The Stationary Phase Method For Real Analytic Geometry, Domenico Napoletani, Daniele C. Struppa
The Stationary Phase Method For Real Analytic Geometry, Domenico Napoletani, Daniele C. Struppa
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We prove that the existence of isolated solutions of systems of equations of analytical functions on compact real domains in Rp, is equivalent to the convergence of the phase of a suitable complex valued integral I(h) for h→∞. As an application, we then use this result to prove that the problem of establishing the irrationality of the value of an analytic function F(x) at a point x0 can be rephrased in terms of a similar phase convergence.
Concurrent Kleene Algebra With Tests And Branching Automata, Peter Jipsen, M. Andrew Moshier
Concurrent Kleene Algebra With Tests And Branching Automata, Peter Jipsen, M. Andrew Moshier
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We introduce concurrent Kleene algebra with tests (CKAT) as a combination of Kleene algebra with tests (KAT) of Kozen and Smith with concurrent Kleene algebras (CKA), introduced by Hoare, Möller, Struth and Wehrman. CKAT provides a relatively simple algebraic model for reasoning about semantics of concurrent programs. We generalize guarded strings to guarded series-parallel strings , or gsp-strings, to give a concrete language model for CKAT. Combining nondeterministic guarded automata of Kozen with branching automata of Lodaya and Weil one obtains a model for processing gsp-strings in parallel. To ensure that the model satisfies the weak exchange law (x‖y)(z‖w)≤(xz)‖(yw) of …
The Varieties Of Indispensability Arguments, Marco Panza, Andrea Sereni
The Varieties Of Indispensability Arguments, Marco Panza, Andrea Sereni
MPP Published Research
The indispensability argument (IA) comes in many different versions that all reduce to a general valid schema. Providing a sound IA amounts to providing a full interpretation of the schema according to which all its premises are true. Hence, arguing whether IA is sound results in wondering whether the schema admits such an interpretation. We discuss in full details all the parameters on which the specification of the general schema may depend. In doing this, we consider how different versions of IA can be obtained, also through different specifications of the notion of indispensability. We then distinguish between schematic and …
Generating All Finite Modular Lattices Of A Given Size, Peter Jipsen, Nathan Lawless
Generating All Finite Modular Lattices Of A Given Size, Peter Jipsen, Nathan Lawless
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
Modular lattices, introduced by R. Dedekind, are an important subvariety of lattices that includes all distributive lattices. Heitzig and Reinhold [8] developed an algorithm to enumerate, up to isomorphism, all finite lattices up to size 18. Here we adapt and improve this algorithm to construct and count modular lattices up to size 24, semimodular lattices up to size 22, and lattices of size 19. We also show that 2 n−3 is a lower bound for the number of nonisomorphic modular lattices of size n.
Introduction To Functions And Generality Of Logic. Reflections On Frege's And Dedekind's Logicisms, Hourya Benis Sinaceur, Marco Panza, Gabriel Sandu
Introduction To Functions And Generality Of Logic. Reflections On Frege's And Dedekind's Logicisms, Hourya Benis Sinaceur, Marco Panza, Gabriel Sandu
MPP Published Research
This book examines three connected aspects of Frege’s logicism: the differences between Dedekind’s and Frege’s interpretation of the term ‘logic’ and related terms and reflects on Frege’s notion of function, comparing its understanding and the role it played in Frege’s and Lagrange’s foundational programs. It concludes with an examination of the notion of arbitrary function, taking into account Frege’s, Ramsey’s and Russell’s view on the subject. Composed of three chapters, this book sheds light on important aspects of Dedekind’s and Frege’s logicisms. The first chapter explains how, although he shares Frege’s aim at substituting logical standards of rigor to intuitive …
Spacetime Algebra As A Powerful Tool For Electromagnetism, Justin Dressel, Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Franco Nori
Spacetime Algebra As A Powerful Tool For Electromagnetism, Justin Dressel, Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Franco Nori
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We present a comprehensive introduction to spacetime algebra that emphasizes its practicality and power as a tool for the study of electromagnetism. We carefully develop this natural (Clifford) algebra of the Minkowski spacetime geometry, with a particular focus on its intrinsic (and often overlooked) complex structure. Notably, the scalar imaginary that appears throughout the electromagnetic theory properly corresponds to the unit 4-volume of spacetime itself, and thus has physical meaning. The electric and magnetic fields are combined into a single complex and frame-independent bivector field, which generalizes the Riemann-Silberstein complex vector that has recently resurfaced in studies of the single …
Newton On Indivisibles, Antoni Malet, Marco Panza
Newton On Indivisibles, Antoni Malet, Marco Panza
MPP Published Research
Though Wallis’s Arithmetica infinitorum was one of Newton’s major sources of inspiration during the first years of his mathematical education, indivisibles were not a central feature of his mathematical production.
Wallis On Indivisibles, Antoni Malet, Marco Panza
Wallis On Indivisibles, Antoni Malet, Marco Panza
MPP Published Research
The present chapter is devoted, first, to discuss in detail the structure and results of Wallis’s major and most influential mathematical work, the Arithmetica Infinitorum (Wallis 1656). Next we will revise Wallis’s views on indivisibles as articulated in his answer to Hobbes’s criticism in the early 1670s. Finally, we will turn to his discussion of the proper way to understand the angle of contingence in the first half of the 1680s. As we shall see, there are marked differences in the status that indivisibles seem to enjoy in Wallis’s thought along his mathematical career. These differences correlate with the changing …
Four Tails Problems For Dynamical Collapse Theories, Kelvin J. Mcqueen
Four Tails Problems For Dynamical Collapse Theories, Kelvin J. Mcqueen
Philosophy Faculty Articles and Research
The primary quantum mechanical equation of motion entails that measurements typically do not have determinate outcomes, but result in superpositions of all possible outcomes. Dynamical collapse theories (e.g. GRW) supplement this equation with a stochastic Gaussian collapse function, intended to collapse the superposition of outcomes into one outcome. But the Gaussian collapses are imperfect in a way that leaves the superpositions intact. This is the tails problem. There are several ways of making this problem more precise. But many authors dismiss the problem without considering the more severe formulations. Here I distinguish four distinct tails problems. The first (bare tails …
Extensions Of Functors From Set To V-Cat, Adriana Balan, Alexander Kurz, Jirí Velebil
Extensions Of Functors From Set To V-Cat, Adriana Balan, Alexander Kurz, Jirí Velebil
Engineering Faculty Articles and Research
We show that for a commutative quantale V every functor Set --> V-cat has an enriched left- Kan extension. As a consequence, coalgebras over Set are subsumed by coalgebras over V-cat. Moreover, one can build functors on V-cat by equipping Set-functors with a metric.

Pruebas Entimemáticas Y Pruebas Canónicas En La Geometría Plana De Euclides, Marco Panza, Abel Lassalle Casanave
MPP Published Research
Dado que la aplicación del Postulado I.2 no es uniforme en Elementos, ¿de qué manera debería ser aplicado en la geometría plana de Euclides? Además de legitimar la pregunta misma desde la perspectiva de una filosofía de la práctica matemática, nos proponemos esbozar una perspectiva general de análisis conceptual de textos matemáticos que involucra una noción ampliada de la teoría matemática como sistema de autorizaciones o potestades y una noción de prueba que depende del auditorio.
Since the application of Postulate I.2 in the Elements is not uniform, one could wonder in what way should it be applied in Euclid’s …
The Logical System Of Frege’S Grundgesetze : A Rational Reconstruction, Méven Cadet, Marco Panza
The Logical System Of Frege’S Grundgesetze : A Rational Reconstruction, Méven Cadet, Marco Panza
MPP Published Research
This paper aims at clarifying the nature of Frege's system of logic, as presented in the first volume of the Grundgesetze . We undertake a rational reconstruction of this system, by distinguishing its propositional and predicate fragments. This allows us to emphasise the differences and similarities between this system and a modern system of classical second-order logic.
Approximation Of Nested Fixpoints, Alexander Kurz
Approximation Of Nested Fixpoints, Alexander Kurz
Engineering Faculty Articles and Research
The question addressed in this paper is how to correctly approximate infinite data given by systems of simultaneous corecursive definitions. We devise a categorical framework for reasoning about regular datatypes, that is, datatypes closed under products, coproducts and fixpoints. We argue that the right methodology is on one hand coalgebraic (to deal with possible nontermination and infinite data) and on the other hand 2-categorical (to deal with parameters in a disciplined manner). We prove a coalgebraic version of Bekic lemma that allows us to reduce simultaneous fixpoints to a single fix point. Thus a possibly infinite object of interest is …

Presenting Distributive Laws, Marcello M. Bonsangue, Helle H. Hansen, Alexander Kurz, Jurriaan Rot
Presenting Distributive Laws, Marcello M. Bonsangue, Helle H. Hansen, Alexander Kurz, Jurriaan Rot
Engineering Faculty Articles and Research
Distributive laws of a monad T over a functor F are categorical tools for specifying algebra-coalgebra interaction. They proved to be important for solving systems of corecursive equations, for the specification of well-behaved structural operational semantics and, more recently, also for enhancements of the bisimulation proof method. If T is a free monad, then such distributive laws correspond to simple natural transformations. However, when T is not free it can be rather difficult to prove the defining axioms of a distributive law. In this paper we describe how to obtain a distributive law for a monad with an equational presentation …
On Algebras Which Are Inductive Limits Of Banach Spaces, Daniel Alpay, Guy Salomon
On Algebras Which Are Inductive Limits Of Banach Spaces, Daniel Alpay, Guy Salomon
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We introduce algebras which are inductive limits of Banach spaces and carry inequalities which are counterparts of the inequality for the norm in a Banach algebra. We then define an associated Wiener algebra, and prove the corresponding version of the well-known Wiener theorem. Finally, we consider factorization theory in these algebra, and in particular, in the associated Wiener algebra.
Spectral Theory For Gaussian Processes: Reproducing Kernels, Random Functions, Boundaries, And L2-Wavelet Generators With Fractional Scales, Daniel Alpay
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
A recurrent theme in functional analysis is the interplay between the theory of positive definite functions, and their reproducing kernels, on the one hand, and Gaussian stochastic processes, on the other. This central theme is motivated by a host of applications, e.g., in mathematical physics, and in stochastic differential equations, and their use in financial models. In this paper, we show that, for three classes of cases in the correspondence, it is possible to obtain explicit formulas which are amenable to computations of the respective Gaussian stochastic processes. For achieving this, we first develop two functional analytic tools. They are: …
Wiener-Chaos Approach To Optimal Prediction, Daniel Alpay, Alon Kipnis
Wiener-Chaos Approach To Optimal Prediction, Daniel Alpay, Alon Kipnis
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
In this work we combine Wiener chaos expansion approach to study the dynamics of a stochastic system with the classical problem of the prediction of a Gaussian process based on part of its sample path. This is done by considering special bases for the Gaussian space G generated by the process, which allows us to obtain an orthogonal basis for the Fock space of G such that each basis element is either measurable or independent with respect to the given samples. This allows us to easily derive the chaos expansion of a random variable conditioned on part of the sample …
Fundamental Mathematics Of Consciousness, Menas Kafatos
Fundamental Mathematics Of Consciousness, Menas Kafatos
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We explore a mathematical formalism that ties together the observer with the observed in the view that Consciousness is primary, operating through three principles which apply at all levels, the essence of qualia of experience. The formalism is a simplified version of Hilbert space mathematics encountered in quantum mechanics. It does, however, go beyond specific interpretations of quantum mechanics and has strong philosophical foundations in Western philosophy as well as monistic systems of the East. The implications are explored and steps for the full development of this axiomatic mathematical approach to Consciousness are discussed.
An Extension Of Herglotz's Theorem To The Quaternions, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, David P. Kimsey, Irene Sabadini, David P. Kimsey
An Extension Of Herglotz's Theorem To The Quaternions, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, David P. Kimsey, Irene Sabadini, David P. Kimsey
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
A classical theorem of Herglotz states that a function n↦r(n) from Z into Cs×s is positive definite if and only there exists a Cs×s-valued positive measure dμ on [0,2π] such that r(n)=∫2π0eintdμ(t)for n∈Z. We prove a quaternionic analogue of this result when the function is allowed to have a number of negative squares. A key tool in the argument is the theory of slice hyperholomorphic functions, and the representation of such functions which have a positive real part in the unit ball of the quaternions. We study in great detail the case of positive definite functions.
A New Resolvent Equation For The S-Functional Calculus, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, Jonathan Gantner, Irene Sabadini
A New Resolvent Equation For The S-Functional Calculus, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, Jonathan Gantner, Irene Sabadini
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
The S-functional calculus is a functional calculus for (n + 1)-tuples of non necessarily commuting operators that can be considered a higher dimensional version of the classical Riesz-Dunford functional calculus for a single operator. In this last calculus, the resolvent equation plays an important role in the proof of several results. Associated with the S-functional calculus there are two resolvent operators: the left S−1 L (s, T ) and the right one S−1 R (s, T ), where s = (s0, s1, . . . , sn) ∈ Rn+1 and T = (T0, T1, . . . , Tn) is …
Infinite Product Representations For Kernels And Iteration Of Functions, Daniel Alpay, Palle Jorgensen, Izchak Lewkowicz, Itzik Marziano
Infinite Product Representations For Kernels And Iteration Of Functions, Daniel Alpay, Palle Jorgensen, Izchak Lewkowicz, Itzik Marziano
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We study infinite products of reproducing kernels with view to their use in dynamics (of iterated function systems), in harmonic analysis, and in stochastic processes. On the way, we construct a new family of representations of the Cuntz relations. Then, using these representations we associate a fixed filled Julia set with a Hilbert space. This is based on analysis and conformal geometry of a fixed rational mapping R in one complex variable, and its iterations.
Inner Product Spaces And Krein Spaces In The Quaternionic Setting, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, Irene Sabadini
Inner Product Spaces And Krein Spaces In The Quaternionic Setting, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, Irene Sabadini
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
In this paper we provide a study of quaternionic inner product spaces. This includes ortho-complemented subspaces, fundamental decompositions as well as a number of results of topological nature. Our main purpose is to show that a closed uniformly positive subspace in a quaternionic Krein space is ortho-complemented, and this leads to our choice of the results presented in the paper.
Quaternionic Hardy Spaces In The Open Unit Ball And Half Space And Blaschke Products, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, Irene Sabadini
Quaternionic Hardy Spaces In The Open Unit Ball And Half Space And Blaschke Products, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, Irene Sabadini
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
The Hardy spaces H2(B) and H2(H+), where B and H+ denote, respectively, the open unit ball of the quaternions and the half space of quaternions with positive real part, as well as Blaschke products, have been intensively studied in a series of papers where they are used as a tool to prove other results in Schur analysis. This paper gives an overview on the topic, collecting the various results available.

Self-Mappings Of The Quaternionic Unit Ball: Multiplier Properties, Schwarz-Pick Inequality, And Nevanlinna-Pick Interpolation Problem, Daniel Alpay, Vladimir Bolotnikov, Fabrizio Colombo, Irene Sabadini, Fabrizio Colombo
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We study several aspects concerning slice regular functions mapping the quaternionic open unit ball B into itself. We characterize these functions in terms of their Taylor coefficients at the origin and identify them as contractive multipliers of the Hardy space H2(B). In addition, we formulate and solve the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem in the class of such functions presenting necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and for the uniqueness of a solution. Finally, we describe all solutions to the problem in the indeterminate case.

Boundary Interpolation For Slice Hyperholomorphic Schur Functions, Khaled Abu-Ghanem, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, David P. Kimsey, Irene Sabadini
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
A boundary Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem is posed and solved in the quaternionic setting. Given nonnegative real numbers κ1,…,κN, quaternions p1,…,pN all of modulus 1, so that the 2-spheres determined by each point do not intersect and pu≠1 for u=1,…,N, and quaternions s1,…,sN, we wish to find a slice hyperholomorphic Schur function s so that
limr→1r∈(0,1)s(rpu)=suforu=1,…,N,
and
limr→1r∈(0,1)1−s(rpu)su¯¯¯¯¯1−r≤κu,foru=1,…,N.
Our arguments relies on the theory of slice hyperholomorphic functions and reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.
Realizations Of Infinite Products, Ruelle Operators And Wavelet Filters, Daniel Alpay, Palle Jorgensen, Izchak Lewkowicz
Realizations Of Infinite Products, Ruelle Operators And Wavelet Filters, Daniel Alpay, Palle Jorgensen, Izchak Lewkowicz
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
Using the system theory notion of state-space realization of matrix-valued rational functions, we describe the Ruelle operator associated with wavelet filters. The resulting realization of infinite products of rational functions have the following four features: 1) It is defined in an infinite-dimensional complex domain. 2) Starting with a realization of a single rational matrix-function M, we show that a resulting infinite product realization obtained from M takes the form of an (infinitedimensional) Toeplitz operator with the symbol that is a reflection of the initial realization for M. 3) Starting with a subclass of rational matrix functions, including scalar-valued ones corresponding …
Positive Fragments Of Coalgebraic Logics, Adriana Balan, Alexander Kurz, Jirí Velebil
Positive Fragments Of Coalgebraic Logics, Adriana Balan, Alexander Kurz, Jirí Velebil
Engineering Faculty Articles and Research
Positive modal logic was introduced in an influential 1995 paper of Dunn as the positive fragment of standard modal logic. His completeness result consists of an axiomatization that derives all modal formulas that are valid on all Kripke frames and are built only from atomic propositions, conjunction, disjunction, box and diamond. In this paper, we provide a coalgebraic analysis of this theorem, which not only gives a conceptual proof based on duality theory, but also generalizes Dunn's result from Kripke frames to coalgebras for weak-pullback preserving functors. To facilitate this analysis we prove a number of category theoretic results on …
