A four-index tensor is constructed with terms both quadratic in the Riemann tensor and linear in its second derivatives, which has zero divergence for space-times with vanishing scalar curvature. This tensor reduces in vacuum to the…
A subset of the Cantor cube is null-additive if its algebraic sum with any null set is null. We construct a set of cardinality continuum such that: all continuous images of the set into the Cantor cube are null-additive, it contains a…
Fusion categories are fundamental objects in quantum algebra, but their definition is narrow in some respects. By definition a fusion category must be k-linear for some field k, and every simple object V is strongly simple, meaning that (V)…
We construct a countable simple theory which, in Keisler's order, is strictly above the random graph (but "barely so") and also in some sense orthogonal to the building blocks of the recently discovered infinite descending chain. As a…
We study the probability distribution of the number of zeros of multivariable polynomials with bounded degree over a finite field. We find the probability generating function for each set of bounded degree polynomials. In particular, in the…
It is shown that under certain stability conditions a complemented subspace of the space $s$ of rapidly decreasing sequences is isomorphic to $s$ and this condition characterizes $s$. This result is used to show that for the classical…
The representations of the observable algebra of a low dimensional quantum field theory form the objects of a braided tensor category. The search for gauge symmetry in the theory amounts to finding an algebra which has the same…
We explore a general method based on trees of elementary submodels in order to present highly simplified proofs to numerous results in infinite combinatorics. While countable elementary submodels have been employed in such settings already,…
It is proved that every normalized weakly null \sq\ has a sub\sq\ which is convexly unconditional. Further, an Hierarchy of summability methods is introduced and with this we give a complete classification of the complexity of weakly null…
We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…
We characterize 1-complemented subspaces of finite codimension in strictly monotone one-$p$-convex, $2<p<\infty,$ sequence spaces. Next we describe, up to isometric isomorphism, all possible types of 1-unconditional structures in sequence…
String theory is a quantum theory that reproduces the results of General Relativity at long distances but is completely different at short distances. Mathematically, string theory is based on a very new -- and little understood -- framework…
We show that every multi-correlation sequence is the sum of a generalized nilsequence and a null-sequence. This proves a conjecture of N. Frantzikinakis. A key ingredient is the reduction of ergodic multidimensional inverse theorems to…
This article critically reappraises arguments in support of Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers. The following results are reported: i) Cantor's proofs of nondenumerability are refuted by analyzing the logical inconsistencies in…
Given $\rho\in (0,1/4]$, the four corner Cantor set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ is a self-similar set generated by the iterated function system \[ \left\{(\rho x, \rho y), \quad(\rho x, \rho y+1-\rho),\quad (\rho x+1-\rho, \rho y),\quad(\rho…
We introduce a natural way to construct a random subset of a homogeneous Cantor set $C$ in $[0,1]$ via random labelings of an infinite $M$-ary tree, where $M\geq 2$. The Cantor set $C$ is the attractor of an equicontractive iterated…
We consider distributions on $\mathbb{R}$ that can be written as the sum of a non-zero discrete distribution and an absolutely continuous distribution. We show that such a distribution is quasi-infinitely divisible if and only if its…
We compute the $\delta$-invariant of a curve singularity parameterized by generic sparse polynomials. We apply this to describe topological types of generic singularities of sparse resultants and ``algebraic knot diagrams'' (i.e. generic…
We prove an L^1 subsequence ergodic theorem for sequences chosen by independent random selector variables, thereby showing the existence of universally L^1-good sequences nearly as sparse as the set of squares. In the process, we prove that…
Turing's famous 'machine' framework provides an intuitively clear conception of 'computing with real numbers'. A recursive counterexample to a theorem shows that the theorem does not hold when restricted to computable objects. These…
