Ken Kunen: Algebraist
This paper is a greatly expanded version of a talk I gave in April 2009 at
KunenFest. It describes Ken's work in algebra, particularly using automated
deduction tools.Comment: 7 pages, to appear in a special issue of Topology and its
Applications in honor of Ken Kune
Computable Model Theory on Loops
We give an introduction to the problem of computable algebras. Specifically, the algebras of loops and groups. We start by defining a loop and group, then give some of their properties. We then give an overview of comptability theory, and apply it to loops and groups. We conclude by showing that a finitely presented residually finite algebra has a solvable word problem
Multicoloured Random Graphs: Constructions and Symmetry
This is a research monograph on constructions of and group actions on
countable homogeneous graphs, concentrating particularly on the simple random
graph and its edge-coloured variants. We study various aspects of the graphs,
but the emphasis is on understanding those groups that are supported by these
graphs together with links with other structures such as lattices, topologies
and filters, rings and algebras, metric spaces, sets and models, Moufang loops
and monoids. The large amount of background material included serves as an
introduction to the theories that are used to produce the new results. The
large number of references should help in making this a resource for anyone
interested in beginning research in this or allied fields.Comment: Index added in v2. This is the first of 3 documents; the other 2 will
appear in physic
International Journal of Mathematical Combinatorics, Vol.2
The International J.Mathematical Combinatorics (ISSN 1937-1055) is a fully refereed international journal, sponsored by the MADIS of Chinese Academy of Sciences and published in USA quarterly comprising 460 pages approx. per volume, which publishes original research papers and survey articles in all aspects of Smarandache multi-spaces, Smarandache geometries, mathematical combinatorics, non-euclidean geometry and topology and their applications to other sciences
The Fifteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting
The three volumes of the proceedings of MG15 give a broad view of all aspects of gravitational physics and astrophysics, from mathematical issues to recent observations and experiments. The scientific program of the meeting included 40 morning plenary talks over 6 days, 5 evening popular talks and nearly 100 parallel sessions on 71 topics spread over 4 afternoons. These proceedings are a representative sample of the very many oral and poster presentations made at the meeting.Part A contains plenary and review articles and the contributions from some parallel sessions, while Parts B and C consist of those from the remaining parallel sessions. The contents range from the mathematical foundations of classical and quantum gravitational theories including recent developments in string theory, to precision tests of general relativity including progress towards the detection of gravitational waves, and from supernova cosmology to relativistic astrophysics, including topics such as gamma ray bursts, black hole physics both in our galaxy and in active galactic nuclei in other galaxies, and neutron star, pulsar and white dwarf astrophysics. Parallel sessions touch on dark matter, neutrinos, X-ray sources, astrophysical black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, binary systems, radiative transfer, accretion disks, quasars, gamma ray bursts, supernovas, alternative gravitational theories, perturbations of collapsed objects, analog models, black hole thermodynamics, numerical relativity, gravitational lensing, large scale structure, observational cosmology, early universe models and cosmic microwave background anisotropies, inhomogeneous cosmology, inflation, global structure, singularities, chaos, Einstein-Maxwell systems, wormholes, exact solutions of Einstein's equations, gravitational waves, gravitational wave detectors and data analysis, precision gravitational measurements, quantum gravity and loop quantum gravity, quantum cosmology, strings and branes, self-gravitating systems, gamma ray astronomy, cosmic rays and the history of general relativity
