Exact representations of real numbers such as the signed digit representation or more generally linear fractional representations or the infinite Gray code represent real numbers as infinite streams of digits. In earlier work by the first…

The ground axiom is the assertion that the set-theoretic universe is not obtainable by forcing over any inner model. Although this appears at first to be a second-order assertion, it is actually first-order expressible in the language of…

We resolve the strong Elementary Equivalence versus Isomorphism Problem for finitely generated fields. That is, we show that for every field in this class there is a first-order sentence which characterizes this field within the class up to…

In the present article, real number representations, that are generalizations of classical positive and alternating representations of numbers, are introduced and investigated. The main metric relation, properties of cylinder sets are…

This paper develops a technical and practical reinterpretation of the real interval [a,b] under the paradigm of fractal countability. Instead of assuming the continuum as a completed uncountable totality, we model [a,b] as a layered…

We introduce a field-theory framework in which fields transform under the little group, rather than the Lorentz group, specific to each particle type. By utilizing these fields, along with spinor products and the x factor, we construct a…

The constructive approach to mathematics has the advantage that witnesses can be extracted from statements of existence and theorems can be unwound to give algorithms. Even better, constructive theorems can be interpreted in any topos,…

We study how well a real number can be approximated by sums of two or more rational numbers with denominators up to a certain size.

We develop a theory for describing composite objects in physics. These can be static objects, such as tables, or things that happen in spacetime (such as a region of spacetime with fields on it regarded as being composed of smaller such…

We use the "geometric axioms" point of view to give an effective listing of the complete types of the theory $DCF_{0}$ of differentially closed fields of characteristic $0$. This gives another account of observations made in earlier papers.

A realistic axiomatic formulation of Galilean Quantum Field Theories is presented, from which the most important theorems of the theory can be deduced. In comparison with others formulations, the formal aspect has been improved by the use…

We combine several folklore observations to provide a working framework for iterating constructions which contradict the axiom of choice. We use this to define a model in which any kind of structural failure must fail with a proper class of…

Concept explanation is a popular approach for examining how human-interpretable concepts impact the predictions of a model. However, most existing methods for concept explanations are tailored to specific models. To address this issue, this…

Neutrices are additive subgroups of a nonstandard model of the real numbers. An external number is the algebraic sum of a nonstandard real number and a neutrix. Due to the stability by some shifts, external numbers may be seen as…

We consider the problem of simultaneous approximation to a number and to its square in a general framework that encompasses imaginary quadratic number fields and fields of rational functions in one variable. In this context, we construct…

Introducing the notion of a rational system of measure preserving transformations and proving a recurrence result for such systems, we give sufficient conditions in order a subset of rational numbers to contain arbitrary long arithmetic…

We investigate abstract model theoretic properties which holds for models in which a truth or satisfaction predicate for a sublanguage of the signature is definable. We analyse in which cases those properties in fact ensure the definability…
