What is the slightest modification of ZF to add a complement-axiom? The answer in my Ph.D. thesis 1971 was ZF'': Zermelo-Fraenkel with replacement for only well-founded domains and an omega-axiom. In 1974, Alonzo Church published a similar…
In this paper, we present a proof of the consistency of the New Foundations set theory ($\mathit{NF}$). $\mathit{NF}$'s main idea is to permit very large sets (including the Universal Set) by restricting set formation to stratified…
The compactness theorem for a logic states, roughly, that the satisfiability of a set of well-formed formulas can be determined from the satisfiability of its finite subsets, and vice versa. Usually, proofs of this theorem depend on the…
This paper is a generalization of a previous paper by the author to connected unipotent linear algebraic groups. The notion of an $ \alpha $-pair answers when an open $ G $-stable, affine, sub-variety $ D(H) $ is a trivial bundle over $ G…
We propose an extension of Aczel's constructive set theory CZF by an axiom for inductive types and a choice principle, and show that this extension has the following properties: it is interpretable in Martin-Lof's type theory (hence…
We investigate large set axioms defined in terms of elementary embeddings over constructive set theories, focusing on $\mathsf{IKP}$ and $\mathsf{CZF}$. Most previously studied large set axioms, notably the constructive analogues of large…
This article describes a Turing machine which can solve for $\beta^{'}$ which is RE-complete. RE-complete problems are proven to be undecidable by Turing's accepted proof on the Entscheidungsproblem. Thus, constructing a machine which…
We propose a natural theory SO axiomatizing the class of sets of ordinals in a model of ZFC set theory. Both theories possess equal logical strength. Constructibility theory in SO corresponds to a natural recursion theory on ordinals.
We examine the Zermelo Fraenkel set theory with Choice (ZFC) enhanced by one of the (structural) reflection principles down to a small cardinal and/or Recurrence Axioms defined below. The strongest forms of reflection principles spotlight…
In this paper, a generalized version of the von Neumann universe known as the total universe is proposed to formally introduce non-well-founded sets that include infinitons, semi-infinitons and quasi-infinitons in Russell's paradox. All…
We introduce a new topological generalization of the $\sigma$-projective hierarchy, not limited to Polish spaces. Earlier attempts have replaced $^{\omega}\omega$ by $^{\kappa}\kappa$, for $\kappa$ regular uncountable, or replaced countable…
The formalism of quantum theory over discrete systems is extended in two significant ways. First, quantum evolutions are generalized to act over entire network configurations, so that nodes may find themselves in a quantum superposition of…
The aim of this thesis is to give a concise introduction to homotopy type theory, to Aczel's constructive set theory and to simplicial sets and their homotopy theory in particular referring to their standard model structure, showing some of…
Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. The set $\text{F}^{r}(M)$ consisting of sequences $(f_{i})_{i\in\mathbb{Z}}$ of $C^{r}$-diffeomorphisms on $M$ can be endowed with the compact topology or with the strong topology. A notion of…
Transfinite set theory including the axiom of choice supplies the following basic theorems: (1) Mappings between infinite sets can always be completed, such that at least one of the sets is exhausted. (2) The real numbers can be well…
The most general definition of a continuous function requires that the preimage of any open set be open. Thus, to discuss continuity in the abstract, it is necessary to first define a topology, which tells us which sets in a space are open.…
Let $X$ be an arbitrary set. Then a topology $t$ on $X$ is said to be completely useful if every upper semicontinuous linear (total) preorder $\precsim$ on $X$ can be represented by an upper semicontinuous real-valued order preserving…
Systems displaying quantum topological order feature robust characteristics that are very attractive to quantum computing schemes. Topological quantum field theories have proven to be powerful in capturing the quintessential attributes of…
Let $K$ be a field. The \'etale open topology on the $K$-points $V(K)$ of a $K$-variety $V$ was introduced in our previous work. The \'etale open topology is non-discrete if and only if $K$ is large. If $K$ is separably, real, $p$-adically…
We consider the foundational relation between arithmetic and set theory. Our goal is to criticize the construction of standard arithmetic models as providing grounds for arithmetic truth (even in a relative sense). Our method is to…
