We study the discrete causal set geometry of a small causal diamond in a curved spacetime using the average abundance of k-element chains or total orders in the underlying causal set C. We begin by obtaining the first order curvature…

For any nearfield $(R,+, \circ)$, denote by $D(R)$ the set of all distributive elements of $R$. Let $R$ be a finite Dickson nearfield that arises from Dickson pair $(q,n)$. For a given pair $(\alpha, \beta) \in R^2$ we study the generalized…

Let $B$ be a central simple algebra of degree $n$ over a number field $K$, and $L\subset B$ a strictly maximal subfield. We say that the ring of integers $\mathcal O_L$ is "selective" if there exists an isomorphism class of maximal orders…

Every reduced ring $R$ has a natural partial order defined by $a\le b$ if $a^2=ab$; it generalizes the natural order on a boolean ring. The article examines when $R$ is a lower semi-lattice in this order with examples drawn from weakly Baer…

An ordered semiring is a commutative semiring equipped with a compatible preorder. Ordered semirings generalise both distributive lattices and commutative rings, and provide a convenient framework to unify certain aspects of lattice theory…

Differential calculus on discrete spaces is studied in the manner of non-commutative geometry by representing the differential calculus by an operator algebra on a suitable Krein space. The discrete analogue of a (pseudo-)Riemannian metric…

In this paper, we study properties of nodal orders defined over arbitrary base fields. In particular we give a classification of complete real nodal orders.

In the present work we carry on the study of the order theory for ($\mathcal{C}^{\infty}-$-reduced) $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}-$-rings initiated in \cite{rings1} (see also \cite{BM2}). In particular, we apply some results of the order theory of…

We introduce orthogonal ring patterns in the 2-sphere and in the hyperbolic plane, consisting of pairs of concentric circles, which generalize circle patterns. We show that their radii are described by a discrete integrable system. This is…

An algebraic description of basic discrete symmetries (space reversal P, time reversal T and their combination PT) is studied. Discrete subgroups of orthogonal groups of multidimensional spaces over the fields of real and complex numbers…

We give the distribution of $M_n$, the maximum of a sequence of $n$ observations from a moving average of order 1. Solutions are first given in terms of repeated integrals and then for the case where the underlying independent random…

Let M be a polynomially bounded, o-minimal structure with archimedean prime model, for example if M is a real closed field. Let C be a convex and unbounded subset of M. We determine the first order theory of the structure M expanded by the…

We explain by elementary means why the existence of a discrete series representation of a real reductive group $G$ implies the existence of a compact Cartan subgroup of $G$. The presented approach has the potential to generalize to real…

We consider spatial discretizations by the finite section method of the restricted group algebra of a finitely generated discrete group, which is represented as a concrete operator algebra via its left-regular representation. Special…

In this paper, it is shown that the Boolean ring of a commutative ring is isomorphic to the ring of clopens of its prime spectrum. In particular, Stone's Representation Theorem is generalized. The prime spectrum of the Boolean ring of a…

Let K be a subfield of the real field, D be a discrete subset of K and f : D^n -> K be a function such that f(D^n) is somewhere dense. Then (K,f) defines the set of integers. We present several applications of this result. We show that K…

We prove that if $N$ points lie in convex position in the plane then they determine $\Omega(N^{5/4})$ distinct angles, provided that the points do not lie on a common circle. This is derived from a more general claim that if $N$ points in…

We investigate the finite subgroups that occur in the Hamiltonian quaternion algebra over the real subfield of cyclotomic fields. When possible, we investigate their distribution among the maximal orders.

Let $\mathcal M=\langle M, <, +, \dots\rangle$ be an o-minimal expansion of an ordered group, and $P\subseteq M$ a dense set such that certain tameness conditions hold. We introduce the notion of a `product cone' in $\widetilde{\mathcal…

We propose a theory of deterministic chaos for discrete systems, based on their representations in binary state spaces $ \Omega $, homeomorphic to the space of symbolic dynamics. This formalism is applied to neural networks and cellular…
