The Necessary Uniformity of Physical Probability

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT According to contemporary consensus, physical probabilities may be “non‐uniform”: they need not correspond to a uniform measure over the space of physically possible worlds. Against consensus, I argue that only uniform probabilities connect robustly to long‐run frequencies.

A simple recurrence formula for the number of rooted maps on surfaces by edges and genus [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2014
We establish a simple recurrence formula for the number $Q_g^n$ of rooted orientable maps counted by edges and genus. The formula is a consequence of the KP equation for the generating function of bipartite maps, coupled with a Tutte equation, and it was

Unimodality Problems in Ehrhart Theory

open access: yes, 2017
Ehrhart theory is the study of sequences recording the number of integer points in non-negative integral dilates of rational polytopes. For a given lattice polytope, this sequence is encoded in a finite vector called the Ehrhart $h^*$-vector. Ehrhart $h^*

The implications of generative artificial intelligence for mathematics education

open access: yesSchool Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
Abstract Generative artificial intelligence has become prevalent in discussions of educational technology, particularly in the context of mathematics education. These AI models can engage in human‐like conversation and generate answers to complex questions in real‐time, with education reports accentuating their potential to make teachers' work more ...

Combinatorics of Positroids [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2009
Recently Postnikov gave a combinatorial description of the cells in a totally-nonnegative Grassmannian. These cells correspond to a special class of matroids called positroids.

Combinatorics in the Art of the Twentieth Century [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper is motivated by a question I asked myself: How can combinatorial structures be used in a work of art? Immediately, other questions arose: Whether there are artists that work or think combinatorially?

Teaching of probability theory and combinatorics at secondary schools

open access: yesLietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2004
The topics of probability theory and combinatorics were brought into curricula of Lithuanian secondary schools ten years ago. The problems of teaching and actual situation of apprehension of concepts of prob­ability theory and combinatorics are analyzed.

Statistics of Feynman amplitudes in ϕ 4-theory

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
The amplitude of subdivergence-free logarithmically divergent Feynman graphs in ϕ 4-theory in 4 spacetime dimensions is given by a single number, the Feynman period. We numerically compute the periods of 1.3 million completed graphs, this represents more

Puzzling the 120-cell

open access: yes, 2015
We introduce Quintessence: a family of burr puzzles based on the geometry and combinatorics of the 120-cell. We discuss the regular polytopes, their symmetries, the dodecahedron as an important special case, the three-sphere, and the quaternions. We then
