We show, in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without the Axiom of Choice, that the existence of a discontinuous homomorphism of the additive group of real numbers induces a selector for the Vitali equivalence relation $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Q}$.…
For an infinite set $X$, a closed under finite unions family $\mathcal{Z}$ with $[X]^{<\omega}\subseteq\mathcal{Z}\subseteq\mathcal{P}(X)$, and any $\mathcal{A}\subseteq\mathcal{P}(X)$, the topology…
We study several consequences of the packing problem, a conjecture from combinatorial optimization, using algebraic invariants of square-free monomial ideals. While the packing problem is currently unresolved, we successfully settle the…
In this paper I present an (\in, =)-sentence, AC**, with only 5 quantifiers, that logically implies the axiom of choice, AC. Furthermore, using a weak fragment of ZF set theory, I prove that AC implies AC**. Up to now 6 quantifiers were the…
Let n>0 be a number. Let Gn be the graph on n-dimensional Euclidean space connecting points of rational distance. It is consistent with the choiceless theory ZF+DC that Gn has countable chromatic number yet Gn+1 does not.
This article concerns the Herrlich-Chew theorem stating that a Hausdorff zero-dimensional space is $\mathbb{N}$-compact if and only if every clopen ultrafilter with the countable intersection property in this space is fixed. It also…
I argue that nonlocal decision of the outcomes at detection excludes any alternative theory to quantum mechanics: Not all that matters for the results of physical experiments is content in space-time, but all that is in space-time is…
This article describes a Turing machine which can solve for $\beta^{'}$ which is RE-complete. RE-complete problems are proven to be undecidable by Turing's accepted proof on the Entscheidungsproblem. Thus, constructing a machine which…
We introduce a general theory of functions called Flow. We prove ZF, non-well founded ZF and ZFC can be immersed within Flow as a natural consequence from our framework. The existence of strongly inaccessible cardinals is entailed from our…
We extend Noether's symmetry theorem to fractional action-like variational problems with higher-order derivatives.
We prove an implicit function theorem and an inverse function theorem for free noncommutative functions over operator spaces and on the set of nilpotent matrices. We apply these results to study dependence of the solution of the initial…
We show that the theory ZFC-, consisting of the usual axioms of ZFC but with the power set axiom removed-specifically axiomatized by extensionality, foundation, pairing, union, infinity, separation, replacement and the assertion that every…
Let $(x_1,y_1),\ldots,(x_n,y_n)$ be distinct non-constant and non-degenerate solutions of the classical Lotka-Volterra system \begin{equation}\notag \begin{split} x'&= axy + bx\\ y'&= cxy + dy, \end{split} \end{equation} where…
It is well known that in Zermelo-Fraenkel (ZF) set theory any finite set is decidable. In this paper we discuss an extension of ZF where this result is no longer valid. Such an extension is quasi-set theory and it has its origin on problems…
A base of a topological space is called {\em Noetherian } iff it does not contain an infinite strictly $\subseteq$-increasing chain. We show that minimal cardinality of a regular spaces without a Noetherian base is the first strongly…
We present a first-order theory of sequences with integer elements, Presburger arithmetic, and regular constraints, which can model significant properties of data structures such as arrays and lists. We give a decision procedure for the…
We show that the standard approach of minimal invariant sets, which applies Zorn's Lemma and is used to prove fixed point theorems for non-expansive mappings in Banach spaces can be applied without any reference to the full Axiom of Choice…
In this paper I introduce a new and intuitive first-order foundational theory (where the concept of set is not primitive) and use it to show that the power set of an infinite set does not exist. In particular, proofs of uncountability of a…
Let $X$ be a quasi-compact and quasi-separated scheme. There are two fundamental and pervasive facts about the unbounded derived category of $X$: (1) $\mathsf{D}_{\mathrm{qc}}(X)$ is compactly generated by perfect complexes and (2) if $X$…
In the present work we study dynamical space-time symmetries in noncommutative relativistic theories by using the minimal canonical extension of the Doplicher, Fredenhagen and Roberts algebra. Our formalism is constructed in an extended…
