What does the $wedge$-symbol mean in academic papers?
$begingroup$
For instance, here's definition 16 of the Ethereum Yellow Paper:
Does $wedge$ simply mean a concatenation of statements? Like the logic gate AND?

$wedge$ is exactly 'and' in this context. $vee$ means 'or'. You can notice the similarity both in form and meaning with $cap$ and $cup$ from set theory.
In differential geometry, $omega_1wedgeomega_2$ also means the wedge product of two differential forms.

$wedge$ is (most often) the mathematical symbol for logical conjunction, which is equivalent to the AND operator you're used to.
Similarly $vee$ is (most often) logical disjunction, which would be equivalent to the OR operator.

Yes, this symbol is generally used to denote AND. See the wikipedia article on Logical Conjunction:
$ Aland B$ is true only if $A$ is true and $B$ is true
Similarly, we use $ Alor B$ to mean $A$ OR $B$ (logical disjunction).
