For any first order theory T we construct a Boolean valued model M, in which precisely the T--provable formulas hold, and in which every (Boolean valued) subset which is invariant under all automorphisms of M is definable by a first order…

In this paper we show that if $(X,\mathcal{A})$ is a measurable space and if $Y$ is a topological model of a Lawvere theory $\mathcal{T}$ equipped with $\mathcal{B}$ the Borel $\sigma$-algebra on $Y$, then the set of…

Starting from the original collective Hamiltonian of Bohr and separating the beta and gamma variables as in the X(5) model of Iachello, an exactly soluble model corresponding to a harmonic oscillator potential in the beta-variable (to be…

Many physical systems like supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories are formulated as quantum matrix models. We discuss how to apply the Beth ansatz to exactly solve some supersymmetric quantum matrix models in the large-N limit. Toy models are…

A longstanding open problem in lambda calculus is whether there exist continuous models of the untyped lambda calculus whose theory is exactly the least lambda-theory lambda-beta or the least sensible lambda-theory H (generated by equating…

If F is a type-definable family of commensurable subsets, subgroups or sub-vector spaces in a metric structure, then there is an invariant subset, subgroup or sub-vector space commensurable with F. This in particular applies to…

Following ideas given by John Bell in a paper entitled \textit{Beables for quantum field theory}, we show that it is possible to obtain a realistic and deterministic interpretation of any quantum field-theoretic model involving Fermi…

Let $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\beta)$ be algebraic number fields. We describe a new method to find (if they exist) all isomorphisms, $\mathbb{Q}(\beta) \rightarrow \mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$. The algorithm is particularly efficient if…

In the context of the recent interest in solvable models of scattering mediated by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians (cf. H. F. Jones, Phys. Rev. D 76, 125003 (2007)) we show that and how the well known variability of our ad hoc choice of the…

Let K be an infinite field such that its characteristic is not 2. We show that, for every $A\in\mathcal{M}_n(K)$ such that $\mathrm{rank}(A)\geq n/2$, there exists $B\in\mathcal{M}_n(K)$ such that $B$ is similar to $A$ and $A+B$ is…

We prove a completeness result for Multiplicative Exponential Linear Logic (MELL): we show that the relational model is injective for MELL proof-nets, i.e. the equality between MELL proof-nets in the relational model is exactly axiomatized…

We show that the Schubert calculus of enumerative geometry is real, for special Schubert conditions. That is, for any such enumerative problem, there exist real conditions for which all the a priori complex solutions are real.

A complete first order theory of a relational signature is called monomorphic iff all its models are monomorphic (i.e. have all the $n$-element substructures isomorphic, for each positive integer $n$). We show that a complete theory…

We show that for any $k\in\omega$, the structure $(H_k,\in)$ of sets that are hereditarily of size at most $k$ is decidable. We provide a transparent complete axiomatization of its theory, a quantifier elimination result, and tight bounds…

We give a full solution to the question of existence of indiscernibles in dependent theories by proving the following theorem: for every $\theta$ there is a dependent theory $T$ of size $\theta$ such that for all $\kappa$ and $\delta$,…

We prove the following theorems: Theorem 1: For any E-field with cyclic kernel, in particular $\mathbb C$ or the Zilber fields, all real abelian algebraic numbers are pointwise definable. Theorem 2: For the Zilber fields, the only pointwise…

We show in ZF that: (i) Every subcompact metrizable space is completely metrizable, and every completely metrizable space is countably subcompact. (ii) A metrizable space X=(X,T) is countably compact iff it is countably subcompact relative…

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ belong to the same quadratic field. We show that the inhomogeneous Beatty sequence $(\lfloor n \alpha + \beta \rfloor)_{n \geq 1}$ is synchronized, in the sense that there is a finite automaton that takes as input…

This paper argues that mathematical objects are constructions and that constructions introduce a flexibility in the ways that mathematical objects are represented (as sets of binary sequences for example) and presented (in a particular…

Let $k,\ell\geq 2$ be two multiplicatively independent integers. Cobham's famous theorem states that a set $X\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ is both $k$-recognizable and $\ell$-recognizable if and only if it is definable in Presburger arithmetic.…
