We survey certain accessible aspects of Grothendieck's theory of motives in arithmetic algebraic geometry for mathematical physicists, focussing on areas that have recently found applications in quantum field theory. An appendix (by Matilde…

In this Note we show that the notion of a basis of a finite-dimensional vector space could be introduced by an argument much weaker than Gauss' reduction method. Our aim is to give a short proof of a simply formulated lemma, which in fact…

In two previous papers, we exposed a combinatorial approach to the program of Geometry of Interaction, a program initiated by Jean-Yves Girard. The strength of our approach lies in the fact that we interpret proofs by simpler structures -…

Whether it be in normal form games, or in fair allocations, or in voter preferences in voting systems, a certain pattern of reasoning is common. From a particular profile, an agent or a group of agents may have an incentive to shift to a…

Subtraction games is a class of combinatorial games. It was solved since the Sprague-Grundy Theory was put forward. This paper described a new algorithm for subtraction games. The new algorithm can find win or lost positions in subtraction…

Game comonads, introduced by Abramsky, Dawar and Wang, and developed by Abramsky and Shah, give a categorical semantics for model comparison games. We present an axiomatic account of Feferman-Vaught-Mostowski (FVM) composition theorems…

Systems of fixpoint equations over complete lattices, consisting of (mixed) least and greatest fixpoint equations, allow one to express a number of verification tasks such as model-checking of various kinds of specification logics or the…

This paper introduces Logical Credal Networks, an expressive probabilistic logic that generalizes many prior models that combine logic and probability. Given imprecise information represented by probability bounds and conditional…

Game logic is a dynamic modal logic which models strategic two person games; it contains propositional dynamic logic (PDL) as a fragment. We propose an interpretation of game logic based on stochastic effectivity functions. A definition of…

We obtain similar types of conclusions as that of Br\"{u}ck [1] for two differential polynomials which in turn radically improve and generalize several existing results. Moreover, a number of examples have been exhibited to justify the…

We re-examine the old question to what extent mathematics may be compared with a game. Mainly inspired by Hilbert and Wittgenstein, our answer is that mathematics is something like a rhododendron of language games, where the rules are…

Geometric theories based on classical logic are conservative over their intuitionistic counterparts for geometric implications. The latter result (sometimes referred to as Barr's theorem) is squarely a consequence of Gentzen's Hauptsatz.…

In this paper we introduce a term calculus ${\cal B}$ which adds to the affine $\lambda$-calculus with pairing a new construct allowing for a restricted form of contraction. We obtain a Curry-Howard correspondence between ${\cal B}$ and the…

Debates about juridical proof are often framed as a conflict between probabilistic approaches and relative plausibility theory (RPT). This paper argues that this opposition rests on a level-of-analysis error. Drawing on Marr's distinction…

We show that the intuitionistic propositional logic with a Galois connection (IntGC), introduced by the authors, has the finite model property.

This paper investigates the performance of different general-game-playing heuristics for games in the Ludii general game system. Based on these results, we train several regression learning models to predict the performance of these…

An increasing number of scientific experiments support the view of perception as Bayesian inference, which is rooted in Helmholtz's view of perception as unconscious inference. Recent study of logic presents a view of logical reasoning as…

In this paper we study interpretations and equivalences of propositional deductive systems by using a quantale-theoretic approach introduced by Galatos and Tsinakis. Our aim is to provide a general order-theoretic framework which is able to…

Game boards are described in the Ludii general game system by their underlying graphs, based on tiling, shape and graph operators, with the automatic detection of important properties such as topological relationships between graph…

We survey Vojta's higher-dimensional generalizations of the $abc$ conjecture and Szpiro's conjecture as well as recent developments that apply them to various problems in arithmetic dynamics. In particular, the "$abcd$ conjecture" implies a…
