Paul Shafer:Reverse mathematics of Caristi's fixed point theorem and Ekeland's variational principle

The lecture was held within the framework of the Hausdorff Trimester Program: Types, Sets and Constructions. Abstract: Caristi's fixed point theorem is a fixed point theorem for functions that are controlled by continuous functions but are necessarily continuous themselves. Let a 'Caristi

Mark Sapir - The Tarski numbers of groups.

Mark Sapir (Vanderbilt University, USA) The Tarski number of a non-amenable group is the minimal number of pieces in a paradoxical decomposition of the group. It is known that a group has Tarski number 4 if and only if it contains a free non-cyclic subgroup, and the Tarski numbers of tors

Silvia Steila: An overview over least fixed points in weak set theories

Given a monotone function on a complete lattice the least fixed point is defined as the minimum among the fixed points. Tarski Knaster Theorem states that every monotone function on a complete lattice has a least fixed point. There are two standard proofs of Tarski Knaster Theorem. The f

This Math Theorem Proves that 1=1+1 | The Banach-Tarskis Paradox

Mathematicians are in nearly universal agreement that the strangest paradox in math is the Banach-Tarski paradox, in which you can split one ball into a finite number of pieces, then rearrange the pieces to get two balls of the same size. Interestingly, only a minority of mathematicians ha

The Lawvere fixed point theorem

In this video we prove a version of Lawveres fixed point theorem that holds in Cartesian closed categories. It's a nice construction that specializes to results such as Cantors diagonal argument and prove the the power set of a set is classically always larger than the set itself. https:/

Fixed and Periodic Points | Nathan Dalaklis

Fixed Points and Periodic points are two mathematical objects that come up all over the place in Dynamical systems, Differential equations, and surprisingly in Topology as well. In these videos, I introduce the concepts of fixed points and periodic points and gradually build to a proof of

The Banach Tarski paradox - is it nonsense? | Sociology and Pure Mathematics | N J Wildberger

One of the famous "paradoxes" of 20th century pure mathematics is the assertion that it is possible to subdivide a solid ball of radius 1 in three dimensional space into 5 disjoint pieces, take those five pieces and subject them to rigid motions, that is rotations and translations, to obta

Robert Ghrist (8/29/21): Laplacians and Network Sheaves

This talk will begin with a simple introduction to cellular sheaves as a generalized notion of a network of algebraic objects. With a little bit of geometry, one can often define a Laplacian for such sheaves. The resulting Hodge theory relates the geometry of the Laplacian to the algebraic

Joel David Hamkins : The hierarchy of second-order set theories between GBC and KM and beyond

Abstract: Recent work has clarified how various natural second-order set-theoretic principles, such as those concerned with class forcing or with proper class games, fit into a new robust hierarchy of second-order set theories between Gödel-Bernays GBC set theory and Kelley-Morse KM set th

Infinity shapeshifter vs. Banach-Tarski paradox

Take on solid ball, cut it into a couple of pieces and rearrange those pieces back together into two solid balls of exactly the same size as the original ball. Impossible? Not in mathematics! Recently Vsauce did a brilliant video on this so-called Banach-Tarski paradox: https://youtu.be/s

What is the max and min of a horizontal line on a closed interval

👉 Learn how to find the extreme values of a function using the extreme value theorem. The extreme values of a function are the points/intervals where the graph is decreasing, increasing, or has an inflection point. A theorem which guarantees the existence of the maximum and minimum points
