In this paper, we survey recent progress on the constructive theory of the Feynman operator calculus. (The theory is constructive in that, operators acting at different times, actually commute.) We first develop an operator version of the…

Commutative $d$-torsion $K$-theory is a variant of topological $K$-theory constructed from commuting unitary matrices of order dividing $d$. Such matrices appear as solutions of linear constraint systems that play a role in the study of…

We present a way of constructing a Quillen model structure on a full subcategory of an elementary topos, starting with an interval object with connections and a certain dominance. The advantage of this method is that it does not require the…

In type theory, coinductive types are used to represent processes, and are thus crucial for the formal verification of non-terminating reactive programs in proof assistants based on type theory, such as Coq and Agda. Currently, programming…

Central to the theory of special cube complexes is Haglund and Wise's construction of the canonical completion and retraction, which enables one to build finite covers of special cube complexes in a highly controlled manner. In this paper…

We identify a strong structural obstruction to Uniform Separation in constructive arithmetic. The mechanism is independent of semantic content; it emerges whenever two distinct evaluator predicates are sustained in parallel and inference…

We propose a discrete path integral formalism over graphs fundamental to quantum mechanics (QM) based on our interpretation of QM called Relational Blockworld (RBW). In our approach, the transition amplitude is not viewed as a sum over all…

Kendall's Similarity Shape Theory for constellations of points in the carrier space $\mathbb{R}^n$ was developed for use in Probability and Statistics. It was subsequently shown to reside within (Classical and Quantum) Mechanics'…

This work develops a nonlinear analogue of alternating projections on Hilbert space, based on iterating a weighted residual transformation that removes the portion of an operator detected by a projection after conjugation by its square…

We introduce the notion of abstract angle at a couple of points defined by two radial foliations of the closed annulus. We use this notion to give unified proofs of some classical results on area preserving positive twist maps of the…

We give a general technique for constructing a functorial choice of very good paths objects, which can be used to implement identity types in models of type theories in direct manner with little reliance on general coherence results. We…

Density operators are one of the key ingredients of quantum theory. They can be constructed in two ways: via a convex sum of 'doubled kets' (i.e. mixing), and by tracing out part of a 'doubled' two-system ket (i.e. dilation). Both…

We show that discrete and classical homotopy theories are equivalent after localizing at n-equivalences for any non-negative integer n. By constructing an explicit homotopy inverse to the graph nerve functor associating an n-fibrant cubical…

There is a construction which lies at the heart of descent theory. The combinatorial aspects of this paper concern the description of the construction in all dimensions. The description is achieved precisely for strict n-categories and…

We construct several examples where duality transformation commutes with the orbifolding procedure even when the orbifolding group does not act freely, and there are massless states from the twisted sector at a generic point in the moduli…

We develop a mutation theory for quivers with oriented 2-cycles using a structure called a homotopy, defined as a normal subgroupoid of the quiver's fundamental groupoid. This framework extends Fomin-Zelevinsky mutations of 2-acyclic…
