In our previous arXiv papers ("The Information and the Matter", v1, v5; more systematically the informational conception is presented in the paper "The Information as Absolute", 2010) it was rigorously shown that Matter in our Universe -…

Hilbert's Nullstellensatz characterizes polynomials that vanish on the vanishing set of an ideal in C[x]. In the free algebra C<X> the vanishing set of a two-sided ideal I is defined in a dimension-free way using images in…

In recent years, the traditional notion of symmetry in quantum theory was expanded to so-called generalised or categorical symmetries, which, unlike ordinary group symmetries, may be non-invertible. This appears to be at odds with Wigner's…

We provide a new foundational approach to the generalization of terms up to equational theories. We interpret generalization problems in a universal-algebraic setting making a key use of projective and exact algebras in the variety…

We give a definition, in the ring language, of Z_p inside Q_p and of F_p[[t]] inside F_p((t)), which works uniformly for all $p$ and all finite field extensions of these fields, and in many other Henselian valued fields as well. The formula…

The class of abelian $p$-groups are an example of some very interesting phenomena in computable structure theory. We will give an elementary first-order theory $T_p$ whose models are each bi-interpretable with the disjoint union of an…

In this paper we investigate the intrinsic sequential time complexity of universal elimination procedures for arbitrary continuous data structures encoding input and output objects of elimination theory (i.e. polynomial equation systems)…

By means of Fra\"{i}ss\'{e} theory for metric structures developed by Ben Yaacov, we show that there exists a separable $1$-exact operator system $\mathbb{GS}$---which we call the Gurarij operator system---of almost universal disposition.…

The vanishing ideal is a set of polynomials that takes zero value on the given data points. Originally proposed in computer algebra, the vanishing ideal has been recently exploited for extracting the nonlinear structures of data in many…

The existence of ideal objects, such as maximal ideals in nonzero rings, plays a crucial role in commutative algebra. These are typically justified using Zorn's lemma, and thus pose a challenge from a computational point of view. Giving a…

Biclustering has proved to be a powerful data analysis technique due to its wide success in various application domains. However, the existing literature presents efficient solutions only for enumerating maximal biclusters with constant…

Unsupervised classification is a fundamental machine learning problem. Real-world data often contain imperfections, characterized by uncertainty and imprecision, which are not well handled by traditional methods. Evidential clustering,…

The problem of expressing a selfadjoint element that is zero on every bounded trace as a finite sum (or a limit of sums) of commutators is investigated in the setting of C*-algebras of finite nuclear dimension. Upper bounds -- in terms of…

A qualitative representation $\phi$ is like an ordinary representation of a relation algebra, but instead of requiring $(a; b)^\phi = a^\phi | b^\phi$, as we do for ordinary representations, we only require that $c^\phi\supseteq a^\phi |…

We consider the theory of algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero with multivalued operations $x\mapsto x^r$ (raising to powers). It is in fact the theory of equations in exponential sums. In an earlier paper we have described…

We study a strengthening of the notion of a universally meager set and its dual counterpart that strengthens the notion of a universally null set. We say that a subset $A$ of a perfect Polish space $X$ is countably perfectly meager…
