This is a write-up of my talk at the Conference on algebraic structures in Montreal, July 2003. I try to give a brief informal introduction to the proof of Y. Ruan's conjecture on orbifold cohomology multiplication for symplectic quotient…

We show that Sullivan's model of rational differential forms on a simplicial set $X$ may be interpreted as a (kind of) $0|1$-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theory over $X$, and, as a consequence, concordance classes of such…

Given a recollement of three proper dg algebras over a noetherian commutative ring, e.g. three algebras which are finitely generated over the base ring, which extends one step downwards, it is shown that there is a short exact sequence of…

We introduce syntactic modal operator $\BOX$ for \textit{being a thesis} into first-order logic. This logic is a modern realization of R. Carnap's old ideas on modality, as logical necessity (J. Symb. Logic, 1946) \cite{Ca46}. We place it…

Using the theory of resolving classes, we show that if $X$ is a CW complex of finite type such that $\map_*(X, S^{2n+1})\sim *$ for all sufficiently large $n$, then $\map_*(X, K) \sim *$ for every simply-connected finite-dimensional CW…

A classical theorem due to G.D. Birkhoff states that there exists an entire function whose translates approximate any given entire function, as accurately as desired, over any ball of the complex plane. We show this result may be…

We formulate and prove a log-algebraicity theorem for arbitrary rank Drinfeld modules defined over the polynomial ring F_q[theta]. This generalizes results of Anderson for the rank one case. As an application we show that certain special…

We show that if we enrich first order logic by allowing quantification over isomorphisms between definable ordered fields the resulting logic, L(Q_{Of}), is fully compact. In this logic, we can give standard compactness proofs of various…

We study rigidity questions for pairs of Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{n})$ admitting a post-Lie algebra structure. We show that if $\mathfrak{g}$ is semisimple and $\mathfrak{n}$ is arbitrary, then we have rigidity in the sense…

Let p > 2 be prime. We use purely local methods to determine the possible reductions of certain two-dimensional crystalline representations, which we call "pseudo-Barsotti-Tate representations", over arbitrary finite extensions of the…

We derive explicit semiclassical quantisation conditions for the Dirac and Pauli equations. We show that the spin degree of freedom yields a contribution which is of the same order of magnitude as the Maslov correction in…

We present a framework for the formal meta-theory of lambda calculi in first-order syntax, with two sorts of names, one to represent both free and bound variables, and the other for constants, and by using Stoughton's multiple…

This paper gives an explicit argument to show strong boundedness for ${\rm Sp}_{2n}(R)$ for $R$ a ring of S-algebraic integers or a semi-local ring. This gives a quantitative version of a related abstract result in a previous paper of the…

We formulate and prove a twofold generalisation of Lie's second theorem that integrates homomorphisms between formal group laws to homomorphisms between Lie groups. Firstly we generalise classical Lie theory by replacing groups with…

The expansion method of Lie algebras by a semigroup or S-expansion is generalized to act directly on the group manifold, and not only at the level of its Lie algebra. The consistency of this generalization with the dual formulation of the…

We show that, if $\Gamma$ is a point group of $\mathbb{R}^{k+1}$ of order two for some $k\geq 2$ and $\mathcal S$ is a $k$-pseudomanifold which has a free automorphism of order two, then either $\mathcal S$ has a $\Gamma$-symmetric…

We show that a hypersimple unidimensional theory that has a club of reducts, in the partial order of all countable reducts, that are coordinatized in finite rank, is supersimple.

By Solovay's celebrated completeness result on formal provability we know that the provability logic $\mathrm GL$ describes exactly all provable structural properties for any sound and strong enough arithmetical theory with a decidable…

We show that for any two distinct words $ s_1, s_2 $ over an arbitrary alphabets, there exists a deterministic finite automaton with $ O(\log^2 n) $ states that accepts $ s_1 $ and rejects $ s_2 $. This improves the previous upper bound of…

Let kappa be an uncountable regular cardinal. Call an equivalence relation on functions from kappa into 2 Sigma_1^1-definable over H(kappa) if there is a first order sentence F and a parameter R subseteq H(kappa) such that functions…
