| | In my previous post, I presented a proof of the existence portion of the structure theorem for finitely generated modules over a PID based on the Smith Normal Form of a matrix. In this post, I'd like to explain how the uniqueness portion of that theorem is actually a special case of a more general...

| | The aim of this post is to motivate the idea of representing probability spaces as states on a commutative algebra. We will consider how this abstract construction relates directly to classical probabilities. In the standard axiomatization of probability theory, due to Kolmogorov, the central construct is a probability space $latex {(\Omega,\mathcal F,{\mathbb P})}&fg=000000$. This consists...

| | There are a number of applications of logic to ordinary mathematics, with the most coming from (I believe) model theory. One of the easiest and most striking that I know is called Ax's Theorem. Ax's Theorem: For all polynomial functions $latex f\colon \mathbb{C}^n\to \mathbb{C}^n$, if $latex f$ is injective, then $latex f$ is surjective. Very...
