We present a system of axioms motivated by a topological intuition: The set of subsets of any set is a topology on that set. On the one hand, this system is a common weakening of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory ZF, the positive set theory GPK…
We consider fragments of uniform reflection for formulas in the analytic hierarchy over theories of second order arithmetic. The main result is that for any second order arithmetic theory $T_0$ extending ${\sf RCA}_0$ and axiomatizable by a…
This work is motivated by the problem of finding the limit of the applicability of the first incompleteness theorem ($\sf G1$). A natural question is: can we find a minimal theory for which $\sf G1$ holds? We examine the Turing degree…
We generalize first-species counterpoint theory to arbitrary rings and obtain some new counting and maximization results that enrich the theory of admitted successors, pointing to a structural approach, beyond computations. The…
In this paper, we give the explicit bounds for the data of objects involved in some basic theorems of Singularity theory: the Inverse, Implicit and Rank Theorems for Lipschitz mappings, Splitting Lemma and Morse Lemma, the density and…
We investigate the relative assembly map from the family of finite subgroups to the family of virtually cyclic subgroups for the algebraic $K$-theory of twisted group rings of a group G with coefficients in a regular ring R or, more…
Extensions of real numbers in more than two dimensions, in particular quaternions and octonions are finding applications in physics due to the fact that they naturally capture certain symmetries of physical systems. Here it is shown that…
The doubled formulation of the worldsheet provides a description of string theory in which T-duality is promoted to a manifest symmetry. Here we extend this approach to $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ superspace providing a doubled formulation for…
Let $G$ be a finite group. Then there exists a first-order statement $S(G)$ in the language of rings without parameters and depending only on $G$ such that, for any field $K$, we have that $K\models S(G)$ if and only if $K$ has a Galois…
Suppose L = {<, . . .} is any countable first order language in which < is interpreted as a linear order. Let T be any complete first order theory in the language L such that T has a kappa-like model where kappa is an inaccessible cardinal.…
The well-known Lawvere category R of extended real positive numbers comes with a monoidal closed structure where the tensor product is the sum. But R has another such structure, given by multiplication, which is *-autonomous. Normed sets,…
We reformulate a result of Bernhard Keller on extensions of $t$-structures and give a detailed proof. In the study of hereditary $t$-structures, the notions of regular $t$-structures and global dimensions arise naturally.
We develop the theory of mixed finite elements in terms of special inverse systems of complexes of differential forms, defined over cellular complexes. Inclusion of cells corresponds to pullback of forms. The theory covers for instance…
By a [$K$-]approximate subring of a ring we mean an additively symmetric subset $X$ such that $X \cdot X \cup (X + X)$ is covered by finitely many [resp.\ $K$] additive translates of $X$. We prove a structure theorem for finite approximate…
We provide a version of the celebrated theorem of Koml\'os in which, rather then random quantities, a sequence of finitely additive measures is considered. We obtain a form of the subsequence principle and some applications.
RO*-algebras are defined and studied. For RO*-algebra T, using properties of partial order, it is established that the set of bounded elements can be endowed with C*-norm. The structure of commutative subalgebras of T is considered and the…
We argue that it is possible to maintain both supersymmetry and integrability in the boundary tricritical Ising field theory. Indeed, we find two sets of boundary conditions and corresponding boundary perturbations which are both…
Type II string theory and M-theory admit flux configurations that break supersymmetry below the Kaluza-Klein scale. These backgrounds play a central role in most models of the string landscape. I argue that the behavior of such backgrounds…
We investigate the question: what structures of numbers (as physical quantities) are suitable to be used in special relativity? The answer to this question depends strongly on the auxiliary assumptions we add to the basic assumptions of…
Suppose $T$ and $S$ are bounded adjointable operators between Hilbert C*-modules admitting bounded Moore-Penrose inverse operators. Some necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the reverse order law $(TS)^{ \dag} =S^{ \dag} T^{…
