A balanced pair in an ordered set $P=(V,\leq)$ is a pair $(x,y)$ of elements of $V$ such that the proportion of linear extensions of $P$ that put $x$ before $y$ is in the real interval $[1/3, 2/3]$. We define the notion of a good pair and…
We give a critical analysis of the conceptual foundations of special relativity. We formulate a simple operational criterion for distinguishing between noninertial and inertial frames which is introduced prior to geometry. We associate the…
In this paper we first introduce the unified definition of the sharp constant that includes constants in three major problems of approximation theory, such as, inequalities for approximating elements, approximation of individual elements,…
The aim of this paper is to review and discuss qualitatively some results on the properties of amorphous packings of hard spheres that were recently obtained by means of the replica method. The theory gives predictions for the equation of…
Starting from the definition of a stiffness matrix, the authors present a new formulation of the Cartesian stiffness matrix of parallel mechanisms. The proposed formulation is more general than any other stiffness matrix found in the…
We study models M of set theory that are "condensable", in the sense that there is an "ordinal" v of M such that the rank initial segment of M determined by v is both isomorphic to M, and also an elementary submodel of M for infinitary…
This survey contains a selection of topics unified by the concept of positive semi-definiteness (of matrices or kernels), reflecting natural constraints imposed on discrete data (graphs or networks) or continuous objects (probability or…
It is shown that the series of renormalon--type graphs, which consist in the chain of insertions to one soft(hard) gluon(photon) line is in fact ill defined. Each new type of insertions, which appears in the higher orders of perturbation…
This thesis consists of two parts, connected by one central theme: the dynamics of the "shape of space". The first part of the thesis concerns the construction of a theory of gravity dynamically equivalent to general relativity (GR) in 3+1…
We introduce tame abstract elementary classes as a generalization of all cases of abstract elementary classes that are known to permit development of stability-like theory. In this paper we explore stability results in this context. We…
We classify possible supersymmetry-preserving relevant, marginal, and irrelevant deformations of unitary superconformal theories in $d \geq 3$ dimensions. Our method only relies on symmetries and unitarity. Hence, the results are model…
This paper contributes to the set-theoretic side of understanding Keisler's order. We consider properties of ultrafilters which affect saturation of unstable theories: the lower cofinality $\lcf(\aleph_0, \de)$ of $\aleph_0$ modulo $\de$,…
In a countable superstable NDOP theory, the existence of a rigid aleph_epsilon-saturated model implies the existence of 2^lambda rigid aleph_epsilon-saturated models of power lambda for every lambda>2^{aleph_0}.
Suppose t = (T,T_1, p) is a triple of two theories T subset T_1 in vocabularies tau subset tau_1 (respectively) of cardinality lambda and a tau_1-type p over the empty set; in the main case here is with T stable. We show the Hanf number for…
Gravitational properties of a hedge-hog type topological defect in two extra dimensions are considered in General Relativity employing a vector as the order parameter. The developed macroscopic theory of phase transitions with spontaneous…
Static granular packings are model hard-sphere glass formers. The nature of glass transition has remained a hotly debated issue. We review recent experimental progresses in using granular materials to study glass transitions. We focus on…
We study the notions generic stability, regularity, homogeneous pregeometries, quasiminimality, and their mutual relations, in an arbitrary first order theory T. We prove that "infinite-dimensional homogeneous pregeometries" coincide with…
We revisit and sharpen the results from our previous work, where we investigated the regularity of the singular set of the free boundary in the nonlinear obstacle problem. As in the work of Figalli-Serra on the classical obstacle problem,…
In this paper we explore the representation property over sets. This property generalizes constructibility, however is weak enough to enable us to prove that the class of theories $T$ whose models are representable is exactly the class of…
The primary objective of this paper is to introduce Hyers-Ulam-type stability results for monotone, subadditive, and convex graphs. We consider their standard definitions in an approximate sense and demonstrate the existence of a…
