In Chapter 1 we give the basic background and notations. We also give a new characterization of the Conrad property for orderings. In Chapter 2, we use the new characterization of the Conradian property to give a classification of groups…
In this article, we introduce the logarithmic de Rham stack of a pair (X, D), for a smooth variety X over a field k of positive characteristic p, and D a strict normal crossings divisor on X. Using this stack, we prove a new version of…
We establish compatibility of Lie structures that appear in homotopy calculus of functors and isotopy calculus of embeddings. On one hand, we give a new proof of the Johnson--Arone--Mahowald result describing the layers of the Goodwillie…
G\"odel's second incompleteness theorem is proved for Herbrand consistency of some arithmetical theories with bounded induction, by using a technique of logarithmic shrinking the witnesses of bounded formulas, due to Z. Adamowicz [Herbrand…
We recast Euclid's proof of the infinitude of prime numbers as a Euclidean Criterion for a domain to have infinitely many atoms. We make connections with Furstenberg's "topological" proof of the infinitude of prime numbers and show that our…
Constant rank theorems are obtained for saddle solutions to the special Lagrangian equation and the quadratic Hessian equation. The argument also leads to Liouville type results for the special Lagrangian equation with subcritical phase,…
Revised proofs of Kenneth Arrow's impossibility theorem have been presented in prose form, incorporating novel ideas such as decisive sets and pivotal voters. This study develops another approach to proving the theorem. Using a proof…
In this note, we give a simple proof that the Riemann Hypothesis is unprovable in any reasonable axiom system.
A second order finite-difference equation has two linearly independent solutions. It is shown here that, like in the continuous case, at most one of the two can be a polynomial solution. The uniqueness in the classical continuous…
In this two-part paper, we review, and then develop, the assessment of the hole argument for general relativity. This first Part reviews the literature hitherto, focussing on the philosophical aspects. It also introduces two main ideas we…
We describe an error in the proof of a key proposition, which was necessary for the proof of the main result. Alternate proofs of the main result are given by Ozsvath-Stipsicz-Szabo and Dai-Hom-Stoffregen-Truong.
We prove that the product of any two infinite countable groups has fixed price one. This resolves a longstanding problem posed by Gaboriau. The proof uses the propagation method to construct a Poisson horoball process as a weak limit of a…
We introduce a powerful connection between Ehrhart theory and additive number theory, and use it to produce infinitely many new classes of inequalities between the coefficients of the $h^*$-polynomial of a lattice polytope. This greatly…
The goal of this notice is to present a proof of Bachet's conjecture based exclusively on the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. The novelty of this proof consists in its introduction of a partial order on rational integers through the…
We apply an inductive argument to three theorems of Cantor on (1) the uncountability of infinite binary sequences, (2) the uncountability of real numbers, and (3) the non-equinumerosity of sets with their powersets. This technique proves…
The First and Second Liouville's Theorems provide correspondingly criterium for integrability of elementary functions "in finite terms" and criterium for solvability of second order linear differential equations by quadratures. The…
The existence of a (p-)optimal propositional proof system is a major open question in (proof) complexity; many people conjecture that such systems do not exist. Krajicek and Pudlak (1989) show that this question is equivalent to the…
In the present work we prove a number of surprising results about gaps between consecutive primes and arithmetic progressions in the sequence of generalized twin primes which could not have been proven without the recent fantastic…
A fundamental result that characterizes elliptic-hyperbolic equations of Tricomi type, the uniqueness of classical solutions to the open Dirichlet problem, is extended to a large class of elliptic-hyperbolic equations of Keldysh type. The…
We show that Sturm's classical separation theorem on the interlacing of the zeros of linearly independent solutions of real second order two-term ordinary differential equations necessarily fails in the presence of a unique turning point in…
