Ontology After Folk Psychology; or, Why Eliminativists Should Be Mental Fictionalists

Analytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 1-11, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Mental fictionalism holds that folk psychology should be regarded as a kind of fiction. The present version gives a Lewisian prefix semantics for mentalistic discourse, where roughly, a mentalistic sentence “p” is true iff “p” is deducible from the folk psychological fiction.

On the complexity of an expanded Tarski's fixed point problem under the componentwise ordering

Theoretical Computer Science, 2018
Let Π be a finite lattice of integer points in a box of R n and f an increasing mapping in terms of the componentwise ordering from Π to itself. The well-known Tarski's fixed point theorem asserts that f has a fixed point in Π.

Model‐Based Semantics: Doing Without Meaning Constitution

Metaphilosophy, Volume 57, Issue 1-2, Page 103-118, January 2026.
Abstract This paper introduces a model‐based account of meaning, arguing that meaning properties reside in models rather than in the external world. Building on this view, it explores how such an instrumentalist framework can engage critically with various concerns raised by Wittgenstein, Quine, and Kripke[nstein]—each of whom voiced scepticism toward ...

A constructive version of Tarski's geometry [PDF]

Annals of Pure and Applied Logic, 2014
Constructivity, in this context, refers to a theory of geometry whose axioms and language are closely related to ruler and compass constructions. It may also refer to the use of intuitionistic (or constructive) logic, but the reader who is interested in ...

Simple groups with strong fixed‐point properties

Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We exhibit finitely generated torsion‐free groups for which any action on any finite‐dimensional CW‐complex with finite Betti numbers has a global fixed point.

Fuzzy Results for Finitely Supported Structures

Mathematics, 2021
We present a survey of some results published recently by the authors regarding the fuzzy aspects of finitely supported structures. Considering the notion of finite support, we introduce a new degree of membership association between a crisp set and a ...

Plank theorems and their applications: A survey

Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Plank problems concern the covering of convex bodies by planks in Euclidean space and are related to famous open problems in convex geometry. In this survey, we introduce plank problems and present surprising applications of plank theorems in various areas of mathematics.
