We derive new, sharp lower bounds for certain curvature functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics of a smooth compact 4-manifold with a non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariant. These allow one, for example, to exactly compute the infimum…
In this paper a generalization of Urysohn's metrization theorem is given for higher cardinals. Namely, it is shown that a topological space with a basis of cardinality at most $|\omega_\mu|$ or smaller is $\omega_\mu$-metrizable if and only…
We clarify the relationship between unimodulariy in the sense of Hrushovski and measurability in the sense of Macpherson and Steinhorn, correcting some statements in the literature. In particular we point out that the notions coincide for…
Many optimization problems admit a number of local optima, among which there is the global optimum. For these problems, various heuristic optimization methods have been proposed. Comparing the results of these solvers requires the…
There has not been an established mathematical measure of evidence. Some Bayesians have argued that probability can be an objectively correct measure of ``rational degrees of belief,'' which we do not distinguish from evidence. However,…
We define a one-parameter family of canonical volume measures on Lorentzian (pre-)length spaces. In the Lorentzian setting, this allows us to define a geometric dimension - akin to the Hausdorff dimension for metric spaces - that…
We use Pesin theory to study possible equilibrium measures for piecewise monotone maps of the interval. The maps may have unbounded derivative.
In a previous paper, we studied certain sequences of simultaneous rational approximations in ${\bf R}^2$ which present some analogy with the continued fractions. We got results around the Littlewood conjecture by using such approximations.…
Eigenfunctions are shown to constitute privileged coordinates of self-dual Einstein spaces with the underlying governing equation being revealed as the general heavenly equation. The formalism developed here may be used to link…
This paper is devoted to heuristic aspects of the so-called idempotent calculus. There is a correspondence between important, useful and interesting constructions and results over the field of real (or complex) numbers and similar…
Algebraic theories, sometimes called equational theories, are syntactic notions given by finitary operations and equations, such as monoids, groups, and rings. There is a well-known category-theoretic treatment of them that algebraic…
Let $p\in(1,\infty)$ and $q\in[1,\infty)$. In this article, the authors characterize the Triebel-Lizorkin space ${F}^\alpha_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with smoothness order $\alpha\in(0,2)$ via the Lusin-area function and the…
The aim of this paper is twofold: First, to present an examination of the principles underlying gauge field theories. I shall argue that there are two principles directly connected to the two well-known theorems of Emmy Noether concerning…
A notable feature of the TTE approach to computability is the representation of the argument values and the corresponding function values by means of infinitistic names. Two ways to eliminate the using of such names in certain cases are…
General characterizations of physical measurements are discussed within the framework of the classical information theory. The uncertainty relation for simultaneous measurements of two physical observables is defined in this framework for…
The edge-of-the-wedge theorem in several complex variables gives the analytic continuation of functions defined on the poly upper half plane and the poly lower half plane, the set of points in $\mathbb{C}^d$ with all coordinates in the…
We give a simple and physically intuitive necessary and sufficient condition for a map acting on a compact metric space to be mixing (i.e. infinitely many applications of the map transfer any input into a fixed convergency point). This is a…
The principles of energy, symmetry, entropy, and causality conservation are discussed in a "Tetrahedron Model" of a conceptually complete "T.O.E.:" "The charges of matter are the symmetry debts of light" (Noether's Theorem). Symmetry debts…
There are many four vertex type theorems appearing in the literature, coming in both smooth and discrete flavors. The most familiar of these is the classical theorem in differential geometry, which states that the curvature function of a…
The main goal of this work is to give new and precise generalizations to various classes of plurisubharmonic functions of the classical minimum modulus principle for holomorphic functions of one complex variable, in the spirit of the famous…
