Reinhard Werner authored a comment on my paper "What Bell Did", disputing the conclusion and argumentation of the paper. This is my reply.

We briefly remind references and arguments, already discussed in the past, which confute erroneous claims in arXiv:1210.5501.

We give a new proof of the existence of designs, which is much shorter and gives better bounds.

The above hep-th posting purports -- erroneously -- to be a comment on a Note by me in gr-qc.

This paper shows that the main features of Turing's thesis derived from those of the expression system (Turing machines) it inaugures, and in particular its conformity. The notions of inaugural statements and texts are defined and…

We discuss three candidate scenarios which seem to allow the possibility that the universe could have existed forever with no initial singularity: eternal infation, cyclic evolution, and the emergent universe. The first two of these…

We respond to invalid criticism in the recent Comment by Schneider et al. [arXiv:1407.4127v1]

Some observations on the Wu-Sprung potential.

In this paper, we will continue the investigation of Waring's problem, and give further improvements.

This paper collects some problems that I have encountered during the years, have puzzled me and which, to the best of my knowledge, are still open. Most of them are well-known and have been first stated by other authors. In this sad season…

In this note we provide a simple formula of general term of recurrent sequence.

The article is an historical overview of some of the major contributions from different areas of Science with which, for centuries, it has been built up a scientific, sound and consistent vision of the atom. Some experiments that led us to…

This paper is a set of notes that we wrote concerning the first version of Emergent Gravity [gr-qc/0602022]. It is our version of an exercise that we proposed to some of our students. The idea was to find mathematical errors and…

We prove some extensions of Andrews inequality.

This is a short addendum to a note of Beauville on the subject of the title. We prove an inequality that takes into account the constant part of the Jacobian.

In this note some philosophical thoughts and observations about mathematics are expressed, arranged as challenges to some common claims.

In this note we answer the two questions raised by Y.Y Li and L. Nguyen in their note [LN2] below.

The topological index of a surface was previously introduced by the first author as the topological analogue of the index of an unstable minimal surface. Here we show that surfaces of arbitrarily high topological index exist.

This is a manuscript to be published as a book chapter. The text summarizes some of my critics concerning Everett's theory as seen from the perspective of a Bohmian. This is the second draft and comments are still welcome.
