We demonstrate the simple and deep equivalence between quantum coherence and nonclassicality and the definite way in which they determine metrological resolution. Moreover, we define a coherence observable consistent with a classical…
These notes aim to provide a classical approach to solving some conformable differential equations based on prior knowledge of how to solve ordinary differential equations. That is, using the methods of separation of variables, homogeneous…
These notes briefly discuss basic notions concerning locally compact abelian topological groups and Fourier transforms of functions on them.
The theory of quadratic forms and class numbers has connections to many classical problems in number theory. Recently, class numbers have appeared in the study of black holes in string theory. We describe this connection and raise questions…
These are the notes from my courses on the arithmetic of quadratic forms.
The main goal in this manuscript is to present a class of functions satisfying a certain orthogonality property for which there also exists a three term recurrence formula. This class of functions, which can be considered as an extension to…
The main purpose of this note is to pose a couple of problems which are easily formulated thought some seem to be not yet solved. These problems are of general interest for discrete mathematics including a new twig of a bough of theory of…
These are the lecture notes for an introductory course on black holes and some aspects of their interaction with the classical and quantum world. The focus is on phenomena of "fundamental physics" in the immediate surroundings of the black…
There are versions of "calculus" in many settings, with various mixtures of algebra and analysis. In these informal notes we consider a few examples that suggest a lot of interesting questions.
These informal notes consider Fourier transforms on a simple class of nice functions and some basic properties of the Fourier transform.
The aim of this paper is to realise the techniques of picture-valued invariants and invariants valued in free groups for long knots in the full torus. Such knots and links are of a particular interest because of their relation to Legendrian…
A number of topics in analysis are discussed, with emphasis on basic principles. There is some overlap with "Elements of linear and real analysis" (arXiv:math/0108030), with numerous changes in content and presentation since then.
These informal notes are concerned with spaces of functions in various situations, including continuous functions on topological spaces, holomorphic functions of one or more complex variables, and so on.
A little general abstract combinatorial nonsense delivered in this note is a presentation of some old and basic concepts, central to discrete mathematics, in terms of new words. The treatment is from a structural and systematic point of…
We initiate the study of a natural generalisation of the classical Bochner-Krall problem asking which linear ordinary differential operators possess sequences of eigenpolynomials satisfying linear recurrence relations of finite length; the…
Using known entropic and information inequalities new inequalities for some classical polynomials are obtained. Examples of Jacobi and Legendre polynomials are considered.
These are notes on some algebraic geometry of complex projective curves, together with an application to studying the contact curves in CP^3 and the null curves in the complex quadric Q^3 in CP^4, related by the well-known Klein…
This note presents an interesting counterexample to a basic covering problem.
A basic class of constructions is considered, in connection with bilipschitz mappings in particular.
These notes briefly discuss finite-dimensional algebras with involutions, self-adjoint elements, and so on.
