We show that $\mathbf{C}$, a weak theory of sets with Axiom Beta, proves the scheme of Elementary, or $\Delta_0$ Transfinite Recursion and can generate, for every set, the corresponding relativized constructible hierarchy. We show that the…
Suppose l=2m+1, m>0. We introduce m "theta-series", [1],...,[m], in Z/2[[x]]. It has been conjectured that the n for which the coefficient of x^n in 1/[i] is 1 form a set of density 0. This is probably always false, but in certain cases,…
We give a framework to produce constructible functions from natural functors between categories, without need of a morphism of moduli spaces to model the functor. We show using the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence that any natural (derived)…
A new number system, the set of the non-Dedekindian numbers, is introduced and characterized axiomatically. It is then proved that any hypercontinous hyperreal number system is strictly included in the set of the Non-Dedekindian Numbers.…
Let $M$ be a compact hyperkaehler manifold. The hyperkaehler structure equips $M$ with a set $R$ of complex structures parametrized by $CP^1$, called "the set of induced complex structures". It was known previously that induced complex…
We define a notion of entropy for an infinite family $\mathcal{C}$ of measurable sets in a probability space. We show that the mean ergodic theorem holds uniformly for $\mathcal{C}$ under every ergodic transformation if and only if…
In this paper we examine a number of term rewriting system for integer number representations, building further upon the datatype defining systems described in [2]. In particular, we look at automated methods for proving confluence and…
A well-known theorem of Lagrange asserts that every nonnegative integer $n$ can be written in the form $a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2$, where $a,b,c,d \in \mathbb{Z}$. We characterize the values assumed by $a+b+c+d$ as we range over all such…
To any finite ordered subset and any finite partition of a group a set of tuples of positive integers, named as configurations, is associated that describes the group's behavior. The present paper provides an exposition of this notion and…
An AIA formula is one of the form 'A implies B' where A and B are purely universal. Up to a simple reduction AIA formula are both EA and AE. In an earlier paper Solovay, Harrison and I proved the undecidability of validity for the AIA…
Given a barrier $0 \leq b_0 \leq b_1 \leq ...$, let $f(n)$ be the number of nondecreasing integer sequences $0 \leq a_0 \leq a_1 \leq ... \leq a_n$ for which $a_j \leq b_j$ for all $0 \leq j \leq n$. Known formul\ae for $f(n)$ include an $n…
We will describe an algorithm to arrange all the positive and negative integer numbers. This array of numbers permits grouping them in six different Classes, $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$, $\delta$, $\epsilon$, and $\zeta$. Particularly,…
Theories of classification distinguish classes with some good structure theorem from those for which none is possible. Some classes (dense linear orders, for instance) are non-classifiable in general, but are classifiable when we consider…
In this article we describe all possible infinite linear configurations that can be found in a shift of any set of positive upper Banach density. This simultaneously generalizes Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions and the…
Given a set A of non-negative integers and a set B of positive integers,we are interested in computing all sets C (of positive integers) that are minimal in the family of sets K (of positive integers) such that (i) K contains no elements…
Shnirel'man's inequality and Shnirel'man's basis theorem are fundamental results about sums of sets of positive integers in additive number theory. It is proved that these results are inherently order-theoretic and extend to partially…
For any given finite abelian group, we give factorizations of the group determinant in the group algebra of any subgroup. The factorizations are an extension of Dedekind's theorem. The extension leads to a generalization of Dedekind's…
We present a unified theory for formal mathematical systems including recursive systems closely related to formal grammars, including the predicate calculus as well as a formal induction principle. We introduce recursive systems generating…
Families of unconditionally $\tau$-closed and $\tau$-algebraic sets in a group are defined, which are natural generalizations of unconditionally closed and algebraic sets defined by Markov. A sufficient condition for the coincidence of…
Axiomatizing mathematical structures and theories is an objective of Mathematical Logic. Some axiomatic systems are nowadays mere definitions, such as the axioms of Group Theory; but some systems are much deeper, such as the axioms of…
