This paper develops a dynamic equilibrium model where agents exhibit a strong form of belief heterogeneity: they disagree about zero probability events. It is shown that, somewhat surprisingly, equilibrium exists in this setting, and that the disagreement about nullsets naturally leads to equilibrium asset pricing bubb…

The Gordian distance between two knots measures how many crossing changes are needed to transform one knot into the other. It is known that there are always infinitely many non-equivalent knots `between' a pair of knots of Gordian distance two. In this paper we prove an extreme generalisation of this fact: there are kn…

We solve the problem completely by identifying t…

We consider formal deformations of the Poisson algebra of functions (with singularities) on TMT^*M which are Laurent polynomials of fibers. Tn the case: dimM=1\dim M=1 (M=S1,RM=S^1, {\bf R}), there exists a non-trivial \star-product on this algebra non-equivalent to the standard Moyal product.
