A Liouville function is a complex analytic function H with a Taylor series \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} x^n/a_n such the a_n's form a ``very fast growing'' sequence of integers. In this paper we exhibit the complete first-order theory of the complex…
We study the arithmetic behavior of self-powers $x^x$ when $x$ is a Liouville number. Using recent ideas on strengthened Liouville approximation, we develop flexible constructions that illuminate how transcendence, Liouville properties, and…
A 'Liouville structure' is a structure isomorphic to a cotangent vector fibration. A Liouville structure is an essential ingredient of every variational formulation of a physical theory. For reasons of interpretation the Liouville structure…
In 1972, Alnia\c{c}ik proved that every strong Liouville number is mapped into the set of $U_m$-numbers, for any non-constant rational function with coefficients belonging to an $m$-degree number field. In this paper, we generalize this…
An infinite set of operator-valued relations in Liouville field theory is established. These relations are enumerated by a pair of positive integers $(m,n)$, the first $(1,1)$ representative being the usual Liouville equation of motion. The…
In 1906, Maillet proved that given a non-constant rational function $f$, with rational coefficients, if $\xi$ is a Liouville number, then so is $f(\xi)$. Motivated by this fact, in 1984, Mahler raised the question about the existence of…
Liouville numbers were the first class of real numbers which were proven to be transcendental. It is easy to construct non-normal Liouville numbers. Kano and Bugeaud have proved, using analytic techniques, that there are normal Liouville…
For every positive integer $m$ LeVeque (1953) defined the $U_m$-numbers as the transcendental numbers that admit very good approximation by algebraic numbers of degree $m$, but not by those of smaller degree. In these terms, Mahler's…
Let $F$ be a number field, $k$ a positive integer. In this paper, we define the Mobius and Liouville functions of order $k$ in $F$. We give a formula about the partial sums of them by using elementary number theory and complex analysis.…
This paper presents some mathematical aspects of Classical Liouville theorem and we have noted some mathematical theorems about its initial value problem. Furthermore, we have implied on the formal frame work of Stochastic Liouville…
{\em The Liouville number}, denoted $l$, is defined by $$l:=0.100101011101101111100...,$$ where the $n$th bit is given by ${1/2}(1+\gl(n))$; here $\gl$ is the Liouville function for the parity of prime divisors of $n$. Presumably the…
E. Maillet proved that the set of Liouville numbers is preserved under rational functions with rational coefficients. Based on this result, a problem posed by Kurt Mahler is to investigate whether there exist entire transcendental functions…
In this note we provide a gentle introduction to the concepts and intuition behind the recent breakthrough results on the mathematically rigorous construction of a non-trivial 2D conformal field theory, namely the so-called Liouville…
A numerical set $S$ is a cofinite subset of $\mathbb{N}$ which contains $0$. We use the natural bijection between numerical sets and Young diagrams to define a numerical set $\widetilde{S}$, such that their Young diagrams are complements.…
In this paper, among other things, we explicit a $G_{\delta}$-dense set of Liouville numbers, for which the triple power tower of any of its elements is a transcendental number.
The $c=1$ string in the Liouville field theory approach is shown to possess a nontrivial tree-level $S$-matrix which satisfies factorization property implied by unitary, if all the extra massive physical states are included.
In recent years, a surprisingly direct and simple rigorous understanding of quantum Liouville theory has developed. We aim here to make this material more accessible to physicists working on quantum field theory.
In this expository article, the real numbers are defined as infinite decimals. After defining an ordering relation and the arithmetic operations, it is shown that the set of real numbers is a complete ordered field. It is further shown that…
We look for a deep connection between mathematics and physics. Our approach is to propose a set theory T which leads to a concise mathematical description of physical fields and to a finite unit of action. The concept of "definability" of…
We establish a Liouville-type inequality for the values, at a common nonzero algebraic point, of arbitrary Mahler Mq-functions. As an application, we prove that no such value is a Liouville number, or even a U -number. This solves a…
