We show that the topological Pontryagin classes are algebraically independent in the rationalised cohomology of BTop(d) for all $d \geq 4$.

We give a new independent proof of a generalised version of the theorem by Rashevskii, which appeared in [Uch. Zapiski Ped. Inst. K. 2 (1938), 83 -- 94] and from which the classical Chow-Rashevskii Theorem follows as a corollary. The proof…

Let G be a torsion free hyperbolic group. We prove that the elementary theory of G is decidable and admits an effective quantifier elimination to boolean combination of AE-formulas. The existence of such quantifier elimination was…

In this paper, we give a new proof of a result due to Bezivin that a D-finite Mahler function is necessarily rational. This also gives a new proof of the rational-transcendental dichotomy of Mahler functions due to Nishioka. Using our…

We give some new results on algebraic independence within Mahler's method, including algebraic independence of values at transcendental points. We also give some new measures of algebraic independence for infinite series of numbers. In…

We prove that for every simple theory $T$ (or even simple thick compact abstract theory) there is a (unique) compact abstract theory $T^\fP$ whose saturated models are the lovely pairs of $T$. Independence-theoretic results that were proved…

We strengthen the Free Will Theorem, which proved the spontaneity of particles, based on the free will of the experimenter. The new result is unconditional, and does not require the experimenter's free will to prove the particles'…

We prove a conjecture of Barraud and Cornea in the monotone setting, refining a result of Chekanov on the Hofer distance between two Hamiltonian isotopic Lagrangian submanifolds.

In order to better understand the structure of classical rings of invariants for binary forms, Dixmier proposed, as a conjectural homogeneous system of parameters, an explicit collection of invariants previously studied by Hilbert. We…

We proved a parametrized KAM theorem in Hamiltonian system which has differentiable Hamiltonian without action-angle coordinates. It is a generalization of the result of [Llave et al. 2005] that deals with real analytic Hamiltonians.

We show that Mazur's conjecture on the real topology of rational points on varieties implies that there is no diophantine model of the rational integers in the rational numbers. We also prove that there is a diophantine model of the…

Torelli's theorem is proven by the study of the convolution product of the intersection cohomology sheaf of the thetadivisor.

In this paper, we examine how various notions of independence in non-commutative probability theory arise in bi-free probability. We exhibit how Boolean and monotone independence occur from bi-free pairs of faces and establish a Kac/Loeve…

Quantum-mechanical scattering off a magnetic vortex is considered, and the optical theorem is derived. The vortex core is assumed to be impermeable to scattered particles, and its transverse size is taken into account. We show that the…

In this paper we extend Fischler's quantitative generalization of Nesterenko's linear independence criterion, by weakening the hypotheses on the divisors of the coe cients of the linear forms and allowing (to some extent) the linear forms…

We find that various results of current algebra at tree level and beyond can be directly obtained from a master formula, without use of chiral perturbation theory or effective Lagrangians. Application is made to $\pi \pi$ scattering, where…

We generalize a result of Matom\"aki, Radziwi{\l}{\l}, and Tao, by proving an averaged version of a conjecture of Chowla and a conjecture of Elliott regarding correlations of the Liouville function, or more general bounded multiplicative…

We give a direct proof of the main result of the paper "Homomorphisms with respect to a function" by K. Boulabiar and F. Gdara [1] without using the Axiom of Choice.

Most of the assertions in the theory of well ordered sets are quite simple. However, one of its central statements, Zermelo's theorem, stands out of this rule, for its well-known proofs are rather complicated. The aim of the current paper…

We give a new, elementary proof of the celebrated Herzog-Hibi-Zheng theorem on powers of quadratic monomial ideals.
