We extend almost everywhere convergence in Wiener-Wintner ergodic theorem for $\sigma$-finite measure to a generally stronger almost uniform convergence and present a larger, universal, space for which this convergence holds. We then extend…

Kochen and Specker's theorem can be seen as a consequence of Gleason's theorem and logical compactness. Similar compactness arguments lead to stronger results about finite sets of rays in Hilbert space, which we also prove by a direct…

Using the supersymmetric formalism we compute exactly at finite $N$ the expectation of the Wilson loop in the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble and derive an exact formula for the spectral density at finite $N$. We obtain the same result by a…

Assuming that there exist operators which form an irreducible representation of the q-superoscillator algebra, it is proved that any two such representations are equivalent, related by a uniquely determined superunitary transformation. This…

We prove a unified convergence theorem, which presents in four equivalent forms of the famous Antosik-Mikusinski Theorems. In particular, we show that Swartz' three uniform convergence principles are all equivalent to the Antosik-Mikusinski…

A cornerstone of quantum mechanics is the characterisation of symmetries provided by Wigner's theorem. Wigner's theorem establishes that every symmetry of the quantum state space must be either a unitary transformation, or an antiunitary…

This is an elementary introduction to basic tools of supersymmetry: the spacetime symmetries, gauge theory and its application in gravity, spinors and superalgebras. Special attention is devoted to conformal and anti-de Sitter algebras.

We obtain a unification of two refinements of Euler's partition theorem respectively due to Bessenrodt and Glaisher. A specialization of Bessenrodt's insertion algorithm for a generalization of the Andrews-Olsson partition identity is used…

We establish the conditions under which a conservation law associated with a non-invertible operator may be realized as a symmetry in quantum physics. As established by Wigner, all quantum symmetries must be represented by either unitary or…

This expository note presents a constructive proof of Wigner's theorem using only a few basic facts about Hilbert spaces, such as the existence of orthonormal bases and the Fourier decomposition of a vector. Our proof is based on a proof by…

The non-bijective version of Wigner's theorem states that a map which is defined on the set of self-adjoint, rank-one projections (or pure states) of a complex Hilbert space and which preserves the transition probability between any two…
