Philosophers now seem to agree that frequentism is an untenable strategy to explain the meaning of probabilities. Nevertheless, I want to revive frequentism, and I will do so by grounding probabilities on typicality in the same way as the…
This is an introduction to Grothendieck's descent theory, with some stress on the general machinery of fibered categories and stacks.
A new category of algebro-geometric objects is defined. This construction is a vast generalization of existing F1-theories, as it contains the the theory of monoid schemes on the one hand and classical algebraic theory, e.g. Grothendieck…
The aim of this paper is to present a simplified version of the notion of $\infty$-groupoid developed by Grothendieck in "Pursuing Stacks" and to introduce a definition of $\infty$-categories inspired by Grothendieck's approach.
The article introduces the concept of uniformity, which is formulated as a scheme of axioms. The connection of this concept with ordered sets is studied. The effectiveness of using axiom schemes as a convenient and short way of replacing…
We give a new and conceptually simple proof of the Rickman-Picard theorem for quasiregular maps based on potential-theoretic methods.
A little general abstract combinatorial nonsense delivered in this note is a presentation of some old and basic concepts, central to discrete mathematics, in terms of new words. The treatment is from a structural and systematic point of…
We present a new and direct proof of Grothendieck's generic freeness lemma in its general form. Unlike the previously published proofs, it does not proceed in a series of reduction steps and is fully constructive, not using the axiom of…
We introduce the notion of Riemannian twistorial structure and we show that it provides new natural constructions of harmonic maps.
Grothendieck Duality -- the theory of the twisted inverse image pseudofunctor (-)^! over a suitable category of scheme-maps -- can be developed concretely, with emphasis on explicit constructions, or abstractly, with emphasis on…
Our purpose is to make a contribution to the foundation of the theory of formal scheme. We are interested particularly in non-Noetherian or non-adic formal schemes, which have been little studied. We redefine the formal scheme as a…
A power structure over a ring is a method to give sense to expressions of the form $(1+a_1t+a_2t^2+\ldots)^m$, where $a_i$, $i=1, 2,\ldots$, and $m$ are elements of the ring. The (natural) power structure over the Grothendieck ring of…
The general theory of Grothendieck categories is presented. We systemize the principle methods and results of the theory, showing how these results can be used for studying rings and modules.
In this short survey we look at a few basic features of p-adic numbers, somewhat with the point of view of a classical analyst. In particular, with p-adic numbers one has arithmetic operations and a norm, just as for real or complex…
We survey certain accessible aspects of Grothendieck's theory of motives in arithmetic algebraic geometry for mathematical physicists, focussing on areas that have recently found applications in quantum field theory. An appendix (by Matilde…
This is an introductory article to the theory of multiple gaps.
The aim of this paper is to generalize Grothendieck's theory of smooth functors in order to include within this framework the theory of fibered categories. We obtain in particular a new characterization of fibered categories.
This paper attempts to provide a more or less self-contained introduction into theory of the Grothendieck-Teichmueller group and Drinfeld associators using the theory of operads and graph complexes.
This is an expository article/encyclopedia entry explaining the history, techniques, and central results in the field of smooth ergodic theory.
In the last 30 years, the mathematical theory of aperiodic order has developed enormously. Many new tilings and properties have been discovered, few of which are covered or anticipated by the early papers and books. Here, we start from the…
