The following three sections and appendices are taken from my thesis "The Foundations of Inference and its Application to Fundamental Physics" from 2021, in which I construct a theory of entropic inference from first principles. The…
Boundaries, GNH, and parametrized theories. It takes three to tango. This is the motto of my doctoral thesis and the common thread of it. The thesis is structured as follows: after some acknowledgments and a brief introduction, chapter one…
This habilitation thesis is intended to be a good introduction to enumeration, the problem of listing solutions. It focuses on the different ways of measuring complexity in enumeration, with a particular emphasis on my contributions to the…
In this PhD thesis we will discuss some aspects in Commutative Algebra which have interactions with Algebraic Geometry, Representation Theory and Combinatorics. In particular, in the first chapter we will focus on understanding when certain…
Starting from the (apparently) elementary problem of deciding how many different topological spaces can be obtained by gluing together in pairs the faces of an octahedron, we will describe the central role played by hyperbolic geometry…
We discuss a topological approach to words introduced by the author. Words on an arbitrary alphabet are approximated by Gauss words and then studied up to natural modifications inspired by the Reidemeister moves on knot diagrams. This leads…
The intended purpose of this work is to provide the reader with a comprehensive, state-of-the art presentation of the theory of complex Hadamard matrices, or at least report on the very recent advances. This manuscript consists of three…
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…
Framed combinatorial topology is a novel theory describing combinatorial phenomena arising at the intersection of stratified topology, singularity theory, and higher algebra. The theory synthesizes elements of classical combinatorial…
This paper aims to provide a careful and self-contained introduction to the theory of topological degree in Euclidean spaces. It is intended for people mostly interested in analysis and, in general, a heavy background in algebraic or…
The aim of this paper is to present a self contained introduction to the Hubbard model and some of its applications.The paper consists of two parts: the first will introduce the basic notions of the Hubbard model starting from the…
We present and discuss seven different open problems in applied combinatorics. The application areas relevant to this compilation include quantum computing, algorithmic differentiation, topological data analysis, iterative methods,…
An objective of the theory of combinatorial groupoids is to introduce concepts like "holonomy", "parallel transport", "bundles", "combinatorial curvature" etc. in the context of simplicial (polyhedral) complexes, posets, graphs, polytopes,…
This document is an introduction to and review of two-dimensional mathematical physics. The reader is introduced to the subject matter primarily through problems, which are presented along with detailed worked solutions. For each chapter,…
We introduce combinatorial types of arrangements of convex bodies, extending order types of point sets to arrangements of convex bodies, and study their realization spaces. Our main results witness a trade-off between the combinatorial…
This is the first paper in a series of eight where in the first three we develop a systematic approach to the geometric algebras of multivectors and extensors, followed by five papers where those algebraic concepts are used in a novel…
This paper presents an offering of some of the myriad connections between Combinatorics and Probability, directed in particular toward combinatorialists. The choice of material was dictated by the author's own interests, tastes and…
This article summarises a Web-book on "Complexity" that was developed to introduce undergraduate students to interesting complex systems in the biological, physical and social sciences, and the common tools, principles and concepts used for…
In this summary of Habilitation Thesis, it is outlined author's 18 years research activity on mathematical physics, geometric methods in particle physics and gravity, modifications and applications (after defending his PhD thesis in 1994).…
An S-approximation space is a novel approach to study systems with uncertainty that are not expressible in terms of inclusion relations. In this work, we further examined these spaces, mostly from a topological point of view by a…
