Ernst Zermelo's axiomatization of set theory (1908) did not exclude `a set that is a member of itself'. We call a set that is a member of itself `an individual'. In this article we prove the elimination of Russell's paradox is equivalent to…

Here it is shown that standard set theory can be interpreted in a theory about order. The ordering here is about non-extensional flat classes, i.e. classes that are not elements of classes. So, stipulating a nearly well order over all those…

The notion of newtonianity is central to the study of the ordered differential field of logarithmic-exponential transseries done by Aschenbrenner, van den Dries, and van der Hoeven; see Chapter 14 of arxiv:1509.02588. We remove the…

Chapters 1 to 4 are the lecture notes of my course "Real Algebraic Geometry I" from the winter term 2020/2021. Chapters 5 to 8 are the lecture notes of its continuation "Real Algebraic Geometry II" from the summer term 2021. Chapters 9 and…

We review recent developments in the use of von Neumann algebras to analyze the entanglement structure of quantum gravity and the emergence of spacetime in the semi-classical limit. Von Neumann algebras provide a natural framework for…

These notes are based on Appalachian Set Theory lectures given by M. Malliaris on November 5, 2016 with D. Casey as the official scribe. The aim of the lectures was to present the setup and some key arguments of "Cofinality spectrum…

In the context of Mather's theory of Lagrangian systems, we study the decomposition in chain-transitive classes of the Mather invariant sets. As an application, we prove, under appropriate hypotheses, the semi-continuity of the so-called…

By formulating the axioms of quantum mechanics, von Neumann also laid the foundations of a "quantum probability theory". As such, it is regarded a generalization of the "classical probability theory" due to Kolmogorov. Outside of quantum…

These notes form an introduction to Lie algebras and group theory. Most of the material can be found in many works by various authors given in the list of references. The reader is referred to such works for more detail.

We continue the study on sheaves of rings on finite posets. We present examples where the ring of global sections coincide with toric faces rings, quotients of a polynomial ring by a monomial ideal and algebras with straightening laws. We…

In these lecture notes, we give a quick account of the theory of Poisson groupoids and Lie bialgebroids. In particular, we discuss the universal lifting theorem and its applications including integration of quasi-Lie bialgebroids,…

This is the first in a series of three papers on Algebraic Set Theory. Its main purpose is to lay the necessary groundwork for the next two parts, one on Realisability and the other on Sheaf Models in Algebraic Set Theory.

These are partial lecture notes from the fifteen Ess\'en Lectures for graduate students at Uppsala University given (in four days!) in June 2013.

These lectures centered around the Kempf-Ness theorem, which describes the equivalence between notions of quotient in symplectic and algebraic geometry. The text also describes connections to invariant theory, such existence of invariants…

The paper provides an introduction to the field of Algebraic Set Theory (AST). AST is a flexible categorical framework for studying different kinds of set theories: both classical and constructive, predicative and impredicative. We discuss…

In the first half of this paper, we study the way that sets of real numbers closed under Turing equivalence sit inside the real line from the perspective of algebra, measure and order. Afterwards, we combine the results from our study of…

A selection of the relevant theorems of Probability Theory that comes directly from Kolmogorov's axioms, Set Theory basic results, definitions and rules of inference are listed and proven in a systematic approach, aiming the student who…

This text grew up from the notes of a graduate course I gave at the University of Roma ``Tor Vergata'' in the academic year 2018--19. The subject is the classification of complex algebraic surfaces following Mori's theory. It includes the…

This is a self-contained set of lecture notes covering various aspects of the theory of open quantum system, at a level appropriate for a one-semester graduate course. The main emphasis is on completely positive maps and master equations,…
