In the absence of governing equations, dimensional analysis is a robust technique for extracting insights and finding symmetries in physical systems. Given measurement variables and parameters, the Buckingham Pi theorem provides a procedure…
In this paper, we define an invariant, which we believe should be the substitute for total K-theory in the case when there is one distinguished ideal. Moreover, some diagrams relating the new groups to the ordinary K-groups with…
This note states and proves a representation theorem for regular quantity functions, based on the theory of quantity spaces, thereby giving a new perspective on dimensional analysis and the classical $\pi$ theorem.
We present an innovative approach to dimensional analysis, referred to as augmented dimensional analysis and based on a representation theorem for complete quantity functions with a scaling-covariant scalar representation. This new theorem,…
This paper explores the concept of reparametrization invariant norm (RPI-norm), that is any norm invariant under composition with diffeomorphisms. We prove the existence of an infinite family of RPI-norms, called standard RPI-norms, for…
Lie group theory states that knowledge of a $m$-parameters solvable group of symmetries of a system of ordinary differential equations allows to reduce by $m$ the number of equation. We apply this principle by finding dilatations and…
Numerical characteristics of identities of finite-dimensional nonassociative algebras are studied. The main result is the construction of a four-dimensional simple unitary algebra with fractional PI-exponent strictly less than its…
The goal of invariant theory is to find all the generators for the algebra of representations of a group that leave the group invariant. Such generators will be called \emph{basic invariants}. In particular, we set out to find the set of…
Invariant manifolds provide the geometric structures for describing and understanding dynamics of nonlinear systems. The theory of invariant manifolds for both finite and infinite dimensional autonomous deterministic systems, and for…
Let $G(\mathbb{R})$ be a real reductive group. Suppose $\pi$ is an irreducible representation of $G(\mathbb{R})$ having a Whittaker model, and consider three invariants of $\pi$ related to nilpotents elements of the Lie algebra of $G$ (or…
The dimension datum of a closed subgroup of a compact Lie group is the sequence of invariant dimensions of irreducible representations by restriction. In this article we classify closed connected subgroups with equal dimension data or…
It is shown that a relativistic (i.e. a Poincar{\' e} invariant) theory of extended objects (called p-branes) is not necessarily invariant under reparametrizations of corresponding $p$-dimensional worldsheets (including worldlines for $p =…
A Structure Theorem for Protori is derived for the category of finite-dimensional protori(compact connected abelian groups), which details the interplay between the properties of density, discreteness, torsion, and divisibility within a…
Dimensional analysis is one of the most fundamental tools for understanding physical systems. However, the construction of dimensionless variables, as guided by the Buckingham-$\pi$ theorem, is not uniquely determined. Here, we introduce…
The coefficient algebra of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra on a finite-dimensional representation is defined as the subalgebra generated by all coefficients of the corresponding characteristic polynomial. We explore connections between…
In this article we introduce powerful tools and techniques from invariant theory to free analysis. This enables us to study free maps with involution. These maps are free noncommutative analogs of real analytic functions of several…
Within Bishop Set Theory, a reconstruction of Bishop's theory of sets, we study the so-called completely separated sets, that is sets equipped with a positive notion of an inequality, induced by a given set of real-valued functions. We…
We define inductively a sequence of purely algebraic invariants - namely, classes in the Quillen cohomology of the Pi-algebra \pi_* X - for distinguishing between different homotopy types of spaces. Another sequence of such cohomology…
We try to understand complete types over a somewhat saturated model of a complete first order theory which is dependent (previously called NIP), by "decomposition theorems for such types". Our thesis is that the picture of dependent theory…
A simple diffeomorphism invariant theory of connections with the non-compact structure group R of real numbers is quantized. The theory is defined on a four-dimensional 'space-time' by an action resembling closely the self-dual Plebanski…
