More On the Clar Number of Benzenoid GraphsSep 13 2017A Clar set of a benzenoid graph $B$ is a maximum set of independent alternating hexagons over all perfect matchings of $B$. The Clar number of $B$, denoted by ${\rm Cl}(B)$, is the number of hexagons in a Clar set for $B$. In this paper, we first prove ... More Convexity and the "Pythagorean" metric of space(-time)Jun 06 2016We address the question about the reasons why the "Wick-rotated", positive-definite, space-time metric obeys the Pythagorean theorem. An answer is proposed based on the convexity and smoothness properties of the functional spaces providing the kinematic ... More Entropies from coarse-graining: convex polytopes vs. ellipsoidsJul 16 2015We examine the Boltzmann/Gibbs/Shannon $\mathcal{S}_{BGS}$ and the non-additive Havrda-Charv\'{a}t / Dar\'{o}czy/Cressie-Read/Tsallis \ $\mathcal{S}_q$ \ and the Kaniadakis $\kappa$-entropy \ $\mathcal{S}_\kappa$ \ from the viewpoint of coarse-graining, ... More Extensive limit of a non-extensive entanglement entropyMar 21 2014An important calculation has been that of the (von Neumann) entanglement entropy of the ground state of 1-dimensional lattice models at criticality and of their massive perturbations. This entropy turned out to be, generally, non-extensive. It was noticed, ... More Asymptotic cones and quantum gravitySep 23 2013Asymptotic cones are structures that encode how a metric space appears when seen from far away. We discuss their meaning and potential significance for quantum gravity. The geodesic rule and the spectrum of the vacuumJun 30 2006We analyze the consequences of a recent argument justifying the validity of the "geodesic rule" which can be used to determine the density of global topological defects.

We infer that the Tsallis entropy composition ... More A stochastic derivation of the geodesic ruleFeb 09 2006We argue that the geodesic rule, for global defects, is a consequence of the randomness of the values of the Goldstone field $\phi$ in each causally connected volume. As these volumes collide and coalescence, $\phi$ evolves by performing a random walk ... More Algebra and calculus for Tsallis thermostatisticsJul 03 2005We construct generalized additions and multiplications, forming fields, and division algebras inspired by the Tsallis thermo-statistics.

Nitsure showed that for a coherent sheaf F on a noetherian scheme the automorphism functor Aut_F is representable if and only if F is locally free. Here we remove the noetherian hypothesis and show that the same result holds for the endomorphism ...

We also prove a stabilization result: after adding a fifth trivial sheet two local moves suffice. ...
