This is the first chapter of an introductory text under construction; further chapters are available via the authors' web pages. Our aim is to provide an elementary access to Cox rings and their applications in algebraic and arithmetic…
We survey some basic mathematical structures, which arguably are more primitive than the structures taught at school. These structures are orders, with or without composition, and (symmetric) monoidal categories. We list several `real life'…
The first papers on neutrino oscillations are shortly reviewed.
A set of basic notes, or `scale', forms the basis of music. Scales are specific to specific genre of music. In this second article of the series we explore the development of various scales associated with western classical music, arguably…
Expanded lecture notes. Preliminary version, comments are welcome.
This application-oriented study concerns computational musicology, which makes use of grammar systems. We define multi-generative rule-synchronized scattered-context grammar systems (without erasing rules) and demonstrates how to…
An exposition of the basic geometry of twistor integrals, intended for mathematicians.
This is an intorduction to some of the basic methods and results of dense matter physics.It is aimed at readers interested in astrophysical and physical applications.
The aim of this short paper is to give a practical introduction to functional interpretation of proofs for computer scientists interested in synthesis.
In this article, we explore a series of elementary yet insightful results involving integrals related to Gaussian sums. Using techniques rooted in classical calculus, we derive several identities and evaluate nontrivial definite integrals…
It is tried to axiomatize the transparent theory of music.
This paper is written as one chapter in a collection of essays on neutrino physics for beginning graduate students. The text presents important experimental methods and issues for those interested in searches for sterile neutrinos. Other…
The basic concepts of neutrino physics are presented at a level appropriate for integration into elementary courses on quantum mechanics and/or modern physics.
This is a concise foreword to, rather than a review of D-brane physics.
The Compositional Integral is defined, formally constructed, and discussed. A direct generalization of Riemann's construction of the integral; it is intended as an alternative way of looking at First Order Differential Equations. This brief…
All priors are not created equal. There are right and there are wrong priors. That is the main conclusion of this contribution. I use, a cooked-up example designed to create drama, and a typical textbook example to show the pervasiveness of…
In this article, we define the notion of a filtration and then give the basic theorems on initial and progressive enlargements of filtrations.
This is an expository introduction to simplicial sets and simplicial homotopy theory with particular focus on relating the combinatorial aspects of the theory to their geometric/topological origins. It is intended to be accessible to…
The article is an historical overview of some of the major contributions from different areas of Science with which, for centuries, it has been built up a scientific, sound and consistent vision of the atom. Some experiments that led us to…
The first-order model theory of modules has been studied for decades. More recently, the model theoretic study of nonelementary classes of modules--especially Abstract Elementary Classes of modules--has produced interesting results. This…
