We show that a strong form of the so called Lindstrom's Theorem fails to generalize to extensions of L_{kappa,omega} and L_{kappa,kappa}: For weakly compact kappa there is no strongest extension of L_{kappa,omega} with the…
In this paper we present the following two results: we give an explicit description of the space of orderings of the field Q(x) as an inverse limit of finite spaces of orderings and we provide a new, simple proof of the fact that the class…
We show that although the Galvin-Prikry Theorem does not hold on generalized Baire space with the standard topology, there are similar theorems which do hold on generalized Baire space with certain coarser topologies.
We develop a complexity theory for approximate real computations. We first produce a theory for exact computations but with condition numbers. The input size depends on a condition number, which is not assumed known by the machine. The…
Conventional wisdom holds that static disorder is indispensable to the integer quantum Hall effect, underpinning both quantized plateaus and the plateau-plateau transition. We show that pure dephasing, without elastic disorder, is…
This study of gauge field theories on kappa-deformed Minkowski spacetime extends previous work on field theories on this example of a noncommutative spacetime. We construct deformed gauge theories for arbitrary compact Lie groups using the…
We survey several applications of fixed point theorems in the theory of invariant subspaces. The general idea is that a fixed point theorem applied to a suitable map yields the existence of invariant subspaces for an operator on a Banach…
The aim of these notes is to present a self contained account of discrete weak KAM theory. Put aside the intrinsic elegance of this theory, it is also a toy model for classical weak KAM theory, where many technical difficulties disappear,…
We present a theory that produces several examples where the homotopy Lie algebra of a complex hyperplane arrangement is not finitely presented. We also present examples of hyperplane arrangements where the enveloping algebra of this Lie…
We construct a generalization of the quantum Hall effect, where particles move in four dimensional space under a SU(2) gauge field. This system has a macroscopic number of degenerate single particle states. At appropriate integer or…
Recent experimental progress in condensed matter physics enables the observation of signatures of the parity anomaly in two-dimensional Dirac-like materials. Using effective field theories and analyzing band structures in external…
Following recent work on the quantum Hall effect on $S^4$, we solve the Landau problem on the complex projective spaces ${\bf C}P^k$ and discuss quantum Hall states for such spaces. Unlike the case of $S^4$, a finite spatial density can be…
Green's theorem states that the Hall algebra of the category of representations of a quiver over a finite field is a twisted bialgebra. Considering instead categories of orthogonal or symplectic quiver representations leads to a class of…
The suspicion that the existence of a minimal uncertainty in position measurements violates Lorentz invariance seems unfounded. It is shown that the existence of such a nonzero minimal uncertainty in position is not only consistent with…
We present an abstract KAM theorem, adapted to space-multidimensional hamiltonian PDEs with smoothing non-linearities. The main novelties of this theorem are that: $\bullet$ the integrable part of the hamiltonian may contain a hyperbolic…
We construct two families of examples of pro-p groups, with rather elementary presentations, that do not complete into 1-cyclotomic oriented pro-p groups. These provide brand new examples of pro-p groups that do not occur as maximal pro-p…
In the paper it is demonstrated that Bells theorem is an unprovable theorem.
We present an explicit example showing that the weak Gauss law of general relativity (with cosmological constant) fails in Einstein-Cartan's theory. We take this as an indication that torsion might replace dark matter.

We prove a sharp quantitative version of Hales' isoperimetric honeycomb theorem by exploiting a quantitative isoperimetric inequality for polygons and an improved convergence theorem for planar bubble clusters. Further applications include…
