Hemaspaandra, Hempel, and Wechsung [cs.CC/9909020] initiated the field of query order, which studies the ways in which computational power is affected by the order in which information sources are accessed. The present paper studies, for…

A natural partial order on the set of prime numbers was derived by the author from the internal symmetries of the primary finite fields, independently of Ford a.a., who investigated Pratt trees for primality tests. It leads to a…

The arithmetic of the natural numbers can be extended to arithmetic operations on planar binary trees. This gives rise to a non-commutative arithmetic theory. In this exposition, we describe this arithmetree, first defined by Loday, and…

We show that all spin groups of non-definite, quinary quadratic forms over a field with characteristic 0 can be represented as 2 by 2 matrices with entries in an associated quaternion algebra. Over local and global fields, we further study…

For every natural number $m$, the existentially closed models of the theory of fields with $m$ commuting derivations can be given a first-order geometric characterization in several ways. In particular, the theory of these differential…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$ and let $A^{\vee}$ be the dual abelian variety. For an odd prime $p$, we consider two Selmer groups attached to $A[p]$ and relate the orders of these groups along with those of…

The space of unordered configurations of distinct points in the plane is aspherical, with Artin's braid group as its fundamental group. Remarkably enough, the space of ordered configurations of distinct points on the real projective line,…

In this paper a class of conformal field theories with nonabelian and discrete group of symmetry is investigated. These theories are realized in terms of free scalar fields starting from the simple $b-c$ systems and scalar fields on…

Sofic and hyperlinear groups are the countable discrete groups that can be approximated in a suitable sense by finite symmetric groups and groups of unitary matrices. These notions turned out to be very deep and fruitful, and stimulated in…

General Lagrangian theory of even and odd fields on an arbitrary smooth manifold is considered. Its non-trivial reducible gauge symmetries and their algebra are defined in this very general setting by means of the inverse second Noether…

This paper concerns the \textbf{abstract geometry of numbers}: namely the pursuit of certain aspects of geometry of numbers over a suitable class of normed domains. (The standard geometry of numbers is then viewed as geometry of numbers…

We study notions such as finite presentability and coherence, for partially ordered abelian groups and vector spaces. Typical results are the following: (i) A partially ordered abelian group G is finitely presented if and only…

Ancel, Dobrowolski, and Grabowski (Studia Math., 1994) proved that every countable discrete subgroup of the additive group of a normed space is free Abelian, hence isomorphic to the direct sum of a certain number of copies of the additive…

In this article we give an self contained existence proof for J. Conway's sporadic simple group Co_1 [4] using the second author's algorithm [14] constructing finite simple groups from irreducible subgroups of GL_n(2). Here n = 11 and the…

We initiate the study of convex geometry over ordered hyperfields. We define convex sets and halfspaces over ordered hyperfields, presenting structure theorems over hyperfields arising as quotients of fields. We prove hyperfield analogues…

For a Euclidean building $X$ of type $A_{2}$, we classify the 0-dimensional subbuildings $A$ of $\partial_{T}X$ that occur as the asymptotic boundary of closed convex subsets. In particular, we show that triviality of the holonomy of a…

We introduce a systematic framework for counting and finding independent operators in effective field theories, taking into account the redundancies associated with use of the classical equations of motion and integration by parts. By…

We show that Zilber's conjecture that complex exponentiation is isomorphic to his pseudo-exponentiation follows from the a priori simpler conjecture that they are elementarily equivalent. An analysis of the first-order types in…

Under ABC, Silverman showed that there are infinitely many non-Wieferich primes with respect to any (non-trivial) base $a$. Recently Srinivas and Subramani proved an analogous result over number fields with trivial class group. In the first…

We give a hierarchial set of axioms for mathematical origami. The hierachy gives the fields of Pythagorean numbers, first discussed by Hilbert, the field of Euclidean constructible numbers which are obtained by the usual constructions of…
