The purpose of this paper is to elucidate, by means of concepts and theorems drawn from mathematical logic, the conditions under which the existence of a multiverse is a logical necessity in mathematical physics, and the implications of…

A variety of associative algebras over a field of characteristic 0 is called minimal if its codimension sequence grows much faster than the codimension sequence of any of its proper subvarieties. By the results of Giambruno and Zaicev it…

An elementary model is given which shows how an objective (hence local and noncontextual) picture of the microworld can be constructed without conflicting with quantum mechanics (QM). This contradicts known no-go theorems, which however do…

Let X be a definable sub-set of some o-minimal structure. We study the spectrum of X, in relation with the definability of types.

A uniform algebra $A$ on its Shilov boundary $X$ is {\em maximal} if $A$ is not $C(X)$ and there is no uniform algebra properly contained between $A$ and $C(X)$. It is {\em essentially pervasive} if $A$ is dense in $C(F)$ whenever $F$ is a…

Several recent works suggested the possibility of describing inflation by means of a renormalization group equation. In this paper we discuss the application of these methods to models of quintessence. In this framework a period of…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathcal{O}_K$ be its ring of integers. Let $\mathfrak{B}$ be a primitive collection of ideals in $\mathcal{O}_K$. We show that any $\mathfrak{B}$-free system is essentially minimal.…

It is well-known that the Pl\"ucker relations generate the ideal of relations of the maximal minors of a generic matrix. In this paper we discuss the relations between minors of a (non-maximal) fixed size. We will exhibit minimal relations…

We show that a parametrized $\diamondsuit$ principle, corresponding to the uniformity of the meager ideal, implies that the minimum cardinality of an infinite maximal almost disjoint family of block subspaces in a countable vector space is…

We investigate structural properties of non-sofic groups, assuming that such groups exist. We introduce and study two classes: minimal non-sofic groups and $\omega$-non-sofic groups. For minimal non-sofic groups, we establish strong…

Unimodularity is localized to a complete stationary type, and its properties are analysed. Some variants of unimodularity for definable and type-definable sets are introduced, and the relationship between these different notions is studied.…

The first papers on o-minimal structures appeared in the mid 1980s, since then the subject has grown into a wide ranging generalisation of semialgebraic, subanalytic and subpfaffian geometry. In these notes we try to show that this is in…

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and M be an R-module. A proper ideal I of R is said to be a $z^\circ$-ideal if for each $a \in I$ the intersection of all minimal prime ideals containing a is contained in I. The purpose of this…

We investigate the class $\mathcal{MN}$ of groups with the property that all maximal subgroups are normal. The class $\mathcal{MN}$ appeared in the framework of the study of potential counter-examples to the Andrews-Curtis conjecture. In…

Transductive learning considers a training set of $m$ labeled samples and a test set of $u$ unlabeled samples, with the goal of best labeling that particular test set. Conversely, inductive learning considers a training set of $m$ labeled…

In this paper we consider genus one equations of degree n, namely a (generalised) binary quartic when n = 2, a ternary cubic when n = 3, and a pair of quaternary quadrics when n = 4. A new definition for the minimality of genus one…

Let M be the ideal of first category subsets of R and non(M)=min{card X: X \subseteq R, X \not\in M}. We consider families \Phi of sequences converging to \infty, with the property that for every open set U \subseteq R that is unbounded…

We consider modules E over a C*-algebra A which are equipped with a map into A_+ that has the formal properties of a norm. We completely determine the structure of these modules. In particular, we show that if A has no nonzero commutative…

We sow that there exists a generic extension of the G\"{o}del's constructible universe in which diamond holds and there exists a subset $Y \subseteq \omega_1$ such that for stationary many $\delta < \omega_1,$ the set $Y \cap \delta$ is not…

We formulate a variational principle for a collection of projectors in an indefinite inner product space. The existence of minimizers is proved in various situations.
