Brukner and Pienaar have critiqued the Relational Quantum Mechanics of Rovelli, and together with Di Biagio, the latter has replied. I point out a few places where, in my view, that reply needs clarification.
This is a revision of my original posting, in which I raised objections to part of the Conway-Kochen argument. I now agree with them that their recent reply answers my original concerns. In the first part of these notes (identical to the…
In a recent series of papers Wiseman, Cavalcanti, and Rieffel have outlined and contrasted two different views about what we now call Bell's theorem. They also assert that Bell presented these two different versions at different times. This…
We explain the use of category theory in describing certain sorts of anyons. Yoneda's lemma leads to a simplification of that description. For the particular case of Fibonacci anyons, we also exhibit some calculations that seem to be known…
The notion of computability closure has been introduced for proving the termination of higher-order rewriting with first-order matching by Jean-Pierre Jouannaud and Mitsuhiro Okada in a 1997 draft which later served as a basis for the…
Notes of my lectures at the CIME (Levico Terme, june 2015). The lectures gave an overview of the L\"uroth problem, its history, the counter-examples found in the 70's, and the recent developments on stable rationality following the new…
I give a mini-survey of several approaches to the $A_2$ theorem, biased towards the "corona" rather than the "Bellman" side of the coin. There are two new results (a streamlined form of Lerner's local oscillation formula, and the sharpness…
I reply to the four points raised by S. A. Hayward, R. Di Criscienzo, M. Nadalini, L. Vanzo, S. Zerbini (arXiv:0909.2956v1) against my comment (arXiv:0907.2020v1) to their previous article. I maintain my position on the wrongness of their…
The authors of the Comment ascribe us claims never made while moderating their own previous unsubstantiated statements.
We give new proofs on Arnold Chord Conjecture and Weinstein Conjecture in M\times C which generalizes the previous works.
In this paper we establish an exponential covering theorem implying a conjecture formulated by A. Zygmund circa 1935 whose three-dimensional case was obtained by the first named author in 1978.
The $abc$ conjecture predicts a highly non trivial upper bound for the height of an algebraic point in terms of its discriminant and its intersection with a fixed divisor of the projective line counted without multiplicity. We describe the…
We analyze the attempt by C. Corda to explain the results of modern Moessbauer experiments in a rotating system via the additional effect of synchronization of the clock in the origin of the rotating system with the laboratory clock, and…
In this work, we affirm the conjecture proposed by Gabriele Fici and Filippo Mignosi at the 10th Conference on Combinatorics on Words.
S.B. Rao conjectured in 1971 that graphic degree sequences are well quasi ordered by a relation defined in terms of the induced subgraph relation. In 2008, M. Chudnovsky and P. Seymour proved this long standing Rao's Conjecture by giving…
We give an abstract approach to the results of Adams and Nobel, [1]. It allows to exhibit a new property of VC classes. It should be stressed that the basic ideas of proofs can be found in [1].
In their study of water waves, Massimiliano Berti, Livia Corsi, Alberto Maspero, and Paulo Ventura, came up with two intriguing conjectured identities involving certain weighted sums over the Boolean lattice. They were able to prove the…
We study the Carnot theorem and the configuration of points and lines in connection with it. It is proven that certain significant points in the configuration lie on the same lines and same conics. The proof of an equivalent statement…
There are two hypotheses on Leonardo's polyhedron based on the Pseudo-RCO and drawn for Luca Pacioli's book: Leonardo made an error, or: Leonardo draw it with intention, as it is. We give arguments, which support the Intention-hypothesis.
The book "A Course in Constructive Algebra" (1988) shows the way of understanding classical basic algebra in a constructive style similar to Bishop's Constructive Mathematics. Classical theorems are revisited, with a new flavour, and become…
