Liouville's theorem says that in dimension greater than two, all conformal maps are M\"obius transformations. We prove an analogous statement about simplicial complexes, where two simplicial complexes are considered discretely conformally…

For our purposes, two functors {\Lambda} and {\Gamma} are said to be respectively left and right adjoints of each other if for any digraphs G and H, there exists a homomorphism of {\Lambda}(G) to H if and only if there exists a homomorphism…

Magnitude is a numerical invariant of compact metric spaces, originally inspired by category theory and now known to be related to myriad other geometric quantities. Generalizing earlier results in $\ell_1^n$ and Euclidean space, we prove…

Two observables are called complementary if preparing a physical object in an eigenstate of one of them yields a completely random result in a measurement of the other. We investigate small sets of complementary observables that cannot be…

Associativity of a two-place function $T: [0,1]^2\rightarrow [0,1]$ defined by $T(x,y)=f^{(-1)}(F(f(x),f(y)))$ where $F:[0,\infty]^2\rightarrow[0,\infty]$ is an associative function, $f: [0,1]\rightarrow [0,\infty]$ is a monotone function…

Evidence for fine-tuning of physical parameters suitable for life can perhaps be explained by almost any combination of providence, coincidence or multiverse. A multiverse usually includes parts unobservable to us, but if the theory for it…

A new class of functions with a unique identification minor is introduced: functions determined by content and singletons. Relationships between this class with other known classes of functions with a unique identification minor are…

Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system, and $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_+$. $(X,T)$ is strongly $\mathcal{F}$-sensitive, if there is $\delta>0$ such that for each non-empty open subset $U$, there are $x,y\in…

Observables of a quantum system, described by self-adjoint operators in a von Neumann algebra or affiliated with it in the unbounded case, form a conditionally complete lattice when equipped with the spectral order. Using this…

Symmetric product orbifold theories are valuable due to their universal features at large $N$. Here we will demonstrate that they have features that are not as pervasive: we provide evidence of strange behaviour under deformations within…

Categories can be identified -- up to isomorphism -- with polynomial comonads on Set. The left Kan extension of a functor along itself is always a comonad -- called the density comonad -- so it defines a category when its carrier is…

Locales have been studied as "topologies without points", mainly by tools of category theory. While traditional topology presents a space as a set of points with specified neighborhoods, localic topology presents a space as a lattice of…

We show that any second-countable \'etale groupoid with polynomial growth is topologically amenable. If its unit space is compact and metrizable, we show that the groupoid has weak $m$-comparison. Thus if the groupoid is also ample and…

Tate objects have been studied by many authors. They allow us to deal with infinite dimensional spaces by identifying some more structure. In this article, we set up the theory of Tate objects in stable $(\infty,1)$-categories, while the…

We introduce the notion of first order amenability, as a property of a first order theory $T$: every complete type over $\emptyset$, in possibly infinitely many variables, extends to an automorphism-invariant global Keisler measure in the…

We use the theory of motivic integration for singular spaces to give a characterization of minimal log discrepencies in terms of the codimension of certain subsets of spaces of arcs. This is done for arbitrary pairs $(X,Y)$, with $X$ normal…

The work is devoted to the study of the similarity of a correct restriction to some self-adjoint operator in the case when the minimal operator is symmetric. The resulting theorem was applied to the Sturm-Liouville operator and the Laplace…

Two adjoint functors can be seen as generalisations of the two functions within a Galois connection. If instead the adjoints are not generalised from functions, but from relations, then analogously the object of study becomes a more general…

There are many category-theoretic notions of algebraic theory, including Lawvere theories, monads, PROPs and operads. The first central notion of this thesis is a common generalisation of these, which we call a proto-theory. In order to…

We develop new techniques for constructing model structures from a given class of cofibrations, together with a class of fibrant objects and a choice of weak equivalences between them. As a special case, we obtain a more flexible version of…
