Properties of Finitely Supported Self - Mappings on the Finite Powerset of Atoms [PDF]
The theory of finitely supported algebraic structures represents a reformulation of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory in which every classical structure is replaced by a finitely supported structure according to the action of a group of permutations of ...

The theory of finitely supported structures is used for dealing with very large sets having a certain degree of symmetry. This framework generalizes the classical set theory of Zermelo-Fraenkel by allowing infinitely many basic elements with no internal ...

Carnap's philosophy of mathematics
Abstract For several decades, Carnap's philosophy of mathematics used to be either dismissed or ignored. It was perceived as a form of linguistic conventionalism and thus taken to rely on the bankrupt notion of truth by convention. However, recent scholarship has revealed a more subtle picture.

Mechanism Design With Limited Commitment
We develop a tool akin to the revelation principle for dynamic mechanism‐selection games in which the designer can only commit to short‐term mechanisms. We identify a canonical class of mechanisms rich enough to replicate the outcomes of any equilibrium in a mechanism‐selection game between an uninformed designer and a privately informed agent.

Towards a constructive simplicial model of Univalent Foundations
Abstract We provide a partial solution to the problem of defining a constructive version of Voevodsky's simplicial model of Univalent Foundations. For this, we prove constructive counterparts of the necessary results of simplicial homotopy theory, building on the constructive version of the Kan‐Quillen model structure established by the second‐named ...

Solutions of Extension and Limits of Some Cantorian Paradoxes
Cantor thought of the principles of set theory or intuitive principles as universal forms that can apply to any actual or possible totality. This is something, however, which need not be accepted if there are totalities which have a fundamental ...

It is well known that Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory (ZF), despite its usefulness as a foundational theory for mathematics, has two unwanted features: it cannot be written down explicitly due to its infinitely many axioms, and it has a countable model due ...

The IoT refers to the linking of items to a network through message‐generating devices; in the connection process, communication and information circulation are carried out through the information dissemination medium to realize intelligent identification, tracking, supervision, and other functions.

Abstract Informally speaking, the categoricity of an axiom system means that its non‐logical symbols have only one possible interpretation that renders the axioms true. Although non‐categoricity has become ubiquitous in the second half of the twentieth century whether one looks at number theory, geometry or analysis, the first axiomatizations of such ...

An Overview of Saharon Shelah's Contributions to Mathematical Logic, in Particular to Model Theory
Abstract I will give a brief overview of Saharon Shelah's work in mathematical logic. I will focus on three transformative contributions Shelah has made: stability theory, proper forcing and PCF theory. The first is in model theory and the other two are in set theory.
