We generalise the notion of separable equivalence, originally presented by Linckelmann (2011), to an equivalence relation on additive categories. We use this generalisation to show that from an initial equivalence between two algebras we…

We study stratification, that is the classification of localizing tensor ideal subcategories by geometric means, in the context of Kasparov's equivariant KK-theory of C*-algebras. We introduce a straightforward countable analog of the…

The dual character of invariance under transformations and definability by some operations has been used in classical work by for example Galois and Klein. Following Tarski, philosophers of logic have claimed that logical notions themselves…

The project of Greenlees et al. on understanding rational G-spectra in terms of algebraic categories has had many successes, classifying rational G-spectra for finite groups, SO(2), O(2), SO(3), free and cofree G-spectra as well as rational…

Categorification is the process of finding category-theoretic analogs of set-theoretic concepts by replacing sets with categories, functions with functors, and equations between functions by natural isomorphisms between functors, which in…

In Finite Group Modular Representation Theory, the basic objects are the indecomposable and simple modules. This paper offers a new classification of these objects that refines the Green Theory Classification of indecomposable and simple…

The consistency problem for a class of algebraic structures asks for an algorithm to decide for any given conjunction of equations whether it admits a non-trivial satisfying assignment within some member of the class. By Adyan (1955) and…

The concept of ``countable set'' is attributed to Georg Cantor, who set the boundary between countable and uncountable sets in 1874. The concept of ``computable set'' arose in the study of computing models in the 1930s by the founders of…

This is the first in a sequence of papers that will develop the theory of automorphisms of nonsolvable finite groups. The sequence will culminate in a new proof of McBride's Nonsolvable Signalizer Functor Theorem, which is one of the…

In this paper, we study length categories using iterated extensions. We consider the problem of classifying all indecomposable objects in a length category, and the problem of characterizing those length categories that are uniserial. We…

Classifications organize entities into categories that identify similarities within a category and discern dissimilarities among categories, and they powerfully classify information in support of analysis. We propose a new classification…

The Countable Telescope Conjecture arose in the framework of stable homotopy theory, as a tool conceived to study the chromatic filtration. It turned out, however, to trigger extremely fertile research within the framework of Module…

Twenty years have passed since Kechris' seminal survey paper [A. S. Kechris, New directions in descriptive set theory. Bull. Symbolic Logic, 5(2):161-174, 1999]. As a follow-up of that work, we review some ot the (anti-)classification…

We give a self-contained introduction to accessible categories and how they shed light on both model- and set-theoretic questions. We survey for example recent developments on the study of presentability ranks, a notion of cardinality…

We elucidate a close connection between the Theory of Judgment Aggregation (more generally, Evaluation Aggregation), and a relatively young but rapidly growing field of universal algebra, that was primarily developed to investigate…

The classifying topos of a geometric theory is a topos such that geometric morphisms into it correspond to models of that theory. We study classifying toposes for different infinitary logics: first-order, sub-first-order (i.e. geometric…

If T is an ergodic automorphism of a Lebesgue probability space (X,A,m), the set of coboundries B = db =T(b)+b with symmetric difference + form a subgroup of the set of cocycles A. Using tools from descriptive set theory, Greg Hjorth showed…

We study the complexity of the classification problem for countable models of set theory (ZFC). We prove that the classification of arbitrary countable models of ZFC is Borel complete, meaning that it is as complex as it can conceivably be.…
