Half-liberated manifolds, and their quantum isometries [PDF]
Glasg. Math. J. 59 (2017), 463-492, 2015 We discuss the half-liberation operation $X\to X^*$, for the algebraic submanifolds of the unit sphere, $X\subset S^{N-1}_\mathbb C$. There are several ways of constructing this correspondence, and we take them into account. Our main results concern the computation of the affine quantum isometry group $G^+(X^*)$, for the sphere itself.

Ler História, 2008 The history of the words liberal and liberalism and the usages that were made in the Portuguese context share, as expected, many of the lines that are detectable in other scenarios.

On the examples of Egyptian fractions in Liber Abaci [PDF]
arXivThe focus of this note is to formulate the algorithms and give the examples used by Fibonacci in Liber Abaci to expand any fraction into a sum of unit fractions. The description in Liber Abaci is all verbal and the examples are numbers which may lead to different algorithmic descriptions with the same input and results.
