We study Grothendieck rings (in the sense of logic) of fields. We prove the triviality of the Grothendieck rings of certain fields by constructing definable bijections which imply the triviality. More precisely, we consider valued fields, for example, fields of Laurent series over the real numbers, over p-adic numbers and over finite fields, and construct definable bijections from the line to t...

In this paper we examine nonlinear integrodifferential inclusions defined in a separable Banach space. Using a compactness type hypothesis involving the ball measure of noncompactness, we establish two existence results. One involving convex-valued orientor fields and the other nonconvex valued ones.

We consider variational inequality problems for set-valued vector fields on general Riemannian manifolds. The existence results of the solution, convexity of the solution set, and the convergence property of the proximal point algorithm for the variational inequality problems for set-valued mappings on Riemannian manifolds are established. Applications to convex optimization problems on Riemann...

We consider vector-valued random fields on a general index set in R and show the existence of continuous modifications if some Kolmogorov type condition is satisfied. Furthermore, we prove an extension result for Hölder continuous vector valued mappings. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 60G60, 46E40.

We use generalized Taylor formulae in order to give some simple constructions in the real closure of an ordered valued field. We deduce a new, simple quantifier elimination algorithm for real closed valued fields and some theorems about constructible subsets of real valuative affine space.

On a pseudo-Riemannian manifoldM we introduce a system of partial differential Killing type equations for spinor-valued differential forms, and study their basic properties. We discuss the relationship between solutions of Killing equations onM and parallel fields on the metric cone overM for spinor-valued forms.

where aij ∈ K. Additive polynomials over valued fields in positive characteristic play an important role in understanding many algebraic and model theoretic properties of maximal fields of positive characteristic, see [7] for a thorough examination of the issue. A subset S of a valued field (K, v) has the optimal approximation property if for all a ∈ K, the set {v(s − a) : s ∈ S} has a maximal ...

Hopf solitons in the Skyrme-Faddeev model — S 2-valued fields on R 3 with Skyrme dynamics — are string-like topological solitons. In this Letter, we investigate the analogous lattice objects, for S 2-valued fields on the cubic lattice Z 3 with a nearest-neighbour interaction. For suitable choices of the interaction, topological solitons exist on the lattice. Their appearance is remarkably simil...

A complete classification of generalized symmetries of the Yang-Mills equations on Minkowski space with a semi-simple structure group is carried out. It is shown that any generalized symmetry, up to a generalized gauge symmetry, agrees with a first order symmetry on solutions of the Yang-Mills equations. Let g = g1+ · · ·+gn be the decomposition of the Lie algebra g of the structure group into ...
