A quasitopos containing CONV and MET as full subcategories

E. Lowen, R. Lowen • International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences (1988)

We show that convergence spaces with continuous maps and metric spaces with contractions, can be viewed as entities of the same kind. Both can be characterized by a “limit function” λ which with each filter ℱ associates a map λℱ from the un...

Investigating late-time cosmology using Finsler-Randers geometry and Barthel connection: Observational constraints and implications

J. Praveen, S.K. Narasimhamurthy • Nuclear Physics B (2025)

In this study we explore cosmological anisotropies and dark energy using Finsler-Randers geometry, an extension of Riemannian geometry that incorporates directional dependence in the spacetime structure. We investigate whether Finslerian mo...

Mathematics and Indispensability

Elliott R. Sober • The Philosophical Review (1993)

Mathematics plays an indispensable role in the explanations that modern science provides of empirical phenomena. From this unexceptionable observation, a controversial philosophical conclusion is sometimes drawn. The claim is advanced that ...
