What does it mean to be flat? We propose to define it by measuring the maximal variation around a point, or from a dual perspective, the distance to neighboring level sets. After developing some calculus rules, we show how flat minima,…

We prove a generic flatness result for the cohomology of thickenings of a projective scheme that is smooth over a Noetherian domain containing a field of characteristic zero. Our study is motivated, in part, by a classical question in…

If Einstein's equations are to describe a field theory of gravity in Minkowski spacetime, then causality requires that the effective curved metric must respect the flat background metric's null cone. The kinematical problem is solved using…

A $\mu$-algebra is a model of a first order theory that is an extension of the theory of bounded lattices, that comes with pairs of terms $(f,\mu_{x}.f)$ where $\mu_{x}.f$ is axiomatized as the least prefixed point of $f$, whose axioms are…

We study atomic decompositions in Fr\'echet spaces and their duals, as well as perturbation results. We define shrinking and boundedly complete atomic decompositions on a locally convex space, study the duality of these two concepts and…

In the present note we study certain arrangements of codimension $2$ flats in projective spaces, we call them "Fermat arrangements". We describe algebraic properties of their defining ideals. In particular, we show that they provide…

We analyze an alternative theory of gravity characterized by metrics that are tensor density of rank(0,2)and weight-1/2.The metric compatibility condition is supposed to hold. The simplest expression for the action of gravitational field is…

We argue that the finiteness of quantum gravity amplitudes in fully compactified theories (at least in supersymmetric cases) leads to a bottom-up prediction for the existence of non-trivial dualities. In particular, finiteness requires the…

We give sufficient conditions for cohomological flatness (in dimension 0) over discrete valuation rings, generalizing classical results of Raynaud in two different ways. The first is a higher dimensional generalization of Raynaud's…

The piecewise flat spacetime is equipped with a set of edge lengths and vertex coordinates. This defines a piecewise affine coordinate system and a piecewise affine metric in it, the discrete analogue of the unique torsion-free…

We study relative precompleteness in the context of the theory of numberings, and relate this to a notion of lowness. We introduce a notion of divisibility for numberings, and use it to show that for the class of divisible numberings,…
