We present a novel technique for proving program termination which introduces a new dimension of modularity. Existing techniques use the program to incrementally construct a termination proof. While the proof keeps changing, the program…
We define and study a class of subshifts of finite type (SFTs) defined by a family of allowed patterns of the same shape where, for any contents of the shape minus a corner, the number of ways to fill in the corner is the same. The main…
Suppose that a finitely generated group $G$ is hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups $\{H_1, ..., H_m\} $. We prove that if each of the subgroups $H_1, ..., H_m$ has finite asymptotic dimension, then asymptotic dimension of $G$…
We discuss the structure of topological defects in the context of extra dimensions where the symmetry breaking terms are localized. These defects develop structure in the extra dimension which differs from the case where symmetry breaking…
We develop criteria for deciding the contravariant finiteness status of a subcategory $A \subseteq \Lambda\text{-mod}$, where $\Lambda$ is a finite dimensional algebra. In particular, given a finite dimensional $\Lambda$-module $X$, we…
We study systems that approach a state possessing discrete symmetry due to different degenerate realizations for the system. For concreteness, we consider fractionally filled systems where degeneracy comes from the presence of identical…
This expository essay discusses a finite dimensional approach to dilation theory. How much of dilation theory can be worked out within the realm of linear algebra? It turns out that some interesting and simple results can be obtained. These…
We introduce the notion of pseudo-cones of metric spaces as a generalization of both of the tangent cones and the asymptotic cones. We prove that the Assouad dimension of a metric space is bounded from below by that of any pseudo-cone of…
The review considers the peculiarities of symmetry breaking and symmetry transformations and the related physical effects in finite quantum systems. Some types of symmetry in finite systems can be broken only asymptotically. However, with a…
We introduce a construction to embed a quasiperiodic lattice of obstacles into a single unit cell of a higher-dimensional space, with periodic boundary conditions. This construction transparently shows the existence of channels in these…
I introduce a family of closeness functions between causal Lorentzian geometries of finite volume and arbitrary underlying topology. When points are randomly scattered in a Lorentzian manifold, with uniform density according to the volume…
Following \cite{Visintin}, we exploit the fractional perimeter of a set to give a definition of fractal dimension for its measure theoretic boundary. We calculate the fractal dimension of sets which can be defined in a recursive way and we…
In this work we present some results from computer simulations of dynamical aspects of drop formation in a leaky faucet. Our results, which agree very well with the experiments, suggest that only a few elements, at the microscopic level,…
In open quantum systems, entanglement can vanish faster than coherence. This phenomenon is usually called sudden death of entanglement. In this paper sudden death of entanglement is discussed from a geometrical point of view, in the context…
We prove that for a finitely generated linear group G over a field of positive characteristic the family of quotients by finite subgroups has finite asymptotic dimension. We use this to show that the K-theoretic assembly map for the family…
We give a short and elementary proof of the fact that every metric space of finite asymptotic dimension can be embedded into a finite product of trees.
We prove that a transfinite extension of asymptotic dimension asind is trivial. We introduce a transfinite extension of asymptotic dimension asdim and give an example of metric proper space which has transfinite infinite dimension.
This note contains the complete mathematical proof of the main Theorem of the paper "How continuous measurements in finite dimension are actually discrete" (quant-ph/0702068), thus showing that in finite dimension any measurement with…
Let $\pi: X \to Y$ be a morphism of projective varieties and suppose that $\alpha$ is a pseudo-effective numerical cycle class satisfying $\pi_*\alpha = 0$. A conjecture of Debarre, Jiang, and Voisin predicts that $\alpha$ is a limit of…
We prove a rigidity result for Serrin's overdetermined problem in a cone that is contained in a half-space in arbitrary dimensions. In the special case where the cone is an epigraph, this result was shown previously in low dimensions with a…
