We introduce a natural method of computing antiderivatives of a large class of functions which stems from the observation that the series expansion of an antiderivative differs from the series expansion of the corresponding integrand by…
We develop a theoretical study of non-terminating hypergeometric summations with one free parameter. Composing various methods in complex and asymptotic analysis, geometry and arithmetic of certain transcendental curves and rational…
In the present paper and as an application of Roth's theorem concerning the rational approximation of algebraic numbers, we give a sufficient condition that will assure us that a sum, product and quotient of some series of positive rational…
Using an application of Schmidt's Subspace Theorem, this paper gives new transcendence criteria for rapidly converging infinite products of algebraic numbers. The paper also improves existing criteria for irrationality of products and…
Starting from a small number of well-motivated axioms, we derive a unique definition of sums with a noninteger number of addends. These "fractional sums" have properties that generalize well-known classical sum identities in a natural way.…
There exists a particular subset of algebraic power series over a finite field which, for different reasons, can be compared to the subset of quadratic real numbers. The continued fraction expansion for these elements, called…
We establish a correspondence between automorphisms and derivations on certain algebras of generalised power series. In particular, we describe a Lie algebra of derivations on a field $k(\!(G)\!)$ of generalised power series, exploiting our…
We develop Kummer theory for algebraic function fields in finitely many transcendental variables. We consider any finitely generated Kummer extension (possibly, over a cyclotomic extension) of an algebraic function field, and describe the…
We construct spaces of 1-dimensional supersymmetric Euclidean field theories and show that they represent real or complex K-theory. A noteworthy feature of our bordism category is that the identity bordism of a point is connected to…
In the present article, real number representations, that are generalizations of classical positive and alternating representations of numbers, are introduced and investigated. The main metric relation, properties of cylinder sets are…
We consider derivations $\partial$ on Conway's field $\mathbf{No}$ of surreal numbers such that the ordered differential field $(\mathbf{No},\partial)$ has constant field $\mathbb{R}$ and is a model of the model companion of the theory of…
Given an o-minimal expansion $\mathbb{R}_{\mathcal{A}}$ of the real ordered field, generated by a generalized quasianalytic class $\mathcal{A}$, we construct an explicit truncation closed ordered differential field embedding of the Hardy…
An $H$-field is a type of ordered valued differential field with a natural interaction between ordering, valuation, and derivation. The main examples are Hardy fields and fields of transseries. Aschenbrenner and van den Dries proved…
In the first half of this paper, we study the way that sets of real numbers closed under Turing equivalence sit inside the real line from the perspective of algebra, measure and order. Afterwards, we combine the results from our study of…
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…
This paper addresses the question: given a scalar group, can we determine all the additions that transform this scalar group into a (near-)field? A key approach to addressing this problem involves transporting (near-)field structures via…
We give a criterion when an expansion of the ordered set of real numbers defines the image of the expansion of the real field by the set of natural numbers under a semialgebraic injection. In particular, we show that for a non-quadratic…
We unravel a deep connection between limits of real numbers and limits in category theory. Using a new variant of the classical characterisation of the real numbers, we characterise the category of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and…
We present a general result of simultaneous approximation to several transcendental real, complex or p-adic numbers xi_1,...,xi_t by conjugate algebraic numbers of bounded degree over Q, provided that the given transcendental numbers…
We investigate additive properties of sets $A,$ where $A=\{a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of real numbers, and the differences of consecutive elements are all distinct. It is known that $|A+B|\geq c|A||B|^{1/2}$ for any…
