some algebriac variety over a global field $K$, if it contains many $K$-points, then it is algebraic over $K.$ This gives…

The method of brackets is an efficient method for the evaluation of a large class of definite integrals on the half-line. It is based on a small collection of rules, some of which are heuristic. The extension discussed here is based on the…

We establish a bijection between marginal independence models on $n$ random variables and split closed order ideals in the poset of partial set partitions. We also establish that every discrete marginal independence model is toric in cdf…

We investigate the notion of independence, which is at the basis of many, seemingly unrelated, properties of logic like Rational Monotony in non-monotonic logics, and interpolation theorems.

We show that for both the unary relation of transcendence and the finitary relation of algebraic independence on a field, the degree spectra of these relations may consist of any single computably enumerable Turing degree, or of those c.e.…

We prove linear independence results for values of (a certain class of) q-hypergeometric series in a quantitative form.

In this paper, we study arbitrary (not necessarily associative) 3-dimensional algebras. Such an algebra A is determined by a basis and the corresponding multiplication table, which is specified by 27 structure constants. We describe all…

We identify many new solvable subcases of the general dynamical system characterized by two autonomous first-order ordinary differential equations with purely quadratic right-hand sides; the solvable character of these dynamical systems…

We review the progress made on bounding the number of independent sets in $d$-regular and irregular graphs over the last 31 years. We particularly focus on contributions from Kahn, Zhao, and Sah et al. in incrementally proving stronger and…

We develop a notion of causal order on a generic manifold as independent of the underlying differential and topological structure. We show that sufficiently regular causal orders can be recovered from a distinguished algebra of sets, which…

For a given ring (domain) in $\overline{\mathbb{R}}^n$ we discuss whether its boundary components can be separated by an annular ring with modulus nearly equal to that of the given ring. In particular, we show that, for all $n\ge 3\,,$ the…

We introduce a one-parameter family of series associated to the Riemann $\zeta$-function and prove that the values of the elements of this family at integers are linearly independent over the rationals for almost all values of the…

We prove necessary optimality conditions of Euler-Lagrange type for generalized problems of the calculus of variations on time scales with a Lagrangian depending not only on the independent variable, an unknown function and its delta…
