In this talk I present a simple derivation of an old result of Kochen and Specker, which is apparently unrelated to the famous work of Bell on hidden variables, but is presumably equally important. Kochen and Specker showed in 1967 that…
We prove a general existence theorem for nonlinear partial differential systems of any order in one complex variable. A special case of first order contains a well-known theorem of Nijenhuis and Woolf concerning local existence of…
We provide a permutation-invariant version of the Koml\'os' theorem for non-negative random variables. The proof is quite elementary in the sense that it did not use the Axiom of Choice, and was based on a recent result in [3].
We consider the Cauchy problem for the Schr\"odinger maps evolution when the domain is the hyperbolic plane. An interesting feature of this problem compared to the more widely studied case on the Euclidean plane is the existence of a rich…
We prove that there exist graphs which do not contain $K_t$ as an odd minor and whose chromatic number is at least $(\frac 32-o(1))t$. This disproves, in a strong form, the odd Hadwiger conjecture of Gerards and Seymour from 1993.
A formula for the commutator of tensor product matrices is used to shows that, for qubits, compatibility of quantum multiparty observables almost never implies local compatibility at each site and to predict when this happens/does not…
In this article, we close a gap in the literature by proving existence of invariant measures for reflected SPDEs with only one reflecting barrier. This is done by arguing that the sequence (u(t, .)) is tight in the space of probability…
In this paper we describe the form of those continuous multiplicative maps on B(H) (H being a separable complex Hilbert space of dimension not less than 3) which preserve the rank, or the corank. Furthermore, we characterize those…
We prove a conjecture of Peter Neumann from 1966, predicting that every finite non-regular primitive permutation group of degree $n$ contains an element fixing at least one point and at most $n^{1/2}$ points. In fact, we prove a stronger…
The discovery of the Planck's relation is generally regarded as the starting point of quantum physics. The Planck's constant h is now regarded as one of the most important universal constants. The physical nature of h, however, has not been…
Rubin's generalized Minkowski--Funk transforms $M_t^\alpha$ on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ give rise, for irrational radii $t=\cos(\beta\pi)$, to a small denominator problem governed by the asymptotic behavior of their spectral multipliers.…
It is investigated if predictions of the inflationary scenario regarding spectra of scalar and tensor perturbations generated from quantum vacuum fluctuations are robust with respect to a modification of the dispersion law for frequencies…
Kauffman's bracket is an invariant of regular isotopy of knots and links which since its discovery in 1985 it has been used in many different directions: (a) it implies an easy proof of the invariance of (in fact, it is equivalent to) the…
For a given monic polynomial $p(t)$ of degree $n$ over a commutative ring $k$, the splitting algebra is the universal $k$-algebra in which $p(t)$ has $n$ roots, or, more precisely, over which $p(t)$ factors, $p(t)=(t-\xi_1)...(t-\xi_n)$.…
We give a short geometric proof of the Kochen-Specker no-go theorem for non-contextual hidden variables models. Note added to this version: I understand from Jan-Aake Larsson that the construction we give here actually contains the original…
The tomographic invertable map of the Wigner function onto the positive probability distribution function is studied. Alternatives to the Schr\"odinger evolution equation and to the energy level equation written for the positive probability…
We show that there are no nontrivial surjective uniformly asymptotically regular mappings acting on a metric space and derive some consequences of this fact. In particular, we prove that a jointly continuous left amenable or left reversible…
The Wigner's theorem, which is one of the cornerstones of the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics, asserts that every symmetry of quantum system is unitary or anti-unitary. This classical result was first given by Wigner in 1931.…
Regardless of number, standing wave modes are by definition noninteracting, and therefore cannot thermalize by themselves. Doppler shifts due to thermal motions of cavity walls provide necessary mixing, but also preserve the amplitudes and…
The classification of compact homogeneous spaces of the form $M=G/K$, where $G$ is a non-simple Lie group, such that the standard metric is Einstein is still open. The only known examples are $4$ infinite families and $3$ isolated spaces…
