相关论文: You Can Enter Cantor's Paradise
This paper records my opening remarks at Nobel Symposium 148, on Graphene and Quantum Matter, at Saltsj\"obaden, Sweden, in June 2010. After some broad comments on the quantum theory of matter as a frontier of physics, and some slightly…
This paper examines the possibilities of extending Cantor's two arguments on the uncountable nature of the set of real numbers to one of its proper denumerable subsets: the set of rational numbers. The paper proves that, unless certain…
In this paper, we consider the intrinsic Diophantine approximation on the triadic Cantor set $\mathcal{K}$, i.e. approximating the points in $\mathcal{K}$ by rational numbers inside $\mathcal{K}$, a question posed by K. Mahler. By using…
In the present article, modeling certain rational numbers, that are represented in terms of Cantor series, are described. The statements on relations between digits in the representations of rational numbers by Cantor series (for the case…
The present overview and gentle introduction to Grassmannian calculus and some of its applications to probability collects the notes of a mini-course given by the authors at the Brazilian School of Probability, August 5-9, 2024, in…
In this paper, we consider a family of random Cantor sets on the line and consider the question of whether the condition that the sum of the Hausdorff dimensions is larger than one implies the existence of interior points in the difference…
Write A<=B if there is an injection from A to B, and A==B if there is a bijection. We give a simple proof that for finite n, nA<=nB implies A<=B. From the Cantor-Bernstein theorem it then follows that nA==nB implies A==B. These results have…
The said paper [2] entitled "Proof Of Two Dimensional Jacobian Conjecture" is with gaps.
These are the preparatory notes for a Science & Music essay, "Playing by numbers", appeared in Nature 453 (2008) 988-989.
The paper presents a course on Combinatorial Algorithms that is based on the drafts of the author that he used while teaching the course in the Department of Informatics and Applied Mathematics of Yerevan State University, Armenia from…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field, and let $S=\mathbb{K}[X_1, ..., X_n]$ be the polynomial ring. Let $I$ be a monomial ideal of $S$ with up to 5 generators. In this paper, we present a computational experiment which allows us to prove that…
This is a short survey article written for the Erd\H{o}s centennial conference in Budapest in 2013. The main two topics covered are Szemer\'edi's theorem and its ramifications, and the Erd\H{o}s discrepancy problem. There is an emphasis on…
These are (not updated) notes from the lectures I gave in St.Petersburg in July of 2001. Their goal is to give an expository account of the proof of Kontsevich's combinatorial formula for intersections on moduli spaces of curves following…
This text offers a personal account of the scientific legacy of two giants of mathematical physics at the turn of the Millenium and their heritage in Canada, their land of adoption.
The aim of this article is twofold. First, we shall review and analyse the Neo-Kantian justification for the application of probabilistic concepts in physics that was defended by Hans Reichenbach early in his career, notably in his…
Abdus Salam's correspondence during his time as Director of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is held in the Abdus Salam Archive of the Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics+. I use this correspondence to…
This paper is an investigation into Cantor works about representing a function with trigonometric series, and his proofs about its uniqueness. These works are important, because they cause invention of point-set topology, and foundation of…
We present a pedagogical introduction to the recent advances in the computational geometry, physical implications, and data science of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Aimed at the beginning research student and using Calabi-Yau spaces as an exciting…
This paper is around the topics I discussed in the lecture I gave at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, July 2009, in the Introductory Workshop. This paper can be read as a companion to my paper [Sa\"i di], where detailed proofs can…
These are the lecture notes of a course given by the first author on December 27, 2012 - January 4, 2013, held at the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.
