Some PARI programs have bringed out a property for the non-genus part of the class number of the imaginary quadratic fields, with respect to $(\sqrt D\,)^{\varepsilon}$, where $D$ is the absolute value of the discriminant and $\varepsilon…
We show that rings of $S$-integers of a global function field $K$ of odd characteristic are first-order universally definable in $K$. This extends work of Koenigsmann and Park who showed the same for $\mathbb{Z}$ in $\mathbb{Q}$ and the…
Order types are a well known abstraction of combinatorial properties of a point set. By Mn\"ev's universality theorem for each semi-algebraic set $V$ there is an order type with a realization space that is \emph{stably equivalent} to $V$.…
In 1907, Hans Hahn proved the remarkable fact that any ordered group can be embedded in an ordered real function space. This set the stage for work on ordered groups and fields, and this area received valuable contributions from Levi-Civita…
For every odd integer $n \geq 3$, we prove that there exist infinitely many number fields of degree $n$ and associated Galois group $S_n$ whose class number is odd. To do so, we study the class groups of families of number fields of degree…
This paper presents a graded hierarchy or chain of binary operations on the reals and the complex numbers. The operations are related distributively in the sense that any one of them distributes over the next lower operation in the chain.…
In this paper we will give a scheme-theoretic discussion on the unramified extensions of an arithmetic function field in several variables. The notion of unramified discussed here is parallel to that in algebraic number theory and for the…
In 4D renormalisable theories, integrating out massive states generates in the low energy effective action higher dimensional operators (derivative or otherwise). Using a superfield language it is shown that a 4D N=1 supersymmetric theory…
The paper deals with two issues: the existence of universal models of a theory T and related properties when cardinal arithmetic does not give this existence offhand. In the first section we prove that simple theories (e.g., theories…
We consider the operator spectrum of a three-dimensional ${\cal N} = 2$ superconformal field theory with moduli spaces of one complex dimension, such as the fixed point theory with three chiral superfields $X,Y,Z$ and a superpotential $W =…
Given a random real quadratic field from $\{ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p}\,) ~|~ p \text{ primes} \}$, the conjectural probability $\mathbb{P}(h=q)$ that it has class number $q$ is given for all positive odd integers $q$. Some related conjectures of…
The basic one in this work is the axiomatic set theory $NBG$ (von Neumann-Bernays-G{\"o}del), which is a first-order theory with its own axioms, including in particular the axiom of choice ${\bf AC}$ and the axiom of regularity ${\bf RA}$.…
Quantum field theories with quenched disorder are so hard to study that even exactly solvable free theories present puzzling aspects. We consider a free scalar field $\phi$ in $d$ dimensions coupled to a random source $h$ with quenched…
Given a real number $0.a_1a_2 a_3\dots$ that is normal to base $b$, we examine increasing sequences $n_i$ so that the number $0.a_{n_1}a_{n_2}a_{n_3}\dots$ are normal to base $b$. Classically it is known that if the $n_i$ form an arithmetic…
Motivated by the Goldbach conjecture in Number Theory and the abelian bosonization mechanism on a cylindrical two-dimensional spacetime we study the reconstruction of a real scalar field as a product of two real fermion (so-called…
Over the last few years, it was realised that non-canonical scalar fields can lead to the accelerated expansion in the early universe. The primordial spectrum in these scenarios not only shows near scale-invariance consistent with CMB…
Direct verification of the existence of an infinite set of multicritical non-perturbative FPs (Fixed Points) for a single scalar field in two dimensions, is in practice well outside the capabilities of the present standard approximate…
Let $\mathbb{T}$ be the differential field of logarithmic-exponential transseries. We consider the expansion of $\mathbb{T}$ by the binary map that sends a real number $r$ and a positive transseries $f$ to the transseries $f^r$. Building on…
We renormalize models with scalar chiral superfields with an odd superpotential to several orders in perturbation theory. These extensions of the cubic Wess-Zumino model are renormalizable in spacetime dimensions which are rational. When…
Abelian vector fields non-minimally coupled to uncharged scalar fields arise in many contexts. We investigate here through algebraic methods their consistent deformations ("gaugings"), i.e., the deformations that preserve the number (but…
