One of approaches to quantum gravity is different models of a discrete pregeometry. An example of a discrete pregeometry on a microscopic scale is introduced. This is the particular case of a causal set. The causal set is a locally finite…

We propose the assumption of quantum mechanics on a discrete space and time, which implies the modification of mathematical expressions for some postulates of quantum mechanics. In particular we have a Hilbert space where the vectors are…

We review recent efforts to construct gravitational theories on discrete space-times, usually referred to as the ``consistent discretization'' approach. The resulting theories are free of constraints at the canonical level and therefore…

How can sparse graph theory be extended to large networks, where algorithms whose running time is estimated using the number of vertices are not good enough? I address this question by introducing 'Local Separators' of graphs. Applications…

We consider the problem of discretizing one-dimensional, real-valued functions as graphs. The goal is to find a small set of points, from which we can approximate the remaining function values. The method for approximating the unknown…

We define a notion of Morse function and establish Morse theory-like theorems over offsets of any compact set in a Euclidean space at regular values of their distance function. Using non-smooth analysis and tools from geometric measure…

We construct one Yang-Mills measure on a compact surface for each isomorphism class of principal bundles over this surface. For this, we define a new discrete gauge theory which is essentially a covering of the usual one. We prove that the…

We use discrete Morse theory to give a new proof of the Degree Theorem in Auter space A_n. There is a filtration of A_n into subspaces A_{n,k} using the degree of a graph, and the Degree Theorem says that each A_{n,k} is (k-1)-connected.…
