The ideas of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty are widely used to reason about the probabilistic predictions of machine-learning models. We identify incoherence in existing discussions of these ideas and suggest this stems from the…

This paper deals with the revision of partially ordered beliefs. It proposes a semantic representation of epistemic states by partial pre-orders on interpretations and a syntactic representation by partially ordered belief bases. Two…

In this paper we discuss the representational realist stance as a pluralist ontic approach to inter-theoretic relationships. Our stance stresses the fact that physical theories require the necessary consideration of a conceptual level of…

The metohod of ortogonal rotations introduced in the previous papers of the author is used for construction of the explicit form the generators of the simple roots for quantum (and ussual) semisimple algebras. All calculations are presented…

The attitude space has been parameterized in various ways for practical purposes. Different representations gain preferences over others based on their intuitive understanding, ease of implementation, formulaic simplicity, and physical as…

This paper serves as an extended road map for our long-term project "Mixed Random-quasiperiodic Cocycles" [arXiv:2201.04745, arXiv:2109.09544, arXiv:2210.16908, 6, 7] with Pedro Duarte and Silvius Klein. Despite exhibiting totally different…

In this paper we present some results related to the problem of finding periodic representations for algebraic numbers. In particular, we analyze the problem for cubic irrationalities. We show an interesting relationship between the…

Dealing with quadratic payments, marginal probability is usually considered ideally constant, maybe for the sake of initial simplicity. Considering the voting scenario depicted in "Quadratic Payments: A Primer" by Vitalik Buterin, firstly…

Quasirandomness is a general mathematical concept meant to encapsulate several characteristics usually satisfied by random combinatorial objects, and which we regard as describing when a given object 'looks random'. In this survey we…

In this paper we make a series of numerical experiments to support Greenberg's $p$-rationality conjecture, we present a family of $p$-rational biquadratic fields and we find new examples of $p$-rational multiquadratic fields. In the case of…

I propose a new class of interpretations, {\it real world interpretations}, of the quantum theory of closed systems. These interpretations postulate a preferred factorization of Hilbert space and preferred projective measurements on one…

We classify all the irrational pencils over the surfaces of general type with p=q=2. This classification adds a new evidence to a Catanese conjecture which states that if S has p=q=2 but no irrational pencils then it is the double cover of…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. We fashion an infinite dimensional basic algebra $\underleftarrow{\mathcal{C}}_p(F)$, with a transparent combinatorial structure, which we expect to control the rational…

We show that on most of the hyperbolic simply connected domains the weighted bounded rational approximation in a natural sup norm is possible only for a very sparse set of holomorphic functions (in contrast to integral approximation). The…

We present a variant of the quantum relational Hoare logic from (Unruh, POPL 2019) that allows us to use "expectations" in pre- and postconditions. That is, when reasoning about pairs of programs, our logic allows us to quantitatively…
