We study the configuration space of rectangulations and convex subdivisions of $n$ points in the plane. It is shown that a sequence of $O(n\log n)$ elementary flip and rotate operations can transform any rectangulation to any other…

We define a category with as objects operational resolutions and with as morphisms - not necessarily deterministic - state transitions. We study connections with closure spaces and join-complete lattices and sketch physical applications…

Let $n$ points be in crescent configurations in $\mathbb{R}^d$ if they lie in general position in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and determine $n-1$ distinct distances, such that for every $1 \leq i \leq n-1$ there is a distance that occurs exactly $i$…

This addendum to math.LO/0412144 shows that the set of tautological quantum logical propositional formulas for a finite dimensional vector space C^n is different for every n, affirmatively answering a question posed therein.

In a previous paper we showed that, for any $n \ge m+2$, most sets of $n$ points in $\RR^m$ are determined (up to rotations, reflections, translations and relabeling of the points) by the distribution of their pairwise distances. But there…

In this paper, we study some features of n-normed spaces with respect to norms of its quotient spaces. We define continuous functions with respect to the norms of its quotient spaces and show that all types of continuity are equivalent. We…

Let $V$ be a quasi-conformal grading-restricted vertex algebra, $W$ be its module, and $\W_{z_1, \ldots, z_n}$ be the space of rational differential forms with complex parameters $(z_1, \ldots, z_n)$ for $n \ge 0$. Using geometric…

The notion of a coherent space is a nonlinear version of the notion of a complex Euclidean space: The vector space axioms are dropped while the notion of inner product is kept. Coherent spaces provide a setting for the study of geometry in…

This short survey reviews some aspects of spaces of positive-definite self-adjoint linear transformations on R^n and on C^n, including the standard Riemannian metric and the relation with the exponential mapping acting on self-adjoint…

Starting from the classical notion of an oriented congruence (i.e. a foliation by oriented curves) in $R^3$, we abstract the notion of an oriented congruence structure. This is a 3-dimensional CR manifold $(M,H, J)$ with a preferred…

We introduce an analogue of the theory of length spaces into the setting of Lorentzian geometry and causality theory. The r\^ole of the metric is taken over by the time separation function, in terms of which all basic notions are…

In this paper we study relative Riemann-Zariski spaces attached to a morphism of schemes and generalizing the classical Riemann-Zariski space of a field. We prove that similarly to the classical RZ spaces, the relative ones can be described…

Let R be a sufficiently saturated o-minimal expansion of a real closed field, let O be the convex hull of the rationals in R, and let st: O^n \to \mathbb{R}^n be the standard part map. For X \subseteq R^n define st(X):=st(X \cap O^n). We…

Properties of several sorts of lattices of convex subsets of R^n are examined. The lattice of convex sets containing the origin turns out, for n>1, to satisfy a set of identities strictly between those of the lattice of all convex subsets…

We study various corrections of correlation functions to leading order in conformal perturbation theory, both on the cylinder and on the plane. Many problems on the cylinder are mathematically equivalent to those in the plane if we give the…

A balanced configuration of points on the sphere $S^2$ is a (finite) set of points which are in equilibrium if they act on each other according any force law dependent only on the distance between two points. The configuration is…

I review and update ideas about the quantum theory of de Sitter space. New results include a quantum relation between energy and entropy of states in the causal patch, which is satisfied by small dS black holes. I also discuss the…

In this review we discuss the relationship between random matrix theories and symmetric spaces. We show that the integration manifolds of random matrix theories, the eigenvalue distribution, and the Dyson and boundary indices characterizing…

The Cartan scheme $\cal X$ of a finite group $G$ with a $(B,N)$-pair is defined to be the coherent configuration associated with the action of $G$ on the right cosets of the Cartan subgroup $B\cap N$ by the right multiplications. It is…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be topological spaces. Let $C$ be a path-connected closed set of $X\times Y$. Suppose that $C$ is locally direct product, that is, for any $(a,b)\in X\times Y$, there exist an open set $U$ of $X$, an open set $V$ of $Y$, a…
