Marchildon's arguments against my earlier work are refuted.

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to a crucial error in equation (51).

This is a correction to the afore-mentioned paper in Duke Math. J. vol. 75 (1994), 99-119 by S. Keel, K. Matsuki, and J. McKernan. We completely rewrite Chapter 6 according to the original manuscript of the second author, in order to fix…

This comment about the article "Hamiltonian for the Zeros of the Riemann Zeta Function", by C. M. Bender, D. C. Brody, and M. P. M\"uller, published recently in Phys. Rev. Lett. (Phys. Rev. Lett., 118, 130201, (2017)) gives arguments…

We formally prove the existence of an enduring incongruence pervading a widespread interpretation of the Bell inequality and explain how to rationally avoid it with a natural assumption justified by explicit reference to a mathematical…

In this comment we critically review an argument against the existence of objective physical outcomes, recently proposed by R. Healey [Foundations of Physics, 48(11), 1568-1589]. We show that his gedankenexperiment, based on a combination…

Using methods from classical analysis, sharp bounds for the ratio of differences of Power Means are obtained. Our results generalize and extend previous ones due to S. Wu(2005), and to S. Wu and L. Debnath.

This combines a reply to the Comment [hep-th/0203067 v1] by A. N. Vaidya and R. de L. Rodrigues with an erratum to our Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 210405 (2001)]

We propose a new definition of actual cause, using structural equations to model counterfactuals. We show that the definition yields a plausible and elegant account of causation that handles well examples which have caused problems for…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author; a revised version is part of the author's phd-thesis "Quasi-logarithmic structures" (Zurich, 2007).

In this paper, we present an exposition of the work \cite{B} by Jean Bourgain, in which he resolved the well known conjecture posed by Rudin regarding the existence of $\Lambda(p)$-sets.

This is a broad and in part unconventional review of our current knowledge of fundamental physics, emphasizing the potential for advances the LHC will open up.

We present a proof system for the provability logic GLP in the formalism of nested sequents and prove the cut elimination theorem for it. As an application, we obtain the reduction of GLP to its important fragment called J syntactically.

In this paper, we give a first negative answer to a question proposed by Li and Lin (Arch Ration Mech Anal 203(3): 943-968, 2012). Meanwhile we also give a second positive answer to the Li-Lin's open problem. The first positive answer was…

A recent article in which John Searle claims to refute dualism is examined from a scientific perspective.

The Cepheids' P-L relation got itself talked about again in the recent past due to claims of observed metallicity dependences of at least its zero point. The divergences of the observational results obtained by the different authors are…

The aim of the paper is to show that L. Friedlander's results on the relation between Dirichlet and Neumann counting functions (Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 116, 1991) remain valid in abstract setting.

We develop a topological approach to prove the generalized Lax conjecture using the fact that determinants of sufficiently big symmetric linear pencils are able to express the rigidly convex sets of RZ polynomials of any degree $d$.…

It is shown that the criticism (revised version) made in hep-th/0007108 (by Jentschura and Weniger) on hep-th/0006057 has no valid ground. Furthemore we emphasize that the concept of the electric-magnetic duality used in the analysis of QED…

We comment on the Reply of G. Su and M. Suzuki [cond-mat/9808011] to our Comment [cond-mat/9807402] about the papers of G. Su [Phys. Rev. B 54, 8291 (1996)] and G. Su and M. Suzuki [Phys. Rev. B 57, 13367 (1998)]. The algebraic mistake…
