This text tries to give an elementary introduction to the mathematical properties of infinite sets. The aim is to keep the approach as simple as possible. Advanced knowledge of mathematics is not necessary for a proper understanding, and…
In this article we consider alternative definitions-descriptions of a set being Infinite within the primitive Axiomatic System of Zermelo.
These are expanded notes of four introductory talks on A-infinity algebras, their modules and their derived categories.
Contrary to popular misconception, the question in the title is far from simple. It involves sets of numbers on the first level, sets of sets of numbers on the second level, and so on, endlessly. The infinite hierarchy of the levels…
The notions of potential infinity (understood as expressing a direction) and actual infinity (expressing a quantity) are investigated. It is shown that the notion of actual infinity is inconsistent, because the set of all (finite) natural…
Many mathematical statements have the following form. If something is true for all finite subsets of an infinite set $I$, then it is true for all of $I$. This paper describes some old and new results on infinite sets of linear and…
Actual infinity in its various forms is discussed, searched and not found.
The infinite numbers of the set M of finite and infinite natural numbers are defined starting from the sequence 0\Phi, where 0 is the first natural number, \Phi is a succession of symbols S and xS is the successor of the natural number x.…
The First Hilbert problem is studied in this paper by applying two instruments: a new methodology distinguishing between mathematical objects and mathematical languages used to describe these objects; and a new numeral system allowing one…
In which a review of the concept of countability is done in mathematics, subjecting review some of the theorems so far accepted, showing their inconsistency and also taking concrete elements on the countability of all the powers of the set…
This paper describes infinite sets of polynomial equations in infinitely many variables with the property that the existence of a solution or even an approximate solution for every finite subset of the equations implies the existence of a…
Formal languages are sets of strings of symbols described by a set of rules specific to them. In this note, we discuss a certain class of formal languages, called regular languages, and put forward some elementary results. The properties of…
This contribution is a technical description of details for implementing infinite elements. The novelty is the closed, analytic form used for most quantities.
In this paper we introduce the concept of completeness of sets. We study this property on the set of integers. We examine how this property is preserved as we carry out various operations compatible with sets. We also introduce the problem…
Metaphysical interpretations of set theory are either inconsistent or incoherent. The uses of sets in mathematics actually involve three distinct kinds of collections (surveyable, definite, and heuristic), which are governed by three…
Infinite sequences are considered in the framework of classical logic from a new point of view.
This brief note, written for non-specialists, aims at drawing an introductive overview of the multiverse issue.
In our previous articles ("The Information and the Matter", v1, v5; more systematically the informational conception is presented in arXiv paper "The Information as Absolute", 2010) it was rigorously shown that the Matter is some…
This text consists on a series of introductory lectures on cosmology for mathematicians and physicists who are not specialized on the subject.
We study convergence almost everywhere of sequences of Schr\"odinger means. We also replace sequences by uncountable sets.
