相关论文: A report on Wiles' Cambridge lectures
We study how the paradigm of Newton's science, based on the organization of scientific knowledge as a series of mathematical laws, was definitively accepted in science courses - in the last decades of the XVIII century, in England as well…
The Alder-Andrews Theorem, a partition inequality generalizing Euler's partition identity, the first Rogers-Ramanujan identity, and a theorem of Schur to $d$-distinct partitions of $n$, was proved successively by Andrews in 1971, Yee in…
This note is an expository account of the theory of staggered sheaves, based on a series of lectures given by the author at RIMS (Kyoto) in October 2008.
In this paper new $\Gamma$-functional is constructed upon the basis of the set of almost linear increments of the Hardy-Littlewood integral. This functional generates a $\Gamma$-equivalent of the Fermat-Wiles theorem and also new set of…
Those lectures revolve around the following problem: given a system of n real polynomials in n variables, count the number of real roots. The first lecture is a course on Newton iteration and alpha-theory. The second describes an…
I give a short review of our present understanding of new theories of the electroweak scale, with emphasis on recent progress. Plenary talk at the EPS 2007 Conference at Manchester.
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 notes are from a 4-lecture mini-course taught by the author at the conference on von Neumann algebras as part of the ``Geometrie non commutative en mathematiques et physique'' month at CIRM in 2004.
In this essay, we see how prime cyclotomic fields (cyclotomic fields obtained by adjoining a primitive p-th root of unity to Q, where p is an odd prime) can lead to elegant proofs of number theoretical concepts. We namely develop the notion…
In this paper it is stressed that there is no {\em physical} reason for symmetries to be linear and that Lie group theory is therefore too restrictive. We illustrate this with some simple examples. Then we give a readable review on the…
Sophie Germain (1776-1831) was the first woman we know who did important original research in mathematics, specifically in elasticity theory and number theory. Celebrating her semiquincentennial year, we outline Germain's recently unearthed…
Let ${\mathcal O}$ be an involutive discrete valuation ring with residue field of characteristic not 2. Let $A$ be a quotient of ${\mathcal O}$ by a nonzero power of its maximal ideal and let $*$ be the involution that $A$ inherits from…
We give an almost entirely model-theoretic account of both Ramsey classes of finite structures and of generalized indiscernibles as studied in special cases in (for example) [7], [9]. We understand "theories of indiscernibles" to be special…
The purpose of this paper is to construct a quantum field theory suitable for describing quantum electrodynamics and Yang-Mills theory in a form which satisfies the conditions of the Millennium prize offered by the Clay Mathematics…
A contemporary physicist would be hard put to agree entirely with the author of a 1959 textbook on quantum mechanics, who wrote: "A second simple, one-dimensional system, somewhat divorced from reality but illustrative of the principles of…
In 2010, Vladimir Voevodsky gave a lecture on "What If Current Foundations of Mathematics Are Inconsistent?" Among other things he said that he was seriously suspicious that an inconsistency in PA (first-order Peano arithmetic) might…
Recently delivered lectures on Self-Referential Mathematics, [2], at the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, University of Pretoria, are briefly presented. Comments follow on the subject, as well as on Inconsistent…
In this paper we use our theory of Jacob's ladders on the Raabe's integral to obtain: (i) The thirteenth equivalent of the Fermat-Wiles theorem, as well as (ii) almost exact decomposition of certain elements of continuum set of increments…
We give a survey on the general effective reduction theory of integral polynomials and its applications. We concentrate on results providing the finiteness for the number of `$\mathbb{Z}$-equivalence classes' and…
Almost forty years ago, C.T.C. Wall systematically analyzed the set of "thickenings" of a finite CW complex. Of the results he obtained, probably the most computationally important is the "suspension theorem," which is an exact sequence…
