The concept of definability of quantum fields in a set-theoretical foundation is introduced. We propose an axiomatic set theory and then derive a nonlinear sigma model and the Schroedinger equation in a Lagrangian form; this follows…

The concept of definability of physical fields within a set-theoretical foundation is introduced. We propose an axiomatic set theory and show the Schroedinger equation and, more generally, a nonlinear sigma model come naturally out of the…

A mathematically rigorous Hamiltonian formulation for classical and quantum field theories is given. New results include clarifications of the structure of linear fields, and a plausible formulation for nonlinear fields. Many mathematical…

The stipulation that no measurable quantity could have an infinite value is indispensable in physics. At the same time, in mathematics, the possibility of considering an infinite procedure as a whole is usually taken for granted. However,…

The ``unification'' of fundamental physical forces (interactions) imagines a ``single'' conceptual entity using which {\em all} the observable or physical phenomena, {\em ie}, changes to physical bodies, would be suitably describable. The…

We generalize the concept of a field by allowing addition to be a partial operation. We show that elements of such a "partially additive field" share many similarities with physical quantities. In particular, they form subsets of mutually…

A physical field has an infinite number of degrees of freedom since it has a field value at each location of a continuous space. Therefore, it is impossible to know a field from finite measurements alone and prior information on the field…

The first part is expository: it explains how finite fields may be used to prove theorems on infinite fields by a reduction mod p process. The second part gives a variant of P.Smith's fixed point theorem which applies in any characteristic.

We clarified the connection between measurements and partitions, and discussed the meaning of semiotics for measurements based on functions. The terms of property and relation quantity were defined by our understanding of partitions and…

Many have wondered how mathematics, which appears to be the result of both human creativity and human discovery, can possibly exhibit the degree of success and seemingly-universal applicability to quantifying the physical world as…

The concept of infinity took centuries to achieve recognized status in the field of mathematics, despite the fact that it was implicitly present in nearly all mathematical endeavors. Here I explore the idea that a similar development might…

In this work, we attempt to define a notion of compositeness compatible with Quantum Field Theory. Considering the analytic properties of the S-matrix, we conclude that there is no satisfactory definition of compositeness compatible with…

A discussion of different criteria of consistency of quantum field theory from the point of view of physics and mathematics.

We establish a connection between finite fields and finite dynamical systems. We show how this connection can be used to shed light on some problems in finite dynamical systems and in particular, in linear systems.

In the last few years there have been rapid developments in SMT solving for finite fields. These include new decision procedures, new implementations of SMT theory solvers, and new software verifiers that rely on SMT solving for finite…

This paper is a survey of author's mathematical and logical study of the problem of quantization of fields.

I summarize here the logic that leads us to a program for the Theory of the Total Field in Einstein's sense. The purpose is to show that this theory is a logical culmination of the developments of (fundamental) physical concepts and, hence,…

As an approach to a Theory of Everything a framework for developing a coherent theory of mathematics and physics together is described. The main characteristic of such a theory is discussed: the theory must be valid and and sufficiently…

We lay the groundwork for a formal framework that studies scientific theories and can serve as a unified foundation for the different theories within physics. We define a scientific theory as a set of verifiable statements, assertions that…

Several examples are used to illustrate how we deal cavalierly with infinities and unphysical systems in physics. Upon examining these examples in the context of infinities from Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers, the only known…
