We investigate the combinatorial interplay between automorphisms and opposition in (primarily finite) generalised polygons. We provide restrictions on the fixed element structures of automorphisms of a generalised polygon mapping no chamber…
It is well-known that point-set topology (without additional structure) lacks the capacity to generalize the analytic concepts of completeness, boundedness, and other typically-metric properties. The ability of metric spaces to capture this…
We construct a space $G^n_X$ and a rank $n$, generically etale family of closed subspaces in a separated ambient space $X$. The constructed pair satisfies a universal property of generically etale families of closed subspaces in $X$. This…
We explicitly construct the Rigged Hilbert Space (RHS) of the free Hamiltonian $H_0$. The construction of the RHS of $H_0$ provides yet another opportunity to see that when continuous spectrum is present, the solutions of the Schrodinger…
Although negative energy densities are predicted by relativistic quantum field theories, I present an argument that an "operational" positivity still holds: the energy in a region, plus the energy of an isolated device which traps or…
In this note, we unify and extend various concepts in the area of $G$-complete reducibility, where $G$ is a reductive algebraic group. By results of Serre and Bate--Martin--R\"{o}hrle, the usual notion of $G$-complete reducibility can be…
Naturally reductive spaces, in general, can be seen as an adequate generalization of Riemannian symmetric spaces. Nevertheless, there are some that are closer to symmetric spaces than others. On the one hand, there is the series of Hopf…
In this short note, we introduce a generalization of the canonical base property, called transfer of internality on quotients. A structural study of groups definable in theories with this property yields as a consequence infinitely many new…
Generalized topological spaces in the sense of Cs\'{a}sz\'{a}r have two main features which distinguish them from typical topologies. First, these families of subsets are not closed under intersections. Second, we allow for the possibility…
Motivated by the well-known cases of the real Hilbert ball and complete R-trees, being both particular cases of CAT(-1) spaces, we give an affirmative answer to the question of whether the geodesically boundedness property is a necessary…
We exploit the hidden symmetry structure of a recently proposed non-Hermitian Hamiltonian and of its Hermitian equivalent one. This sheds new light on the pseudo-Hermitian character of the former and allows access to a generalized quantum…
We give a negative answer to a question proposed in [3], regarding the $h$-vector of ($S_r$) simplicial complexes.
In this paper, we study the singularities of a general hyperplane section $H$ of a three-dimensional quasi-projective variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. We prove that if $X$ has only canonical…
A group $G$ is called to be acceptable (due to M. Larsen) if for any finite group $H$, two element-conjugate homomorphisms are globally conjugate. We answer the acceptability question for general linear, special linear, unitary, symplectic…
In this paper we investigate a Gaussian average property of Banach spaces. This property is weaker than the Gordon Lewis property but closely related to this and other unconditional structures. It is also shown that this property implies…
In this paper we shall prove that any $2$-transitive finitely homogeneous structure with a supersimple theory satisfying a generalized amalgamation property is a random structure. In particular, this adapts a result of Koponen for binary…
If quantum gravity respects the principles of quantum mechanics, suitably generalized, it may be that a more viable approach to the theory is through identifying the relevant quantum structures rather than by quantizing classical spacetime.…
A key test for any quasi-local energy in general relativity is that it be nonnegative and satisfy a rigidity property; if it vanishes, the region enclosed is flat. We show that the Hawking energy, when evaluated on its natural…
We disprove Hitchin's conjecture to the effect that for a generic complex structure on a simply connected spin complex surface the square root of the canonical bundle has no more cohomology then is predicted by the Riemann--Roch theorem.…
The Hurewicz property is a classical generalization of $\sigma$-compactness and Sierpi\'nski sets (whose existence follows from CH) are standard examples of non-$\sigma$-compact Hurewicz spaces. We show, solving a problem stated by Szewczak…
