Explicit representations of complex structures on closed manifolds are valuable, but relatively rare in the literature. Using isoparametric theory, we construct complex structures on isoparametric hypersurfaces with $g=4, m=1$ in the unit…
We propose a new definition of actual cause, using structural equations to model counterfactuals. We show that the definition yields a plausible and elegant account of causation that handles well examples which have caused problems for…
We call a subfactor trivial if it is isomorphic with the obvious inclusion of N into matrices over N. We prove the existence of type II_1 factors M without non-trivial finite index subfactors. Equivalently, every M-M-bimodule with finite…
In recent years, there were a number of experimental developments and discoveries of novel superconducting materials which exhibit multicomponent, many-body degrees of freedom. These superconductors, that are described by several…
I offer a case that quantum query complexity still has loads of enticing and fundamental open problems -- from relativized QMA versus QCMA and BQP versus IP, to time/space tradeoffs for collision and element distinctness, to polynomial…
This is the second volume of a textbook for a two-semester course in mathematical analysis. This second volume is about analysis of multi-variable functions. The topics covered include Euclidean spaces, convergence of sequences, open sets…
Variational problems of splitting-type with mixed linear-superlinear growth conditions are considered. In the twodimensional case the minimizing problem is given by \[ J [w] = \int_{\Omega} \Big[f_1\big(\partial_1 w\big) +…
A subproduct system of two-dimensional Hilbert spaces can generate an Arveson system of type I1 only. All possible cases are classified up to isomorphism. This work is triggered by a question of Bhat: can a subproduct system of…
In this paper, we study the "sum composition problem" between two lists $A$ and $B$ of positive integers. We start by saying that $B$ is "sum composition" of $A$ when there exists an ordered $m$-partition $[A_1,\ldots,A_m]$ of $A$ where $m$…
In recent years, several problems regarding the partition regularity of exponential configurations have been studied in the literature, in some cases using the properties of specific ultrafilters. In this paper, we start to lay down the…
During the past few decades, several new classes of superconductors have been discovered. Most of these do not appear to be related to traditional superconductors. As a consequence, it is felt by many that for these materials,…
New invariants for 2-dimensional cell complexes are defined, which can be interpreted as curvature bounds. These invariants are proved to be rational and computable in a companion article. This document is a survey that collects theorems…
We obtain explicit upper bounds for the number of irreducible factors for a class of compositions of polynomials in several variables over a given field. In particular, some irreducibility criteria are given for this class of compositions…
This book has eight chapters. The first chapter is introductory in nature. Polynomials with matrix coefficients are introduced in chapter two. Algebraic structures on these polynomials with matrix coefficients is defined and described in…
We canonically associate to any planar algebra two type II_{\infty} factors M_{+} and M_{-}. The subfactors constructed previously by the authors in a previous paper are isomorphic to compressions of M_{+} and M_{-} to finite projections.…
Ultrafilters are useful mathematical objects having applications in nonstandard analysis, Ramsey theory, Boolean algebra, topology, and other areas of mathematics. In this note, we provide a categorical construction of ultrafilters in terms…
Motivated by Quantum Mechanics considerations, we expose some cross product constructions on a groupoid structure. Furthermore, critical remarks are made on some basic formal aspects of the Hopf algebra structure.
We discuss the Euclidean limit of hyperbolic SU(2)-monopoles, framed at infinity, from the point of view of pluricomplex geometry. More generally, we discuss the geometry of hypercomplex manifolds arising as limits of pluricomplex…
In this paper we give a closed expression for a multiple factorial series, solving Open Problem 3.137 in a recent book by O. Furdui. The method is based on properties of divided differences. It applies also to similar series and certain…
In this note, we first work out some `bare hands' computations of the most elementary possible free products involving $\mathbb{C}^2 ~(=\mathbb{C} \oplus \mathbb{C} $) and $M_2 ~(= M_2(\mathbb{C}))$. Using these, we identify all free…
