various authors have considered the zero-rest-mass equation and the contour integral representation of its solutions. ferber generalized these equations to supertwistor spaces with 2n odd components so that with n=o we get the standard ungraded twistors of penrose. in this paper we use the batchelor theorem toconstruct the natural super twistor space with coarse topology with underlying standar...

This paper is part expository and part presentation of calculational results. The target space of the Kontsevich integral for knots is a space of diagrams; this space has various algebraic structures which are described here. These are utilized with Le’s theorem on the behaviour of the Kontsevich integral under cabling and with the Melvin-Morton Theorem, to obtain, in the Kontsevich integral fo...

We give an existence theorem for some functional-integral equations which includes many key integral and functional equations that arise in nonlinear analysis and its applications. In particular, we extend the class of characteristic functions appearing in Chandrasekhar’s classical integral equation from astrophysics and retain existence of its solutions. Extensive use is made of measures of no...

We prove that the existence of the integral closure of a countable commutative ring R in a countable commutative ring S is equivalent to Arithmetical Comprehension (over RCA0). We also show that i) the Lying Over ii) the Going Up theorem for integral extensions of countable commutative rings and iii) the Going Down theorem for integral extensions of countable domains R ⊂ S, with R normal, are p...
