Low-dimensional descriptions of large systems of coupled oscillators and spiking neurons rely heavily on the Lorentzian Ansatz. We show that its privileged role is geometric rather than heuristic: for the transport induced by Riccati…

This paper investigates the logical strength of completeness theorems for modal propositional logic within second-order arithmetic. We demonstrate that the weak completeness theorem for modal propositional logic is provable in…

We prove that the Cohesiveness Principle (COH) is $\Pi^1_1$ conservative over $RCA_0 + I\Sigma^0_n$ and over $RCA_0 + B\Sigma^0_n$ for all $n \geq 2$ by recursion-theoretic means. We first characterize COH over $RCA_0 + B\Sigma^0_2$ as a…

Semi-algebraic proof systems such as sum-of-squares (SoS) have attracted a lot of attention recently due to their relation to approximation algorithms: constant degree semi-algebraic proofs lead to conjecturally optimal polynomial-time…

We develop a general framework for infinite-dimensional Ramsey theory with and without pigeonhole principle, inspired by Gowers' Ramsey-type theorem for block sequences in Banach spaces and by its exact version proved by Rosendal. In this…

We study the reverse mathematics of countable analogues of several maximality principles that are equivalent to the axiom of choice in set theory. Among these are the principle asserting that every family of sets has a $\subseteq$-maximal…

We implement a variant of the quantum pigeonhole paradox thought experiment to study whether classical counting principles survive in the quantum domain. We observe strong measurements significantly violate the pigeonhole principle (that…

We investigate the logical strength of the cohesiveness principle when restricted to finite sequences of sets, denoted by fin-COH, over different base theories. Our main result shows that fin-COH entails $I\Sigma_1^0$ over the weaker base…

Effective versions of strong measure zero sets are developed for various levels of complexity and computability. It is shown that the sets can be equivalently defined using a generalization of supermartingales called odds supermartingales,…

We first establish strong convergence rates for multiscale systems driven by $\alpha$-stable processes, with analyses constructed in two distinct scaling regimes. When addressing weak convergence rates of this system, we derive four…

We explore the computational content of Kronecker's lemma via the proof-theoretic perspective of proof mining and utilise the resulting finitary variant of this fundamental result to provide new rates for the Strong Law of Large Numbers for…

Hirschfeldt and Jockusch (2016) introduced a two-player game in which winning strategies for one or the other player precisely correspond to implications and non-implications between $\Pi^1_2$ principles over $\omega$-models of…

We examine the convergence properties of sequences of nonnegative real numbers that satisfy a particular class of recursive inequalities, from the perspective of proof theory and computability theory. We first establish a number of results…

We show that over the weak base theory $\mathrm{RCA}_0^*$, cohesive Ramsey's theorem for pairs $\mathrm{CRT}^2_2$ implies exponential closure of the definable cut $\mathrm{I}^0_1$, which is the intersection of all $\Sigma^0_1$-definable…

We study the reverse mathematics and computability-the\-o\-re\-tic strength of (stable) Ramsey's Theorem for pairs and the related principles COH and DNR. We show that SRT$^2_2$ implies DNR over RCA$_0$ but COH does not, and answer a…

In complex analysis, the winding number measures the number of times a path (counter-clockwise) winds around a point, while the Cauchy index can approximate how the path winds. We formalise this approximation in the Isabelle theorem prover,…

A relation is obtained between weak values of quantum observables and the consistency criterion for histories of quantum events. It is shown that ``strange'' weak values for projection operators (such as values less than zero) always…

The program Reverse Mathematics (RM for short) seeks to identify the axioms necessary to prove theorems of ordinary mathematics, usually working in the language of second-order arithmetic $L_{2}$. A major theme in RM is therefore the study…

We identify computability-theoretic properties enabling us to separate various statements about partial orders in reverse mathematics. We obtain simpler proofs of existing separations, and deduce new compound ones. This work is part of a…

We study the reverse mathematics of the theory of countable second-countable topological spaces, with a focus on compactness. We show that the general theory of such spaces works as expected in the subsystem $\mathsf{ACA}_0$ of second-order…
