Disjoint Genus-0 Surfaces in Extremal Graph Theory and Set Theory Lead To a Novel Topological Theorem

When an edge is removed, a cycle graph Cn becomes a n-1 tree graph. This observation from extremal set theory leads us to the realm of set theory, in which a topological manifold of genus-1 turns out to be of genus-0. Starting from these premises, we prove a theorem suggesting that a manifold with disjoint points must be of genus-0, while a manifold of genus-1 cannot encompass disjoint points.

Formulation Of Quantum Mechanics On Poincaré Disks

The unexploited unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics (QM) prevents the proper understanding of the micro- and macroscopic world. Here we put forward a mathematical approach that introduces the problem in terms of negative curvature manifolds. We suggest that the oscillatory dynamics described by wave functions might take place on hyperbolic continuous manifolds, standing for the counterpart of QM’s Hilbert spaces. We describe how the tenets of QM, such as the observable A, the autostates ψa and the Schrodinger equation for the temporal evolution of states, might work very well on a Poincaré disk equipped with rotational groups. This curvature-based approach to QM, combined with the noncommutativity formulated in the language of gyrovectors, leads to a mathematical framework that might be useful in the investigation of relativity/QM relationships. Furthermore, we introduce a topological theorem, termed the punctured balloon theorem (PBT), which states that an orientable genus-1 surface cannot encompass disjoint points. PBT suggests that hyperbolic QM manifolds must be of genus ≥ 1 before measuring and genus zero after measuring. We discuss the implications of PBT in gauge theories and in the physics of the black holes.

Spatiality of countably presentable locales (proved with the Baire category theorem)

The first part of the paper presents a generalization of the well-known Baire category theorem. The generalization consists in replacing the dense open sets of the original formulation by dense UCO sets, where UCO means union of closed and open. This topological theorem is exactly what is needed to prove in the second part of the paper the locale-theoretic result that locales whose frame of opens has a countable presentation (countably many generators and countably many relations) are spatial. This spatiality theorem does not require choice.

Dichotomy and infinite combinatorics: the theorems of Steinhaus and Ostrowski

We define combinatorial principles which unify and extend the classical results of Steinhaus and Piccard on the existence of interior points in the distance set. Thus the measure and category versions are derived from one topological theorem on interior points applied to the usual topology and the density topology on the line. Likewise we unify the subgroup theorem by reference to a Ramsey property. A combinatorial form of Ostrowski's theorem (that a bounded additive function is linear) permits the deduction of both the measure and category automatic continuity theorems for additive functions.

AN INTEGRAL FORMULA AND ITS APPLICATION TO NORMAL EULER NUMBER

We establish a general integral formula over sphere, and then apply it to give a geometrical proof of the celebrated topological theorem of Lashof and Smale, which asserts that the tangential degree of the tangent sphere bundle coincides with the normal Euler number for an immersion Mn → E2n of an oriented closed manifold into Euclidean space of twice dimension.
