相关论文: The surreal numbers as a universal H-field
Conway's real closed field $\mathbf{No}$ of surreal numbers is a sweeping generalization of the real numbers and the ordinals to which a number of elementary functions such as log and exponentiation have been shown to extend. The problems…
Surreal numbers form the ultimate extension of the field of real numbers with infinitely large and small quantities and in particular with all ordinal numbers. Hyperseries can be regarded as the ultimate formal device for representing…
We make a number of observations on Conway surreal number theory which may be useful, for further developments, in both in mathematics and theoretical physics. In particular, we argue that the concepts of surreal numbers and matroids can be…
In his monograph, H. Gonshor showed that Conway's real closed field of surreal numbers carries an exponential and logarithmic map. Subsequently, L. van den Dries and P. Ehrlich showed that it is a model of the elementary theory of the field…
In [15], the algebraico-tree-theoretic simplicity hierarchical structure of J. H. Conway's ordered field No of surreal numbers was brought to the fore and employed to provide necessary and sufficient conditions for an ordered field to be…
We discuss the conjecture that every maximal Hardy field has the Intermediate Value Property for differential polynomials, and its equivalence to the statement that all maximal Hardy field are elementarily equivalent to the differential…
Inspired by Conway's surreal numbers, we study real closed fields whose value group is isomorphic to the additive reduct of the field. We call such fields omega-fields and we prove that any omega-field of bounded Hahn series with real…
We study the relationship between fields of transseries and residue fields of convex subrings of non-standard extensions of the real numbers. This was motivated by a question of Todorov and Vernaeve, answered in this paper.
Let $\mathbb T$ be the differential field of transseries. We establish some basic properties of the dimension of a definable subset of ${\mathbb T}^n$, also in relation to its codimension in the ambient space ${\mathbb T}^n$. The case of…
In this treatise on the theory of the continuum of the surreal numbers of J.H. Conway, is proved ,that the three different techniques and hierarchies of the continuums of the transfinite real numbers of Glayzal A. (1937) defined through…
We consider a family of perturbative heterotic string backgrounds. These are complex threefolds X with c_1 = 0, each with a gauge field solving the Hermitian Yang-Mill's equations and compatible B and H fields that satisfy the anomaly…
In his monograph On Numbers and Games, J. H. Conway introduced a real-closed field No of surreal numbers containing the reals and the ordinals, as well as a vast array of less familiar numbers. A longstanding aim has been to develop…
The class $\mathbf{No}$ of surreal numbers, which John Conway discovered while studying combinatorial games, possesses a rich numerical structure and shares many arithmetic and algebraic properties with the real numbers. Some work has also…
The characteristic cycle of a complex of sheaves on a complex analytic space provides weak information about the complex; essentially, it yields the Euler characteristics of the hypercohomology of normal data to strata. We show how perverse…
A conjecture of Manin predicts the distribution of rational points on Fano varieties. We provide a framework for proofs of Manin's conjecture for del Pezzo surfaces over imaginary quadratic fields, using universal torsors. Some of our tools…
The notion of surreal number was introduced by J.H. Conway in the mid 1970's: the surreal numbers constitute a linearly ordered (proper) class $No$ containing the class of all ordinal numbers ($On$) that, working within the background set…
Let $\mathbb{T}$ be the differential field of logarithmic-exponential transseries. We consider the expansion of $\mathbb{T}$ by the binary map that sends a real number $r$ and a positive transseries $f$ to the transseries $f^r$. Building on…
We show that for a given finitely generated group, its Bernoulli shift space can be equivariantly embedded as a subset of a space of pointed trees with Gromov-Hausdorff metric and natural partial action of a free group. Since the latter can…
We construct a full embedding of the category of hyperfields into Dress's category of fuzzy rings and explicitly characterize the essential image --- it fails to be essentially surjective in a very minor way. This embedding provides an…
For a general Dirichlet series $\sum a_n e^{-\lambda_n s}$ with frequency $\lambda=(\lambda_n)_n$, we study how horizontal translation (i.e. convolution with a Poisson kernel) improves its integrability properties. We characterize…
