This is an expanded version of my Shaw Prize Lecture delivered at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
This note recapitulates and expands the contents of a tutorial on the mathematical theory of algebraic effects and handlers which I gave at the Dagstuhl seminar 18172 "Algebraic effect handlers go mainstream". It is targeted roughly at the…
The problem of advancing coordinatization of mathematics is considered. The need to develop a theory for measuring value and complexity of mathematical implications and proofs is discussed including motivations, benefits and implementation…
This text surveys classical and recent results in the field of amenability of groups, from a combinatorial standpoint. It has served as the support of courses at the University of G\"ottingen and the \'Ecole Normale Sup\'erieure. The goals…
I was lucky to meet (and even cooperate at some extent) with Israel M. Gelfand, and tried to write down (mainly in 2003-2013) my recollections about his work style and lessons I learned from him about teaching and writing mathematics…
Leibniz scholarship is currently an area of lively debate. We respond to some recent criticisms by Archibald et al.
In this paper, I argue, contrary to the prevailing opinion in the linguistics and philosophy literature, that a sortal approach to aspectual composition can indeed be explanatory. In support of this view, I develop a synthesis of competing…
We prove dimension formulas for arihmetic sums of regular Cantor sets, and, more generally, for images of cartesian products of regular Cantor sets by differentiable real maps.
Free translation of the original abstract in Spanish: Some of the most relevant milestones due to, or instigated by, mathematicians concerning the creation, development and advances of Cosmology as a scientific discipline are presented and…
We give an overview of several of the mathematical works of Gilles Lachaud and provide a historical context. This is interspersed with some personal anecdotes highlighting many facets of his personality.
This study describes such a situation that a Cantor set emerges as a result of the exploration of sufficient conditions for the property which is generalized from fundamental chaotic maps, and the Cantor set even guarantees infinitely many…
The topic of this paper is the subtle interplay between countability and representations. In particular, we establish that the definition of countability of a certain set $X$ crucially hinges on the associated equivalence relation $=_{X}$.…
We propose several procedures for creating new families of integer sequences based on the method of Cantor diagonalization. Then we modify and generalize this method. The paper includes explicit formulas for most proposed families of…
The first contribution of this paper is the presentation of a Pavelka - like formulation of possibilistic logic in which the language is naturally enriched by two connectives which represent negation (eg) and a new type of conjunction…
The future of mathematics is described, by using the WZ algorithmic proof theory as a parable.
Cantor sets in \(\mathbb{R}\) are common examples of sets for which Hausdorff measures can be positive and finite. However, there exist Cantor sets for which no Hausdorff measure is supported and finite. The purpose of this paper is to try…
Many mathematicians find mathematics aesthetically beautiful and even comparable to art forms such as music or painting. On the other hand, every year a great number of school students leave mathematics with total disillusionment and…
One can notice that quite often difference between so-called "standard students" and "gifted" ones is not because that first are less smart, but they have different "orientation", they consider subject as a collections of rules which should…
G\"odel proved in the 1930s in his famous Incompleteness Theorems that not all statements in mathematics can be proven or disproven from the accepted ZFC axioms. A few years later he showed the celebrated result that Cantor's Continuum…
We analyzed a large selection of classical musical pieces composed by Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert and Tchaikovsky, and found a surprising connection with mathematics. For each composer, we extracted the time intervals each note was…
