The periodic tiling conjecture asserts that any finite subset of a lattice $\mathbb{Z^d}$ which tiles that lattice by translations, in fact tiles periodically. We announce here a disproof of this conjecture for sufficiently large $d$, which…
Mathematical proofs are often said to justify their conclusions by indicating the existence of a corresponding formal derivation. We argue that this widespread view relies on an under-examined notion of correspondence, or what it means for…
A theorem, usually attributed to Barr, yields that (A) geometric implications deduced in classical L_{\infty\omega} logic from geometric theories also have intuitionistic proofs. Barr's theorem is of a topos-theoretic nature and its proof…
We prove the consistency (modulo supercompact) of a negative answer to Arhangelskii's problem (some Hausdorff compact space cannot be partitioned to two sets not containing a closed copy of Cantor discontinuum). In this model we have CH.…
Tverberg's theorem is one of the cornerstones of discrete geometry. It states that, given a set $X$ of at least $(d+1)(r-1)+1$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, one can find a partition $X=X_1\cup \ldots \cup X_r$ of $X$, such that the convex hulls…
We present a constructive proof of Tychonoff's fixed point theorem in a locally convex space for sequentially locally non-constant functions, As a corollary to this theorem we also present Schauder's fixed point theorem in a Banach space…
We prove a differential analog of a theorem of Chevalley on extending homomorphisms for rings with commuting derivations, generalizing a theorem of Kac. As a corollary, we establish that, under suitable hypotheses, the image of a…
While numerous extensions of Banach's fixed point theorem typically offer only sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point and the convergence of iterative sequences, this study introduces a generalization…
Almost two decades ago, Wattenberg published a paper with the title 'Nonstandard Analysis and Constructivism?' in which he speculates on a possible connection between Nonstandard Analysis and constructive mathematics. We study Wattenberg's…
It is believed arXiv:0808.2762, arXiv:math/9904055 that, among the coefficients entering Kontsevich's formality quasi-isomorphism arXiv:q-alg/9709040, there are irrational (possibly even transcendental) numbers. In this paper, we prove that…
Compact sets in constructive mathematics capture our intuition of what computable subsets of the plane (or any other complete metric space) ought to be. A good representation of compact sets provides an efficient means of creating and…
We use an upper bound on Jacobsthal's function to complete a proof of a known density result. Apart from the bound on Jacobsthal's function used here, the proof we are completing uses only elementary methods and Dirichlet's theorem on the…
In constructive algebra one cannot in general decide the irreducibility of a polynomial over a field K. This poses some problems to showing the existence of the algebraic closure of K. We give a possible constructive interpretation of the…
The goal of this paper is to formalize the notion of The Compositional Integral in The Complex Plane. We prove a convergence theorem guaranteeing its existence. We prove an analogue of Cauchy's Integral Theorem--and suggest an approach at…
Given a compact set $K$ in the plane, which does not contain any triple of points forming a vertical and a horizontal segment, and a map $f\in C(K)$, we give a construction of functions $g,h\in C(\mathbb R)$ such that $f(x,y)=g(x)+h(y)$ for…
In two articles by Barthel, Brasselet, Fieseler and Kaup, and, Bressler and Lunts, a combinatorial theory of intersection cohomology and perverse sheaves has been developed on fans. In the first one, one tried to present everything on an…
We present a concise proof for the supporting hyperplane theorem. We then observe that the proof not only establishes the supporting hyperplane theorem but also extends it to a hyperplane separation theorem for certain non-convex sets. The…
Given a compact set K in the plane, which contains no triple of points forming a vertical and a horizontal segment, and a continuous real-valued map f on K, we give a construction of real-valued continuous maps of one variable g,h such that…
These expository notes, addressed to non-experts, are intended to present some of Hironaka's ideas on his theorem of resolution of singularities. We focus particularly on those aspects which have played a central role in the constructive…
We present a new proof of the classical divergence theorem in bounded domains. Our proof is based on a nonlocal analog of the divergence theorem and a rescaling argument. Main ingredients in the proof are nonlocal versions of the divergence…
