Inexistence of Zeeman’s Fine Topology
نویسنده
چکیده
The family of topologies that induce the Euclidean metric space on every time axis and every space axis exhibits no maximal element when partially ordered by the relation “finer than”, as demonstrated in this article. One conclusion and two reflections emerge and are addressed herein: Conclusion: a. Zeeman’s fine topology [1] and Göbel’s extension to arbitrary spacetimes [2] do not exist. Reflections: a. Both authors’ attempts may be classified as type-2 strategies, within the taxonomy of [3]. b. How could these inexistent topologies be used for decades?

The Weak Cartan Property for the p-fine Topology on Metric Spaces
We study the p-fine topology on complete metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure supporting a p-Poincaré inequality, 1 < p < ∞. We establish a weak Cartan property, which yields characterizations of the p-thinness and the p-fine continuity, and allows us to show that the p-fine topology is the coarsest topology making all psuperharmonic functions continuous. Our p-harmonic and superharmo...
متن کاملIntentional Inexistence and Phenomenal Intentionality
How come we can represent Bigfoot even though Bigfoot does not exist, given that representing something involves bearing a relation to it and we cannot bear relations to what does not exist? This is the problem of intentional inexistence. This paper develops a two-step solution to this problem, involving (first) an adverbial account of conscious representation, or phenomenal intentionality, and...
متن کاملBlack-Box Extension Fields and the Inexistence of Field-Homomorphic One-Way Permutations
The black-box field (BBF) extraction problem is, for a given field F, to determine a secret field element hidden in a black-box which allows to add and multiply values in F in the box and which reports only equalities of elements in the box. This problem is of cryptographic interest for two reasons. First, for F = Fp it corresponds to the generic reduction of the discrete logarithm problem to t...
متن کاملSome Notes on Fine Computability
A metric defined by Fine induces a topology on the unit interval which is strictly stronger than the ordinary Euclidean topology and which has some interesting applications in Walsh analysis. We investigate computability properties of a corresponding Fine representation of the real numbers and we construct a structure which characterizes this representation. Moreover, we introduce a general cla...
متن کاملA kind of fuzzy upper topology on L-preordered sets
Considering a commutative unital quantale L as the truth value table and using the tool of L-generalized convergence structures of stratified L-filters, this paper introduces a kind of fuzzy upper topology, called fuzzy S-upper topology, on L-preordered sets. It is shown that every fuzzy join-preserving L-subset is open in this topology. When L is a complete Heyting algebra, for every completel...
