Topological defects can be formed during inflation by phase transitions as well as by quantum nucleation. We study the effect of the expansion of the Universe on the internal structure of the defects. We look for stationary solutions to the…
We study the weak values of a quantum observable from the point of view of the Wigner formalism. The main actor is here the cross-Wigner transform of two functions, which is in disguise the cross-ambiguity function familiar from radar…
Valuation based systems verifying an idempotent property are studied. A partial order is defined between the valuations giving them a lattice structure. Then, two different strategies are introduced to represent valuations: as infimum of…
A field with an absolute value function is a basic type of metric space, which includes the real and complex numbers with their standard metrics, and ultrametrics on fields like the p-adic numbers. Here we try to give some perspectives of…
Argumentation is an important topic of AI for modelling and reasoning about arguments. In abstract argumentation, we consider directed graphs, so-called argumentation frameworks (AF), that express conflicts between arguments. The semantics…
Let K be an algebraic function field of characteristic 2 with constant field C_K. Let C be the algebraic closure of a finite field in K. Assume that C has an extension of degree 2. Assume that there are elements u,x of K with u…
Argumentation is a central subarea of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for modeling and reasoning about arguments. The semantics of abstract argumentation frameworks (AFs) is given by sets of arguments (extensions) and conditions on the…
Absolute value equations, due to their relation to the linear complementarity problem, have been intensively studied recently. In this paper, we present error bounds for absolute value equations. Along with the error bounds, we introduce an…
We study exact defect $g$-functions for integrable line defects in two-dimensional integrable quantum field theory and use them to probe defect fusion. We consider three settings: fusion of purely transmitting topological defects, fusion of…
These notes form part of a joint research project on the logic of fields with many valuations, connected by a product formula. We define such structures and name them {\em globally valued fields} (GVFs). This text aims primarily at a proof…
Non-archimedean fields with restricted analytic functions may not support a full exponential function, but they always have partial exponentials defined in convex subrings. On face of this, we study the first order theory of the class of…
We classify cuts in (totally) ordered abelian groups $\g$ and compute the coinitiality and cofinality of all cuts in case $\g$ is divisible, in terms of data intrinsically associated to the invariance group of the cut. We relate cuts with…
For varifolds whose first variation is representable by integration, we introduce the notion of indecomposability with respect to locally Lipschitzian real valued functions. Unlike indecomposability, this weaker connectedness property is…
Let $p$ be a prime number and let $K$ be a finite extension of the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers. Let $N$ be a fully ramified, elementary abelian extension of $K$. Under a mild hypothesis on the extension $N/K$, we show that…
Let $k$ be a finite field. Wintenberger used the field of norms to give an equivalence between a category whose objects are totally ramified abelian $p$-adic Lie extensions $E/F$, where $F$ is a local field with residue field $k$, and a…
The logical connectives typically found in programming languages are similar to their mathematical counterparts, yet different due to their short-circuit behaviour -- when evaluating them, the second argument is only evaluated if the first…
Let $L$ be a number field. For a given prime $p$ we define integers $\alpha_{p}^{L}$ and $\beta_{p}^{L}$ with some interesting arithmetic properties. For instance, $\beta_{p}^{L}$ is equal to $1$ whenever $p$ does not ramify in $L$ and…
We introduce and study a new class of differential fields in positive characteristic. We call them separably differentially closed fields and demonstrate that they are the differential analogue of separably closed fields. We prove several…
The basic notions of category theory, such as limit, adjunction, and orthogonality, all involve assertions of the existence and uniqueness of certain arrows. Weak notions arise when one drops the uniqueness requirement and asks only for…
This work sketches the author classification of complete discrete valuation fields K of characteristic 0 with residue field of characteristic p into two classes depending on the behaviour of the torsion part of a differential module. For…
