A Mathematician Reads the Kalam Cosmological Argument
Timothy Y. Chow
Some Christian apologists, notably William Lane Craig, have championed something called the kalam cosmological argument for the existence of God. One version of the argument leans…
Algorithmically distinguishing irreducible characters of the symmetric group
Timothy Y. Chow, Jennifer Paulhus
Suppose that and are distinct irreducible characters of the symmetric group . We give an algorithm that, in time polynomial in , constructs such that…
The Consistency of Arithmetic
Timothy Y. Chow
In 2010, Vladimir Voevodsky gave a lecture on "What If Current Foundations of Mathematics Are Inconsistent?" Among other things he said that he was seriously suspicious that an inc…
Unit Interval Orders and the Dot Action on the Cohomology of Regular Semisimple Hessenberg Varieties
Patrick Brosnan, Timothy Y. Chow
Motivated by a 1993 conjecture of Stanley and Stembridge, Shareshian and Wachs conjectured that the characteristic map takes the dot action of the symmetric group on the cohomology…
The power of multifolds: Folding the algebraic closure of the rational numbers
Timothy Y. Chow, C. Kenneth Fan
It is well known that the usual Huzita-Hatori axioms for origami enable angle trisection but not angle quintisection. Using the concept of a multifold, Lang has achieved quintisect…
Almost-natural proofs
Timothy Y. Chow
Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called "natural proofs" are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandom number generators do not exist. This famous result i…
