We show that there can be no algorithm to decide whether infinite recursively described acyclic aspherical 2-complexes are contractible. We construct such a complex that is contractible if and only if the Collatz conjecture holds.

Given a functor from any category into the category of topological spaces, one obtains a linear representation of the category by post-composing the given functor with a homology functor with field coefficients. This construction is…

We prove, for stably computably enumerable formal systems, direct analogues of the first and second incompleteness theorems of G\"odel. A typical stably computably enumerable set is the set of Diophantine equations with no integer…

There are three main results in this paper. First, we find an easily computable and simple condition which is necessary and sufficient for a commuting tuple of contractions to possess a non-zero Toeplitz operator. This condition is just…

We study definably complete locally o-minimal expansions of ordered groups in this paper. A definable continuous function defined on a closed, bounded and definable set behave like a continuous function on a compact set. We demonstrate…

We construct a H\"older continuous function on the unit interval which coincides in uncountably (in fact continuum) many points with every function of total variation smaller than 1 passing through the origin. We say that a function with…

We study extension theorems for Lipschitz-type operators acting on metric spaces and with values on spaces of integrable functions. Pointwise domination is not a natural feature of such spaces, and so almost everywhere inequalities and…

Consider the semialgebraic structure over the real field. More generally, let an ominimal structure be over a real closed field. We show that a definable metric space X with a definable metric d is embedded into a Euclidean space so that…

An attempt to come closer to a resolution of the Collatz conjecture is presented. The central idea is the formation of a tree consisting of positive odd numbers with number 1 as root. Functions for generating the tree from the root are…

Euler discovered a formula for expressing the value of the Riemann zeta function for all even positive integer arguments. A closed-form expression for the Riemann zeta function for all odd integer arguments, based on the values of the…

We prove that any closed map between metrizable spaces can be extended to a closed map between completely metrizable spaces with the same extensional dimension.

We indicate a way of distinguishing between structures, for which, two structures are said to be separable.Being separable implies being non-isomorphic. We show that for any first order theory $T$ in a countable language, if it has an…

It is consistent with constructive set theory (without Countable Choice, clearly) that the Cauchy reals (equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences of rationals) are not Cauchy complete. Related results are also shown, such as that a Cauchy…

It is well known that the Taylor series expansion of $(1+ z)^{A}$ does not converge for $|z|>1$ where A is a real number which is not equal to zero or a positive integer. A limited series expansion of this expression is obtained in this…

In constructive algebra one cannot in general decide the irreducibility of a polynomial over a field K. This poses some problems to showing the existence of the algebraic closure of K. We give a possible constructive interpretation of the…

Let n be a positive integer, and let R be a finitely presented (but not necessarily finite dimensional) associative algebra over a computable field. We examine algorithmic tests for deciding (1) if every n-dimensional representation of R is…

Applying the solution to the Kadison-Singer problem, we show that every subset $\mathcal{S}$ of the torus of positive Lebesgue measure admits a Riesz sequence of exponentials $\left\{ e^{i\lambda x}\right\} _{\lambda \in \Lambda}$ such that…

A topological space $X$ is called resolvable if it contains a dense subset with dense complement. Using only basic principles, we show that whenever the space $X$ has a resolving subset that can be written as an at most countably infinite…

Using a modification of a generalized Takagi-van der Waerden function on a metric space we prove that for any closed subset of a metric space without isolated points there exists a continuous function such that its big and local Lipschitz…

We define extension maps as maps that extend a system (through adding ancillary systems) without changing the state in the original system. We show, using extension maps, why a completely positive operation on an initially entangled system…
