I describe a constructive foundation for Quantum Mechanics, based on the discreteness of the degrees of freedom of quantum objects and on the Principle of Relativity. Taking Einstein's historical construction of Special Relativity as a…

In 1926-1927, Tarski designed a set of axioms for Euclidean geometry which reached its final form in a manuscript by Schwabh\"auser, Szmielew and Tarski in 1983. The differences amount to simplifications obtained by Tarski and Gupta. Gupta…

It was proved by the first-named author and Zubkov [13] that given an affine algebraic supergroup $\mathbb{G}$ and a closed sub-supergroup $\mathbb{H}$ over an arbitrary field of characteristic $\ne 2$, the faisceau $\mathbb{G} \tilde{/}…

Two axioms of order geoemtry are the poset axioms of transitivity and antisymmetry of the relation "is in front of" when looking from a point. From these axioms, by looking from an interval instead of a point, further well-known axioms of…

A general model for geometric structures on differentiable manifolds is obtained by deforming infinitesimal symmetries. Specifically, this model consists of a Lie algebroid, equipped with an affine connection compatible with the Lie…

We investigate the relationship between the Eklof-Mekler-Shelah Construction Principle for a variety of algebras $\mathbf{V}$ and the question of superstability of the free objects in $\mathbf{V}$, denoted as $\mathcal{F}_\mathbf{V}$. We…

This paper develops a uniformly valid and asymptotically nonconservative test based on projection for a class of shape restrictions. The key insight we exploit is that these restrictions form convex cones, a simple and yet elegant structure…

Convex geometries form a subclass of closure systems with unique criticals, or $UC$-systems. We show that the $F$-basis introduced in [1] for $UC$-systems, becomes optimum in convex geometries, in two essential parts of the basis: right…

This is my dissertation about digraphs ordered by pp-constructability. We study in particular smooth digraphs, i.e., digraphs without sources or sinks, tournaments and semicomplete digraphs, orientations of paths and cycles, digraphs with…

In classical geometric algebra, there have been several treatments of affine and projective planes based on fields. In this thesis we approach affine and projective planes from a constructive point of view and we base our geometry on local…

A unified construction of canonical $H^m$-nonconforming finite elements is developed for $n$-dimensional simplices for any $m, n \geq 1$. Consistency with the Morley-Wang-Xu elements [Math. Comp. 82 (2013), pp. 25-43] is maintained when $m…

We continue our work on the model theory of free lattices, solving two of the main open problems from our first paper on the subject. Our main result is that the universal (existential) theory of infinite free lattices is decidable. Our…

This paper proposes an alternative to standard first-order logic that seeks greater naturalness, generality, and semantic self-containment. The system removes the first-order restriction, avoids type hierarchies, and dispenses with external…
