Let $V$ and $W$ be quiver representations over $\mathbb{F}_1$ and let $K$ be a field. The scalar extensions $V^K$ and $W^K$ are quiver representations over $K$ with a distinguished, very well-behaved basis. We construct a basis of…

An algebraic extension K of the rationals has the Bogomolov property if the absolute logarithmic height of non-torsion points of K* is bounded away from 0. We define a relative extension L/K to be Bogomolov if this holds for points of L\K.…

In general the multiplicity one theorem fails for Fourier-Jacobi models over finite fields. In this paper we prove that there is an upper bound for the multiplicities of Fourier-Jacobi models which is independent of $q$. As a consequence,…

A novel theoretical approach to the problem of the compositeness ($X$) of a resonance or bound state is developed on the basis of the expectation values of the number operators of the free particles in the continuum. This formalism is…

Extensive research in the field of ontology-based query answering has led to the identification of numerous fragments of existential rules (also known as tuple-generating dependencies) that exhibit decidable answering of atomic and…

We study extension operators between spaces $\sigma_n(2^X)$ of subsets of $X$ of cardinality at most $n$. As an application, we show that if $B_H$ is the unit ball of a nonseparable Hilbert space $H$, equipped with the weak topology, then,…

This paper proves comparison principles for elliptic PDE involving the Finsler infinity Laplacian, a second-order differential operator with discontinuities in the gradient variable arising in $L^{\infty}$-variational problems and…

Extended Wigner's friend no-go theorems provide a modern lens for investigating the measurement problem, by making precise the challenges that arise when one attempts to model agents as dynamical quantum systems. Most such no-go theorems…

In this note, we show that, despite the widespread assumption, the consistency formula for Peano Arithmetic PA, Con(PA), "for all x, x is not a code of a derivation of (0=1)," is not equivalent in PA to the consistency of PA. Specifically,…

We calculate the $m_\varrho / f_\pi$ ratio in the chiral and continuum limit for $SU(3)$ gauge theory coupled to $N_f = 2,3,4,5,6$ fermions in the fundamental representation. Keeping all systematic effects under full control we find no…

This paper and [29] treat the existence and nonexistence of stable weak solutions to a fractional Hardy--H\'enon equation $(-\Delta)^s u = |x|^\ell |u|^{p-1} u$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, where $0 < s < 1$, $\ell > -2s$, $p>1$, $N \geq 1$ and $N >…

We explore "semibounded" expansions of arbitrary ordered groups; namely, expansions that do not define a field on the whole universe. We show that if $\mathcal R=\langle R, <, +, \dots\rangle$ is a semibounded o-minimal structure and…

For a simplicial complex $\Delta$, we introduce a simplicial complex attached to $\Delta$, called the expansion of $\Delta$, which is a natural generalization of the notion of expansion in graph theory. We are interested in knowing how the…

In this paper we study differentiability properties of the map $T\mapsto\phi(T)$, where $\phi$ is a given function in the disk-algebra and $T$ ranges over the set of contractions on Hilbert space. We obtain sharp conditions (in terms of…

We add an analytic trans-exponential function $\varphi$ to $\mathbb{R}_{an,\exp}$. We reduce the o-minimality of $\mathbb{R}_{an,\exp,\varphi}$ to the existence of "many" regular values for some definable systems of functions, which is a…

The extended de Finetti theorem characterizes exchangeable infinite random sequences as conditionally i.i.d. and shows that the apparently weaker distributional symmetry of spreadability is equivalent to exchangeability. Our main result is…

A general formula in closed form to obtain exact similarity solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation with both time-dependent drift and diffusion coefficients was recently presented by Lin and Ho [ Ann. Phys. \textbf{327}, 386 (2012); J.…

We consider the space of smooth gradient expanding Ricci soliton structures on $S^1 \times \mathbb{R}^3$ and $S^2 \times \mathbb{R}^2$ which are invariant under the action of $\text{SO}(3) \times \text{SO}(2)$. In the case of each topology,…

Harvey Friedman shows that, over Peano Arithmetic, the consistency statement for a finitely axiomatised theory $A$ can be characterised as the weakest statement $C$ over Peano Arithmetic such that ${\sf PA}+C$ interprets $A$. We study which…

We study a class of time-dependent (TD) non-Hermitian Hamiltonians $H(t)$ that can be transformed into a time-independent pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian $\mathcal{H}_{0}^{PH}$ using a suitable TD unitary transformation $F(t)$. The latter can…
