Tomsk Polytechnic University, Russia E-mail: [email protected] 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 01, 02, 01A55 1. The problem of infinity in mathematics is one of those “eternal problems” to which the science comes back on each coil of its development. Ancient greek mathematician Euclid (nearby 340–287 B.C.) introduced the Axiom 8 “And the Whole is more then its Part” [1, I, p. 15]. On the boundary of XIX and XX centuries founders of the sets theory rejected Euclid’s Axiom 8 by ignoring (or explisitly); an equivalency between any set and its own part has referred to as characteristic property of infinite sets. P. Cohen considered the existence of infinite collections as the most important issue, he recognized the neces- sity of inserting infinity axiom and emphasized, that “...by tradition the atti- tude to infinite sets was the criterion of discrepancy between mathematicians” [2, IV.13]. We think, at an axiomatization of the sets theory Euclid’s Axiom 8 was incorrectly transformed into “an axiom of infinity”. Any formulation of Axiom infinity [3, S. 11], as well as Peano’s Axiom of natural numbers set infinity [3, S. 12], is of potential character. Now, we formulate first statement. Hypothesis 1. Any infinite set is of potential nature. 2. Remaining within the framework of Halmosh sets naive theory [3], we proved Euclid’s Axiom 8 in the form of following theorem. Theorem 1. B ⊂ A ⇒ (∀ϕ : A → B∃(a,q),a,q ∈ A : a 6= q & ϕ(a)= ϕ(q)). Theorem 1 has the following canonically short form: B ⊂ A ⇒ ¬(A ∼ B), in particular, q∈ / A ⇒ ¬(A ∼ (A ∪ {q})). This theorem demonstration contains, 2 Logic and Foundations in particular, references to Axiom of Choice [3, S. 15], the concept of exact rearrangement of set A and concept of the maximal element of chains family formed from set A subsets and others too. Remaining within Theorem 1, now we formulate the following two sugges- tions: Hypothesis 2. Euclid Axiom 8 is unprovable without Axiom of Choice. Statement 1. The power sets theory and continuum hypothesis ([2]–[3]) has new way of development with Euclid’s Axiom 8.

The Eilenberg machines model has interesting properties. First, It is general because it unifies most of the devices having a finite-state control (including Turing machines). Second, it is expres- sive thanks to the following modularity property: an Eilenberg machine defines a characteristic relation that shall be used in another Eilenberg machine. We study the effective fragment of Eilenberg machines for which we propose a sim- ulation engine [2, 3]. The correction of the simulation engine is proved using a proof assistant. This approach of effective Eilenberg machines may be used to solve properly problems which use multiple stages of traditional finite-state machines. Logic and Foundations 3 References [1] S.

In informal language, the consistency of S shall be expressed by the sentence: there are no meaningful formulae y and z where z is the negation of y such that both are theorems of S. we then show that the formalized consistency statement for the arbitrary system S cannot be proved in a certain sub-theory T of Peanos arithmetic. This arithmetic theory T with + and ., is much stronger than Q. It will follow that the consistency of Q formalized in the manner we do, cannot be proved in T, let alone in Q itself, which is a sub-theory of T. When formalizing the notion of theorem-hood in any arithmetic system with + and ., we have to refer to sequences in the formal language, since a proof is a sequence of formulae. In the construction of the proof-predicate the usual method is to allot (recursively) a single Godel number (g.n.) to each formula and then a single g.n. to a sequence of formulae (forming a proof, say of the last formula ). This is what we have done. The novelty in our present construction is that instead of codifying sequences by single natural numbers, we use a number triple. This device enables us, as we shall see, to do away with the need to find a defining formula for the recursive function xy. With a Godel triple to codify a sequence, our proof-predicate is a formula ProvS (c,d,l,y) with 4 free variables, 3 of which are thought of as always appearing in a bunch. ProvS (c,d,l,y) says that the triple < c,d,l > yields a sequence of expressions (i.e. their g.n.’s) constituting a proof in S of the formulae with g.n.y. Thus the triple < c,d,l > 4 Logic and Foundations merely indicates a sequence of expressions without mentioning anything about it being finite or infinite. We shall exploit this to our advantage, using an infinite sequence of expressions to constitute a proof of its last member. ❖ ❖ ❖ Analogy of Hilbert’s Tenth Problem in Observers Mathematics

    Trace dynamics and division algebras: towards quantum gravity and unification Tejinder P. Singh Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Homi Bhabha Road, Mumbai 400005, India e-mail: [email protected] Accepted for publication in Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung A on October 4, 2020 v4. Submitted to arXiv.org [hep-th] on November 9, 2020 ABSTRACT We have recently proposed a Lagrangian in trace dynamics at the Planck scale, for unification of gravitation, Yang-Mills fields, and fermions. Dynamical variables are described by odd- grade (fermionic) and even-grade (bosonic) Grassmann matrices. Evolution takes place in Connes time. At energies much lower than Planck scale, trace dynamics reduces to quantum field theory. In the present paper we explain that the correct understanding of spin requires us to formulate the theory in 8-D octonionic space. The automorphisms of the octonion algebra, which belong to the smallest exceptional Lie group G2, replace space- time diffeomorphisms and internal gauge transformations, bringing them under a common unified fold. Building on earlier work by other researchers on division algebras, we propose the Lorentz-weak unification at the Planck scale, the symmetry group being the stabiliser group of the quaternions inside the octonions. This is one of the two maximal sub-groups of G2, the other one being SU(3), the element preserver group of octonions. This latter group, coupled with U(1)em, describes the electro-colour symmetry, as shown earlier by Furey. We arXiv:2009.05574v4 [hep-th] 9 Nov 2020 predict a new massless spin one boson [the `Lorentz' boson] which should be looked for in experiments.

  • The Circle Packing Theorem
    Alma Mater Studiorum · Università di Bologna SCUOLA DI SCIENZE Corso di Laurea in Matematica THE CIRCLE PACKING THEOREM Tesi di Laurea in Analisi Relatore: Pesentata da: Chiar.mo Prof. Georgian Sarghi Nicola Arcozzi Sessione Unica Anno Accademico 2018/2019 Introduction The study of tangent circles has a rich history that dates back to antiquity. Already in the third century BC, Apollonius of Perga, in his exstensive study of conics, introduced problems concerning tangency. A famous result attributed to Apollonius is the following. Theorem 0.1 (Apollonius - 250 BC). Given three mutually tangent circles C1, C2, 1 C3 with disjoint interiors , there are precisely two circles tangent to all the three initial circles (see Figure1). A simple proof of this fact can be found here [Sar11] and employs the use of Möbius transformations. The topic of circle packings as presented here, is sur- prisingly recent and originates from William Thurston's famous lecture notes on 3-manifolds [Thu78] in which he proves the theorem now known as the Koebe-Andreev- Thurston Theorem or Circle Packing Theorem. He proves it as a consequence of previous work of E. M. Figure 1 Andreev and establishes uniqueness from Mostov's rigid- ity theorem, an imporant result in Hyperbolic Geometry. A few years later Reiner Kuhnau pointed out a 1936 proof by german mathematician Paul Koebe. 1We dene the interior of a circle to be one of the connected components of its complement (see the colored regions in Figure1 as an example). i ii A circle packing is a nite set of circles in the plane, or equivalently in the Riemann sphere, with disjoint interiors and whose union is connected.

  • Part I. Origin of the Species Jordan Algebras Were Conceived and Grew to Maturity in the Landscape of Physics
    1 Part I. Origin of the Species Jordan algebras were conceived and grew to maturity in the landscape of physics. They were born in 1933 in a paper \Uber VerallgemeinerungsmÄoglichkeiten des Formalismus der Quantenmechanik" by the physicist Pascual Jordan; just one year later, with the help of John von Neumann and Eugene Wigner in the paper \On an algebraic generalization of the quantum mechanical formalism," they reached adulthood. Jordan algebras arose from the search for an \exceptional" setting for quantum mechanics. In the usual interpretation of quantum mechanics (the \Copenhagen model"), the physical observables are represented by Hermitian matrices (or operators on Hilbert space), those which are self-adjoint x¤ = x: The basic operations on matrices or operators are multiplication by a complex scalar ¸x, addition x + y, multipli- cation xy of matrices (composition of operators), and forming the complex conjugate transpose matrix (adjoint operator) x¤. This formalism is open to the objection that the operations are not \observable," not intrinsic to the physically meaningful part of the system: the scalar multiple ¸x is not again hermitian unless the scalar ¸ is real, the product xy is not observable unless x and y commute (or, as the physicists say, x and y are \simultaneously observable"), and the adjoint is invisible (it is the identity map on the observables, though nontrivial on matrices or operators in general). In 1932 the physicist Pascual Jordan proposed a program to discover a new algebraic setting for quantum mechanics, which would be freed from dependence on an invisible all-determining metaphysical matrix structure, yet would enjoy all the same algebraic bene¯ts as the highly successful Copenhagen model.

  • A Unified Approach to Various Generalizations of Armendariz Rings
    Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 81 (2010), 361–397 doi:10.1017/S0004972709001178 A UNIFIED APPROACH TO VARIOUS GENERALIZATIONS OF ARMENDARIZ RINGS GREG MARKS ˛, RYSZARD MAZUREK and MICHAŁ ZIEMBOWSKI (Received 5 February 2009) Abstract Let R be a ring, S a strictly ordered monoid, and ! V S ! End.R/ a monoid homomorphism. The skew generalized power series ring RTTS;!UU is a common generalization of (skew) polynomial rings, (skew) power series rings, (skew) Laurent polynomial rings, (skew) group rings, and Mal’cev–Neumann Laurent series rings. We study the .S; !/-Armendariz condition on R, a generalization of the standard Armendariz condition from polynomials to skew generalized power series. We resolve the structure of .S; !/- Armendariz rings and obtain various necessary or sufficient conditions for a ring to be .S; !/-Armendariz, unifying and generalizing a number of known Armendariz-like conditions in the aforementioned special cases. As particular cases of our general results we obtain several new theorems on the Armendariz condition; for example, left uniserial rings are Armendariz. We also characterize when a skew generalized power series ring is reduced or semicommutative, and we obtain partial characterizations for it to be reversible or 2-primal. 2000 Mathematics subject classification: primary 16S99, 16W60; secondary 06F05, 16P60, 16S36, 16U80, 20M25.

Introduction In 1974 Armendariz noted in [3] that whenever the product of two polynomials over a reduced ring R (that is, a ring without nonzero nilpotent elements) is zero, then the products of their coefficients are all zero, that is, in the polynomial ring RTxU the following holds: for any f .x/ D P a xi ; g.x/ D P b x j 2 RTxU; i j (∗) if f .x/g.x/ D 0; then ai b j D 0 for all i; j: Nowadays the property (∗) is known as the Armendariz condition, and rings R that satisfy (∗) are called Armendariz rings.

    Tubal Matrices Liqun Qi∗ and ZiyanLuo† June 15, 2021 Abstract It was shown recently that the f-diagonal tensor in the T-SVD factorization must satisfy some special properties. Such f-diagonal tensors are called s-diagonal tensors. In this paper, we show that such a discussion can be extended to any real invertible linear transformation. We show that two Eckart-Young like theo- rems hold for a third order real tensor, under any doubly real-preserving unitary transformation. The normalized Discrete Fourier Transformation (DFT) matrix, an arbitrary orthogonal matrix, the product of the normalized DFT matrix and an arbitrary orthogonal matrix are examples of doubly real-preserving unitary transformations. We use tubal matrices as a tool for our study. We feel that the tubal matrix language makes this approach more natural. Key words.

    INTEGRAL DOMAINS WITH BOOLEAN t-CLASS SEMIGROUP S. KABBAJ AND A. MIMOUNI Abstract. The t-class semigroup of an integral domain is the semigroup of the isomorphy classes of the t-ideals with the operation induced by t- multiplication. This paper investigates integral domains with Boolean t-class semigroup with an emphasis on the GCD and stability conditions. The main results establish t-analogues for well-known results on Pr¨ufer domains and B´ezout domains of finite character. 1. Introduction All rings considered in this paper are integral domains (i.e., commutative with identity and without zero-divisors). The class semigroup of a domain R, denoted S(R), is the semigroup of nonzero fractional ideals modulo its subsemigroup of nonzero principal ideals [11, 41]. The t-class semigroup of R, denoted St(R), is the semigroup of fractional t-ideals modulo its subsemigroup of nonzero principal ideals, that is, the semigroup of the isomorphy classes of the t-ideals of R with the operation induced by ideal t-multiplication. Notice that St(R) is the t-analogue of S(R), as the class group Cl(R) is the t-analogue of the Picard group Pic(R). The following set-theoretic inclusions always hold: Pic(R) ⊆ Cl(R) ⊆ St(R) ⊆ S(R). Note that the first and third inclusions turn into equality for Pr¨ufer domains and the second does so for Krull domains. More details on these objects are provided in the next section. Divisibility properties of a domain R are often reflected in group or semigroup- theoretic properties of Cl(R) or S(R).

  • Characterization of Pr¨Ufer-Like Monoids and Domains by Gcd
    CHARACTERIZATION OF PRUFER-LIKE¨ MONOIDS AND DOMAINS BY GCD-THEORIES FRANZ HALTER-KOCH Abstract. We combine ideal-theoretic and divisor-theoretic methods to characterize various classes of Pr¨ufer-like monoids and domains by the gcd-properties of certain semi- groups of invertible ideals. 1. Introduction One of the main themes of multiplicative ideal theory during the last decades was the characterization and investigation of various classes of integral domains defined by the invertibility properties of certain classes of ideals. In this field, Pr¨uferdomains form the classical antetype, and there is a wealth of generalizations and variations of this concept in the literature. In this paper, we combine ideal-theoretic and divisor-theoretic methods to arrange some known characterizations of Pr¨ufer-like domains in a new way and to present several new ones. One of the basic ideas in our investigations is to address the gcd-properties of certain semigroups of invertible (integral) ideals and to combine this viewpoint with the concept of gcd-theories. Although the theory of integral domains is our main concern, the paper is written in the language of (commutative cancellative) monoids in order to point out the purely multiplicative character of the theory. The main results are the Theorems 3.4 and 3.5 and the subsequent theorems and corollaries. In Section 2 we gather the necessary results from the theory of monoid homomorphisms and ideal systems. 2. Monoids and homomorphisms Throughout this paper, by a monoid D we mean (deviating from the usual termi- nology) a commutative multiplicative semigroup with unit element 1 ∈ D and a zero element 0 ∈ D (satisfying 1x = x and 0x = 0 for all x ∈ D), and we always assume that D• = D \{0} is cancellative (that is, for all a, b ∈ D and c ∈ D•, if ac = bc, then a = b ).

  • On Dynamical Gaskets Generated by Rational Maps, Kleinian Groups, and Schwarz Reflections
    ON DYNAMICAL GASKETS GENERATED BY RATIONAL MAPS, KLEINIAN GROUPS, AND SCHWARZ REFLECTIONS RUSSELL LODGE, MIKHAIL LYUBICH, SERGEI MERENKOV, AND SABYASACHI MUKHERJEE Abstract. According to the Circle Packing Theorem, any triangulation of the Riemann sphere can be realized as a nerve of a circle packing. Reflections in the dual circles generate a Kleinian group H whose limit set is an Apollonian- like gasket ΛH . We design a surgery that relates H to a rational map g whose Julia set Jg is (non-quasiconformally) homeomorphic to ΛH . We show for a large class of triangulations, however, the groups of quasisymmetries of ΛH and Jg are isomorphic and coincide with the corresponding groups of self- homeomorphisms. Moreover, in the case of H, this group is equal to the group of M¨obiussymmetries of ΛH , which is the semi-direct product of H itself and the group of M¨obiussymmetries of the underlying circle packing. In the case of the tetrahedral triangulation (when ΛH is the classical Apollonian gasket), we give a piecewise affine model for the above actions which is quasiconformally equivalent to g and produces H by a David surgery. We also construct a mating between the group and the map coexisting in the same dynamical plane and show that it can be generated by Schwarz reflections in the deltoid and the inscribed circle.

    Differential graded Lie algebras and Deformation theory Marco Manetti 1 Differential graded Lie algebras Let L be a lie algebra over a fixed field K of characteristic 0. Definition 1. A K-linear map d : L ! L is called a derivation if it satisfies the Leibniz rule d[a; b] = [da; b]+[a; db]. n d P dn Lemma. If d is nilpotent (i.e. d = 0 for n sufficiently large) then e = n≥0 n! : L ! L is an isomorphism of Lie algebras. Proof. Exercise. Definition 2. L is called nilpotent if the descending central series L ⊃ [L; L] ⊃ [L; [L; L]] ⊃ · · · stabilizes at 0. (I.e., if we write [L]2 = [L; L], [L]3 = [L; [L; L]], etc., then [L]n = 0 for n sufficiently large.) Note that in the finite-dimensional case, this is equivalent to the other common definition that for every x 2 L, adx is nilpotent. We have the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula (BCH). Theorem. For every nilpotent Lie algebra L there is an associative product • : L × L ! L satisfying 1. functoriality in L; i.e. if f : L !

  • Fourier Transform, Convolution Theorem, and Linear Dynamical Systems April 28, 2016
    Mathematical Tools for Neuroscience (NEU 314) Princeton University, Spring 2016 Jonathan Pillow Lecture 23: Fourier Transform, Convolution Theorem, and Linear Dynamical Systems April 28, 2016. Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) We will focus on the discrete Fourier transform, which applies to discretely sampled signals (i.e., vectors). Linear algebra provides a simple way to think about the Fourier transform: it is simply a change of basis, specifically a mapping from the time domain to a representation in terms of a weighted combination of sinusoids of different frequencies. The discrete Fourier transform is therefore equiv- alent to multiplying by an orthogonal (or \unitary", which is the same concept when the entries are complex-valued) matrix1. For a vector of length N, the matrix that performs the DFT (i.e., that maps it to a basis of sinusoids) is an N × N matrix. The k'th row of this matrix is given by exp(−2πikt), for k 2 [0; :::; N − 1] (where we assume indexing starts at 0 instead of 1), and t is a row vector t=0:N-1;. Recall that exp(iθ) = cos(θ) + i sin(θ), so this gives us a compact way to represent the signal with a linear superposition of sines and cosines. The first row of the DFT matrix is all ones (since exp(0) = 1), and so the first element of the DFT corresponds to the sum of the elements of the signal. It is often known as the \DC component". The next row is a complex sinusoid that completes one cycle over the length of the signal, and each subsequent row has a frequency that is an integer multiple of this \fundamental" frequency.

  • Study on the Problem of the Number Ring Transformation
    The Research on Circle Family and Sphere Family The Original Topic: The Research and Generalizations on Several Kinds of Partition Problems in Combinatorics The Affiliated High School of South China Normal University Yan Chen Zhuang Ziquan Faculty Adviser:Li Xinghuai 153 The Research on Circle Family and Sphere Family 【Abstract】 A circle family is a group of separate or tangent circles in the plane. In this paper, we study how many parts at most a plane can be divided by several circle families if the circles in a same family must be separate (resp. if the circles can be tangent). We also study the necessary conditions for the intersection of two circle families. Then we primarily discuss the similar problems in higher dimensional space and in the end, raise some conjectures. 【Key words】 Circle Family; Structure Graph; Sphere Family; Generalized Inversion 【Changes】 1. Part 5 ‘Some Conjectures and Unsolved Problems’ has been rewritten. 2. Lemma 4.2 has been restated. 3. Some small mistakes have been corrected. 154 1 The Definitions and Preliminaries To begin with, we introduce some newly definitions and related preliminaries. Definition 1.1 Circle Family A circle family of the first kind is a group of separate circles;A circle family of the second kind is a group of separate or tangent circles. The capacity of a circle family is the number of circles in a circle family,the intersection of circle families means there are several circle families and any two circles in different circle families intersect. Definition 1.2 Compaction If the capacity of a circle family is no less than 3,and it intersects with another circle family with capacity 2,we call such a circle family compact.
