We identify a number of decidable and undecidable fragments of first-order concatenation theory. We also give a purely universal axiomatization which is complete for the fragments we identify. Furthermore, we prove some normal-form results.
We define \textit{graded manifolds} as a version of supermanifolds endowed with an additional $\mathbb Z$-grading in the structure sheaf, called \textit{weight} (not linked with parity). Examples are ordinary supermanifolds, vector bundles…
This supplementary part of the paper gr-qc 9312038 contains the necessary proofs of the claims stated in the main part.
The aim of this article is twofold. First, we shall review and analyse the Neo-Kantian justification for the application of probabilistic concepts in physics that was defended by Hans Reichenbach early in his career, notably in his…
These notes are an introduction to symplectic groupoids and the double structures associated with them. The treatment is intended to lie about midway between the original account of Coste, Dazord and Weinstein, which relied on effective use…
We show that the universal measuring coalgebras between Frobenius algebras turn the category of Frobenius algebras into a Hopf category (in the sense of Batista-Caenepeel-Vercruysse), and the universal comeasuring algebras between Frobenius…
Traditionally, Hodge structures are associated with complex projective varieties. In my expository lectures I discussed a non-commutative generalization of Hodge structures in deformation quantization and in derived algebraic geometry.
C. Bonnaf{\'e}, M. Geck, L. Iancu, and T. Lam have conjectured a description of one-sided cells in unequal parameter Hecke algebras of type $B$ which is based on domino tableaux of arbitrary rank. In the integer case, this generalizes the…
In this article, we study the vanishing order of solutions to second order elliptic equations with singular lower order terms in the plane. In particular, we derive lower bounds for solutions on arbitrarily small balls in terms of the…
Variations on the notions of Reedy model structures and projective model structures on categories of diagrams in a model category are introduced. These allow one to choose only a subset of the entries when defining weak equivalences, or to…
For relational monadic formulas (the L\"owenheim class) second-order quantifier elimination, which is closely related to computation of uniform interpolants, projection and forgetting - operations that currently receive much attention in…
We develop the formalism of double Poisson vertex algebras (local and non-local) aimed at the study of non-commutative Hamiltionan PDEs. This is a generalization of the theory of double Poisson algebras, developed by Van den Bergh, which is…
The main aim of this paper is to introduce some examples of non-compact locally compact quantum groups to a non-specialized audience. The major importance of these examples is their simplicity. Other examples as the quantum E(2) group of…
A simple formal recasting of well known arguments concerning the ordering problems of General Relativity allows to obtain in such a context a Gr\"{o}enewald Van Hove like theorem.
We provide some comments on the article `High-dimensional simultaneous inference with the bootstrap' by Ruben Dezeure, Peter Buhlmann and Cun-Hui Zhang.
In \cite{S} O. Schiffmann gave a presentation of the Drinfel'd double of the elliptic Hall algebra which is similar in spirit to Drinfel'd's new realization of quantum affine algebras. Using this result together with a part of his proof we…
Universal extensions arise naturally in the Auslander bijections. For an abelian category having Auslander-Reiten duality, we exploit a bijection triangle, which involves the Auslander bijections, universal extensions and the…
The aim of this article is to explain a philosophy for applying higher dimensional Seifert-van Kampen Theorems, and how the use of groupoids and strict higher groupoids resolves some foundational anomalies in algebraic topology at the…
We review the key steps of the construction of Levin-Wen type of models on lattices with boundaries and defects of codimension 1,2,3 in a joint work with Alexei Kitaev. We emphasize some universal properties, such as boundary-bulk duality…
