We study the growth of the values of binary quadratic forms $Q$ on a binary planar tree as it was described by Conway. We show that the corresponding Lyapunov exponents $\Lambda_Q(x)$ as a function of the path determined by $x\in \mathbb…
We generalize Conway's approach to integral binary quadratic forms on Q to study integral binary hermitian forms on quadratic imaginary extensions of Q. In Conway's case, an indefinite form that doesn't represent 0 determines a line…
The proper class of Conway's surreal numbers forms a rich totally ordered algebraically closed field with many arithmetic and algebraic properties close to those of real numbers, the ordinals, and infinitesimal numbers. In this paper, we…
We introduce one-way flows in near algebras and two-way flows in double near algebras with two interrelated multiplications. We establish parametric representations of the one-way and two-way flows in terms of a single element of the…
A $2-(n,4,\lambda)$ design $(\Omega, \mathcal{B})$ is said to be supersimple if distinct lines intersect in at most two points. From such a design, one can construct a certain subset of Sym$(\Omega)$ called a "Conway groupoid". The…
We consider an infinite sequence of rooted trees naturally emerging in a number-theoretical context. We advance some ideas on its structure by discussing some elementary properties. Some of those properties are shown to be related to…
The main objective of this article is part of a research program to link the dynamics of fluid flows with the structure and its transitions in the physical spaces. As a prototype of problem and to demonstrate the main ideas, we study the…
In this paper we present short algebraic proofs of the Linear Conway--Gordon--Sachs and the Linear van Kampen--Flores theorems in the spirit of the Radon theorem on convex hulls. {\bf Theorem.} {\it Take any $n+3$ general position points in…
A table of the families of alternating knots formed by conways is presented. The Conway's function is shown with the use of linear algebra in terms of natural numbers, called conways, that represent the number of crossings along a…
We give a graphical theory of integral indefinite binary Hamiltonian forms $f$ analogous to the one by Conway for binary quadratic forms and the one of Bestvina-Savin for binary Hermitian forms. Given a maximal order $\mathcal O$ in a…
In this work we study, in greater detail than before, J.H. Conway's topographs for integral binary quadratic forms. These are trees in the plane with regions labeled by integers following a simple pattern. Each topograph can display the…
We investigate the consequences of fluid flowing on a continuous surface upon the geometric and statistical distribution of the flow. We find that the ability of a surface to collect water by its mere geometrical shape is proportional to…
We consider an algebra of (classical or virtual) tangles over an ordered circuit operad and introduce Conway-type invariants of tangles which respect this algebraic structure. The resulting invariants contain both the coefficients of the…
John Conway's Circle Theorem is a gem of plane geometry. The six points formed by continuing the sides of a triangle beyond every vertex by the length of its opposite side, are concyclic. The theorem has attracted several proofs. We present…
Let $F$ be an incompressible, meridionally incompressible and not boundary-parallel surface with boundary in the complement of an algebraic tangle $(B,T)$. Then $F$ separates the strings of $T$ in $B$ and the boundary slope of $F$ is…
Some connections between quadratic forms over the field of two elements, Clifford algebras of quadratic forms over the real numbers, real graded division algebras, and twisted group algebras will be highlighted. This allows to revisit real…
Conway's field No of surreal numbers comes both with a natural total order and an additional "simplicity relation" which is also a partial order. Considering No as a doubly ordered structure for these two orderings, an isomorphic copy of No…
This paper is a sequel to [3]. We formulate a natural algebraic geometry conjecture, give some of its number theoretic and analytical consequences, and show that those can be used to get further advances in wave turbulence theory.
In this article, we give proofs on the Arnold Lagrangian intersection conjecture on the cotangent bundles, Arnold-Givental Lagrangian intersection conjecture and the Arnold fixed point conjecture.
We give necessary conditions for a polynomial to be the Conway polynomial of a two-bridge link. As a consequence, we obtain simple proofs of the classical theorems of Murasugi and Hartley. We give a modulo 2 congruence for links, which…
