We introduce a new type of operad-like structure called a P-operad, which depends on the choice of some collection of posets P, and which is governed by chains in posets of P. We introduce several examples of such structures which are…

This work concerns scalar field theories with topologically nontrivial vacuum manifold in rotationally symmetric backgrounds of arbitrary dimension. Lagrangians with canonical and generalized kinetic terms are considered, and a Bogomol'nyi…

The standard theory of Banach spaces is built upon the notions of vector space, triangle inequality and Cauchy completeness. Here we propose a `hyperbolic' variant of this `elliptic' framework where general linear combinations are replaced…

Our main result is that any topological algebra based on a Boolean space is the extended Stone dual space of a certain associated Boolean algebra with additional operations. A particular case of this result is that the profinite completion…

Profinite algebras are the residually finite compact algebras; their underlying topological spaces are Stone spaces. We extend the theory of profinite algebras to a more general setting of Stone topological algebras. We introduce Stone…

It is shown that if $M$ is a strongly causal free of naked singularities space-time, then its causal structure is completely characterized by a partial order in the space of skies defined by means of a class non-negative Legendrian…

A method is developed to construct a non-local massless scalar field theory in a flat quantised space-time generated by an operator algebra. Implicit in the operator algebra is a fundamental length scale of the space-time. The fundamental…

In this talk a previous theorem on geodesic completeness of diagonal cylindrical spacetimes will be generalized to cope with the nondiagonal case. A sufficient condition for such spacetimes to be causally geodesically complete will be given

We investigate a generalization of topological order from closed systems to open systems, for which the steady states take the place of ground states. We construct typical lattice models with steady-state topological order, and characterize…

Inspired by some recent works of Tippett-Tsang and Mallary-Khanna-Price, we present a new spacetime model containing closed timelike curves (CTCs). This model is obtained postulating an ad hoc Lorentzian metric on $\mathbb{R}^4$, which…

The main purpose of this paper is to find the fixed point in such cases where existing literature remain silent. In this paper we introduce partial completeness, a new type of contraction and many other definitions. Using this approach the…

Generalized topological spaces in the sense of Cs\'{a}sz\'{a}r have two main features which distinguish them from typical topologies. First, these families of subsets are not closed under intersections. Second, we allow for the possibility…

Researchers have long been aiming to understand how the characteristics of Quantum Theory and General Relativity combine to account for regimes in their interface. One reason why this is a hard task is how differently the theories approach…

The paper is in the field of Region Based Theory of Space (RBTS), sometimes called mereotopology. RBTS is a kind of point-free theory of space based on the notion of region. Its origin goes back to some ideas of Whitehead, De Laguna and…

Orthogonality is a notion based on the duality between programs and their environments used to determine when they can be safely combined. For instance, it is a powerful tool to establish termination properties in classical formal systems.…

The causal set theory (CST) approach to quantum gravity postulates that at the most fundamental level, spacetime is discrete, with the spacetime continuum replaced by locally finite posets or "causal sets". The partial order on a causal set…
