Goedel's results have had a great impact in diverse fields such as philosophy, computer sciences and fundamentals of mathematics. The fact that the rule of mathematical induction is contradictory with the rest of clauses used by Goedel to…

The formal rigidity of the Witt and Virasoro algebras was first established by the author in [4]. The proof was based on some earlier results of the author and Goncharowa, and was not presented there. In this paper we give an elementary…

This paper has been withdrawn by the authors, due an error in Bethe Ansatz equations (16).

We show that the key formula in the works [Ding, Zhu, and Berakdar, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 79}, 045405 (2009); {\bf 84}, 115433 (2011); Ding, Zhu, Zhang, and Berakdar, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 82}, 155143 (2010)] is invalid in the extended graphene…

An example is constructed of a local ring and a module of finite type and finite projective dimension over that ring such that the module is not rigid. This shows that the rigidity conjecture is false.

In an earlier paper, "Omega-inconsistency in Goedel's formal system: a constructive proof of the Entscheidungsproblem" (math/0206302), I argued that a constructive interpretation of Goedel's reasoning establishes any formal system of…

This note points out a gap in the proof of the main theorem of the article "Birationally rigid hypersurfaces" published in Invent. Math. 192 (2013), 533-566, and provides a new proof of the theorem.

This paper gives a counterexample to the impossibility, by G\"odel's second incompleteness theorem, of proving a formula expressing the consistency of arithmetic in a fragment of arithmetic on the assumption that the latter is consistent.…

In this research oriented manuscript, foundational aspects of rigid geometry are discussed, putting emphasis on birational side of formal schemes and topological feature of rigid spaces. Besides the rigid geometry itself, topics include the…

This is a version of the author's diploma thesis written at the University of Cologne in 2002/03. The topic is the construction of Seiberg-Witten invariants of closed 3-manifolds. In analogy to the four dimensional case, the structure of…

We retract the scalar curvature rigidity theorem as there is a mistake in the proof. We thank S. Montiel for pointing out the mistake.

It is shown that, although correct mathematically, the celebrated 1932 theorem of von Neumann which is often interpreted as proving the impossibility of the existence of "hidden variables" in Quantum Mechanics, is in fact based on an…

In Theorem 3.1 of [12], we proved a rigidity result for self-shrinkers under the integral condition on the norm of the second fundamental form. In this paper, we relax the such bound to any finite constant (see Theorem 4.4 for details).

A result of H.-W. Wiesbrock is extended from the case of a common cyclic and separating vector for the half-sided modular inclusion of von Neumann algebras to the case of a common faithful normal semifinite weight and at the same time a gap…

In a recent publication [PRL 111, 160405 (2013)] we proved a version of Heisenberg's error-disturbance tradeoff. This result was in apparent contradiction to claims by Ozawa of having refuted these ideas of Heisenberg. In a direct reaction…

In a previous paper with Kashyap we generalized the theory of $W^*$-modules to the setting of modules over nonselfadjoint dual operator algebras, obtaining the class of weak*-rigged modules. The present paper and its contemporaneous…

In a recent paper [5] a smooth function f : [0; 1] --> R with all derivatives vanishing at 0 has been considered and a global condition, showing that f is indeed identically 0, has been presented. The purpose of this note is to replace the…

An important, if relatively less well known aspect of the singularity theorems in Lorentzian Geometry is to understand how their conclusions fare upon weakening or suppression of one or more of their hypotheses. Then, theorems with modified…

Since their introduction by Erd\H{o}s in 1950, covering systems (that is, finite collections of arithmetic progressions that cover the integers) have been extensively studied, and numerous questions and conjectures have been posed regarding…

The weak value approximation has been in use for thirty-five years, but it has not as of yet received a truly complete derivation, leaving its mathematical validity in a state of limbo. Herein, I fill this gap, deriving the weak value…
