In the generality of a rigidly-compactly generated tensor triangulated category, we introduce semi-Bousfield classes in terms of the vanishing of the tensor product in positive degrees with respect to a fixed reasonable $t$-structure. We…

In this paper, we answer negatively to a question posed in the context of the 2025 Oberwolfach Mini-Workshop ``The Yang-Baxter Equation and Representations of Braid Groups'' regarding the existence of split extensions classifiers in the…

We prove undecidability for every positive relevant logic extending the system axiomatized by hypothetical syllogism, prefixing, and suffixing and contained in the logic of the semilattice frame $(P_{\mathrm{fin}}(\mathbb{N}), \cup,…

Let $(R,\frak m)$ be a generalized Cohen-Macaulay local ring of prime characteristic $p$. In this paper we give a sharp bound for the Frobenius test exponent of parameter ideals. Namely, we prove that $$\mathrm{Fte}(R) \le \lceil…

This paper introduces a Laws of Form version of the Quaternions. We call this the Q-Calculus, a 16-valued extension of Laws of Form (LoF) which is closely related to the BF Calculus (where we have a single square root of the mark) and the…

Let $R$ be a local or positively graded ring with a regular presentation $R \cong Q/I$ where $I$ is a monomial ideal generated by $n$ elements on a regular sequence. In Briggs-Grifo-Pollitz (2025), the authors classify the cohomological…

We report on a collection of open problems in commutative algebra and related areas that have been resolved (proved or disproved) using the Rethlas natural-language automated reasoning system. The problems are drawn from several published…

We introduce and study the Bourbaki degree as a numerical invariant for \(2 \times 4\) matrices $\Theta$ of homogeneous polynomials over a polynomial ring \(R = k[x_1, \dots, x_n]\). This invariant, defined via a Bourbaki sequence for the…

We prove some results about the theory of independence in $\mathrm{NSOP}_{3}$ theories that do not hold in $\mathrm{NSOP}_{4}$ theories. We generalize Chernikov's work on simple and co-simple types in $\mathrm{NTP}_{2}$ theories to types…

This article is a generalization of a result in Quillen's note ``Module theory over non-unital rings'' giving a one-to-one correspondence between bilocalization of abelian categories of modules and idempotent ideals of the base ring.…

In chapter 9 of his book "The Axiom of Determinacy, Forcing Axioms, and the Nonstationary Ideal", Woodin shows how to force the Strong Chang Conjecture over models of determinacy using $\mathbb{P}_{\mathrm{max}}$. We show here how a…

In Grayson's combinatorial description of higher K-groups, the generators are bounded acyclic binary multi-complexes of arbitrary size. Generalising work by Kasprowski, Winges and the author, we show in this paper that multi-complexes of…

In a previous paper we introduced a version of associativity for a partial infinitary operation. We prove here that if $\gamma$ is an infinite ordinal and some associative infinitary operation is defined for all sequences indexed by…

We investigate B\"uchi Arithmetic $\mathsf{BA}_k$ -- the elementary theory of the natural numbers equipped with addition and the function mapping a number $x$ to the greatest power of $k$ dividing $x$. $\mathsf{BA}_k$ is known to be…

We analyze a construction of Cherlin, van den Dries, and Macintyre to code graphs in PAC fields. We show that, in many cases, model-theoretic properties of the graph are preserved in the passage from the graph to the field. As a corollary,…

K. S. S. Nambooripad introduced an interesting class of categories known as normal categories, which are categories with subobjects, morphisms admitting factorization and having sufficiently many cones. These normal categories plays…

We give a complete classification of the Jordan types occurring in the nilpotent commutator of a nilpotent matrix whose Jordan type is a hook partition. As a consequence, we also show that two partitions with the same generic commuting…

For a graded ideal I in a graded ring, the deviation of I is defined as the difference between the minimal number of generators of I and its grade. In this article, we provide bigraded free resolutions of the symmetric algebras for specific…

We study a symmetry problem for the $h$-polynomials of edge rings of bipartite graphs. Let $G$ be a bipartite graph and write $h(\mathbb{k}[G];t)=h_0+h_1t+\cdots+h_st^s$. We prove that if $\Bbbk[G]$ is pseudo-Gorenstein and $h_1=h_{s-1}$,…

We establish the equivalence between models of enhanced $2$-sketches and algebras over monads, including the (co)lax morphisms. More precisely, for any enhanced limit $2$-sketch $\mathbb{T}$ with tight cones, the enhanced $2$-category…
