We study the consistency of having Lorentz invariance as a low energy approximation within the quantum field theory framework. A model with a scalar and a fermion field is used to show how a Lorentz invariance violating high momentum scale,…
Selective ultrafilters are characterized by many equivalent properties, in particular the Ramsey property that every finite colouring of unordered pairs of integers has a homogeneous set in U, and the equivalent property that every function…
In this paper, we give the definition of {\em weakly locally finite} division rings and we show that the class of these rings strictly contains the class of locally finite division rings. Further, we study multiplicative subgroups in these…
We introduce the category of finite strings and study its basic properties. The category is closely related to the augmented simplex category, and it models categories of linear representations. Each lattice of non-crossing partitions…
Let $\alpha$ be a complex number. We show that there is a finite subset $F$ of the ring of the rational integers $\mathbb{Z}$, such that $F\left[ \alpha\right] =\mathbb{Z}\left[ \alpha\right]$, if and only if $\alpha$ is an algebraic number…
We summarize several results about non-simplicity, solvability and normal structure of finite groups related to the number of conjugacy classes appearing in the product or the power of conjugacy classes. We also collect some problems that…
In previous work we proved that for a SU(2,C) valued loop having the critical degree of smoothness (one half of a derivative in the L^2 Sobolev sense), the following are equivalent: (1) the Toeplitz and shifted Toeplitz operators associated…
We investigate connections between various rigidity and softness properties for discrete quantum groups. After introducing a notion of residual finiteness, we show that it implies the Kirchberg factorization property for the discrete…
Almost all known theories of quantum gravity satisfy the Lattice Weak Gravity Conjecture (LWGC), which posits that a consistent theory of quantum gravity must have a superextremal particle at every site in the charge lattice. However, a…
We give a general construction for right conjugacy closed loops, using $GL(2,q)$ for $q$ a prime power. Under certain conditions, the loops constructed are simple, giving the first general construction for finite, simple right conjugacy…
We introduce and study weak o-minimality in the context of complete types in an arbitrary first-order theory. A type $p\in S(A)$ is weakly o-minimal if for some relatively $A$-definable linear order, $<$, on $p(\mathfrak{C})$ every…
Linear codes have been an interesting subject of study for many years, as linear codes with few weights have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, a class of…
A classification is given for factorizations of almost simple groups with at least one factor solvable, and it is then applied to characterize $s$-arc-transitive Cayley graphs of solvable groups, leading to a striking corollary: Except the…
Motivated by applications to string processing, we introduce variants of the Lyndon factorization called inverse Lyndon factorizations. Their factors, named inverse Lyndon words, are in a class that strictly contains anti-Lyndon words, that…
For an $n$-by-$n$ matrix $A$, let $f_A$ be its "field of values generating function" defined as $f_A\colon x\mapsto x^*Ax$. We consider two natural versions of the continuity, which we call strong and weak, of $f_A^{-1}$ (which is of course…
We study a class of weakly coupled Hamilton-Jacobi systems with a specific aim to perform a qualitative analysis in the spirit of weak KAM theory. Our main achievement is the definition of a family of related action functionals containing…
We study incidence properties among cosets of finite loops, with emphasis on well-structured varieties such as antiautomorphic loops and Bol loops. While cosets in groups are either disjoint or identical, we find that the incidence…
We investigate finite groups with the Magnus Property, where a group is said to have the Magnus Property (MP) if whenever two elements have the same normal closure then they are conjugate or inverse conjugate. In particular we observe that…
A variety V has Boolean factor congruences (BFC) if the set of factor congruences of every algebra in V is a distributive sublattice of its congruence lattice; this property holds in rings with unit and in every variety which has a…
It is shown that a finitely generated branch group has Serre's property (FA) if and only if it does not surject onto the infinite cyclic group or the infinite dihedral group. An example of a finitely generated self-similar branch group…
