The classical theory of free analysis generalizes the noncommutative (nc) polynomials and rational functions, easily providing such results as an nc analogue of the Jacobian conjecture. However, the classical theory misses out on important…

We present a unified algebraic framework utilizing the formal Bell transform to bridge the Dirichlet convolution of arithmetic functions with the combinatorial structure of infinite Euler-type products. By analyzing the logarithmic…

Ongoing work in quantum information emphasises the need for a structural understanding of quantum speedups: in this work, we focus on the quantum Fourier transform and the structures in quantum theory that enable it. We elucidate a general…

1. This paper shows how the universals of category theory in mathematics provide a model (in the Platonic Heaven of mathematics) for the self-predicative strand of Plato's Theory of Forms as well as for the idea of a "concrete universal" in…

The predictions of the standard model of particle physics are highly successful in spite of the fact that several parts of the underlying quantum field theoretical framework are analytically problematic. Indeed, it has long been suggested,…

We give an introduction to constructive category theory by answering two guiding computational questions. The first question is: how do we compute the set of all natural transformations between two finitely presented functors like…

The Legendre transform (LET) is a product of a general duality principle: any smooth curve is, on the one hand, a locus of pairs, which satisfy the given equation and, on the other hand, an envelope of a family of its tangent lines. An…

The Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (or WDVV) equations, as one would expect from an integrable system, has many symmetries, both continuous and discrete. One class - the so-called Legendre transformations - were introduced by Dubrovin.…

Let M be a transitive model of set theory. There is a canonical interpretation functor between the category of regular Hausdorff, continuous open images of Cech-complete spaces of M and the same category in V, preserving many concepts of…

In the generalized Legendre transform construction the Kaehler potential is related to a particular function. Here, the form of this function appropriate to the monopole metric is calculated from the known twistor theory of monopoles.

We characterize virtual double categories of enriched categories, functors, and profunctors by introducing a new notion of double-categorical colimits. Our characterization is strict in the sense that it is up to equivalence between virtual…

We propose a conjectural extension to positive characteristic case of a well known Deligne's theorem on the existence of super fiber functors. We prove our conjecture in the special case of semisimple categories with finitely many…
