Additive combinatorics is built around the famous theorem by Szemer\'edi which asserts existence of arithmetic progressions of any length among the integers. There exist several different proofs of the theorem based on very different…
The main ambition of this thesis is to contribute to the development of cooperative game theory towards combinatorics, algorithmics and discrete geometry. Therefore, the first chapter of this manuscript is devoted to highlighting the…
This is a write-up of some lectures I gave in the Fall of 2021 at the Fields Institute in Toronto, as part of the Thematic Programme on Trends in Pure and Applied Model Theory. The goal of the module was to give a quick introduction to the…
These notes are based on the mini-course given in June 2004 in Cetraro, Italy, in the frame of a C.I.M.E. school. Of course, they contain much more material that I could present in the 6 hours course. The main goal is to give an idea of the…
This is a write up on some sections of convex geometry, functional analysis, optimization, and nonstandard models that attract the author.
This paper is an expanded version of a talk given at the Current Developments in Mathematics Conference last November (2002) on the work of Wilfred Schmid on periods of limits of Hodge structures. The paper begins with an exposition of the…
This work has a methodological nature and is a set of lecture notes for undergraduate students. It is devoted to the study of the basic tools of quantum field theory on the example of the simplest cubic "toy" model. We introduce such…
During the last ten years, increasing efforts were made to improve and simplify the process from Computer Aided Design (CAD) modeling to a numerical simulation. It has been shown that the transition from one model to another, i.e. the…
We study countable embedding-universal and homomorphism-universal structures and unify results related to both of these notions. We show that many universal and ultrahomogeneous structures allow a concise description (called here a finite…
This paper aims to count arbitrary objects in images. The leading counting approaches start from point annotations per object from which they construct density maps. Then, their training objective transforms input images to density maps…
These are extended lecture notes of the quantum mechanics course which I am teaching in the Weizmann Institute of Science graduate physics program. They cover the topics listed below. The first four chapter are posted here. Their content is…
In this very short and sketchy chapter, we draw some pictures on the arithmetic theory of $\mathbb{F}_1$.
This essay contains three parts. The first part of essay focuses on the hypothesis of the functional semantic constructions (FSC-Hypothesis). This hypothesis explains that a language, a number, a money are the functional semantic…
This book intends to give the main definitions and theorems in mathematics which could be useful for workers in theoretical physics. It gives an extensive and precise coverage of the subjects which are addressed, in a consistent and…
We introduce a new class of abstract structures, which we call generalized ultrametric semilattices, and in which the meet operation of the semilattice coexists with a generalized distance function in a tightly coordinated way. We prove a…
We study Hilbert functions of certain non-reduced schemes A supported at finite sets of points in projective space, in particular, fat point schemes. We give combinatorially defined upper and lower bounds for the Hilbert function of A using…
On June 5, 2007 the second author delivered a talk at the Journees de l'Institut Elie Cartan entitled "Finite symmetry groups in complex geometry". This paper begins with an expanded version of that talk which, in the spirit of the…
The first part of this work consists of a study of the ODE/IM correspondence for simply-laced affine Toda field theories. It is a first step towards a full generalisation of the results of Lukyanov and Zamolodchikov on $\hat{\mathfrak a}_1$…
Heaps of pieces were introduced by Viennot and have applications to algebraic combinatorics, theoretical computer science and statistical physics. In this paper, we how certain combinatorial properties of heaps studied by Fan and by…
This is the first in a series of three papers on Algebraic Set Theory. Its main purpose is to lay the necessary groundwork for the next two parts, one on Realisability and the other on Sheaf Models in Algebraic Set Theory.
