Sofia A. Yanovskaya: The Marxist Pioneer of Mathematical Logic in the Soviet Union [PDF]

, 2019
K. Marx’s 200th jubilee coincides with the celebration of the 85 years from the first publication of his “Mathematical Manuscripts” in 1933. Its editor, Sofia Alexandrovna Yanovskaya (1896–1966), was a renowned Soviet mathematician ...

Acts of Time: Cohen and Benjamin on Mathematics and History [PDF]

, 2017
This paper argues that the principle of continuity that underlies Benjamin’s understanding of what makes the reality of a thing thinkable, which in the Kantian context implies a process of “filling time” with an anticipatory structure oriented to the ...

A Burgessian critique of nominalistic tendencies in contemporary mathematics and its historiography [PDF]

, 2012
We analyze the developments in mathematical rigor from the viewpoint of a Burgessian critique of nominalistic reconstructions. We apply such a critique to the reconstruction of infinitesimal analysis accomplished through the efforts of Cantor, Dedekind ...

Cauchy, infinitesimals and ghosts of departed quantifiers [PDF]

, 2017
Procedures relying on infinitesimals in Leibniz, Euler and Cauchy have been interpreted in both a Weierstrassian and Robinson's frameworks. The latter provides closer proxies for the procedures of the classical masters.

The New Quantum Logic [PDF]

, 2014
It is shown how all the major conceptual difficulties of standard (textbook) quantum mechanics, including the two measurement problems and the (supposed) nonlocality that conflicts with special relativity, are resolved in the consistent or decoherent ...

From change to spacetime: an Eleatic journey [PDF]

, 2012
I present a formal ontological theory where the basic building blocks of the world can be either things or events. In any case, the result is a Parmenidean worldview where change is not a global property.

Canonical Maps [PDF]

, 2018
Categorical foundations and set-theoretical foundations are sometimes presented as alternative foundational schemes. So far, the literature has mostly focused on the weaknesses of the categorical foundations.

Ten Misconceptions from the History of Analysis and Their Debunking [PDF]

, 2012
The widespread idea that infinitesimals were "eliminated" by the "great triumvirate" of Cantor, Dedekind, and Weierstrass is refuted by an uninterrupted chain of work on infinitesimal-enriched number systems.

A Consistent Quantum Ontology [PDF]

, 2013
The (consistent or decoherent) histories interpretation provides a consistent realistic ontology for quantum mechanics, based on two main ideas. First, a logic (system of reasoning) is employed which is compatible with the Hilbert-space structure of ...
