The algebras considered in this paper are commutative rings of which the additive group is a finite-dimensional vector space over the field of rational numbers. We present deterministic polynomial-time algorithms that, given such an…

For every natural number $m$, the existentially closed models of the theory of fields with $m$ commuting derivations can be given a first-order geometric characterization in several ways. In particular, the theory of these differential…

A \emph{morphism} is a mapping that transforms words through letter-wise substitution, where each symbol is consistently replaced by a fixed word. In the field of combinatorics on words, one topic that has attracted considerable attention…

We introduce a new class of automata on infinite trees called \emph{alternating nonzero automata}, which extends the class of non-deterministic nonzero automata. We reduce the emptiness problem for alternating nonzero automata to the same…

An $\omega$-tree-automatic structure is a relational structure whose domain and relations are accepted by Muller or Rabin tree automata. We investigate in this paper the isomorphism problem for $\omega$-tree-automatic structures. We prove…

A commutative ring is reduced when it can be embedded into a direct product of fields. While the category of reduced commutative rings plays a fundamental role in affine geometry, it exhibits several structural deficiencies: it admits…

In this version small mistakes are corrected and the exposition is changed as suggested by the referee (to appear in Canadian Journal of Mathematics). The first main result of the paper is a criterion for a partially commutative group $\GG$…

Reversible weighted automata are introduced and considered in a specific setting where the weights are taken from a nontrivial locally finite commutative ring such as a finite field. It is shown that the supports of series realised by such…

A \emph{composition} is a sequence of positive integers, called \emph{parts}, having a fixed sum. By an \emph{$m$-congruence succession}, we will mean a pair of adjacent parts $x$ and $y$ within a composition such that $x\equiv y(\text{mod}…

An element of a group is called \emph{reversible} if it is conjugate to its inverse. While reversibility in the quaternionic M\"{o}bius group $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{H})$ has traditionally been studied using geometric and dynamical methods,…

This paper is devoted to the classification problem of tree-dimensional anti-commutative(zero-potent) algebras over any base field $\mathbb{F}$ such that $Char(\mathbb{F})\neq 2$ and every element admits a square root.

In this paper, we introduce and investigate \emph{bisemialgebras}and\emph{\ Hopf semialgebras} over commutative semirings. We generalize to the semialgebraic context several results on bialgebras and Hopf algebras over rings including the…

Let Q_0 denote the rational numbers expanded to a "meadow", that is, after taking its zero-totalized form (0^{-1}=0) as the preferred interpretation. In this paper we consider "cancellation meadows", i.e., meadows without proper zero…

An \emph{antilattice} is an algebraic structure based on the same set of axioms as a lattice except that the two commutativity axioms for $\land$ and $\lor$ are replaced by anticommutative counterparts. In this paper we study certain…

Finding the set of leaves for an unbounded tree is a nontrivial process in both the Weihrauch and reverse mathematics settings. Despite this, many combinatorial principles for trees are equivalent to their restrictions to trees with leaf…

We call an operator algebra A {\em reversible} if A with reversed multiplication is also an abstract operator algebra (in the modern operator space sense). This class of operator algebras is intimately related to the {\em symmetric operator…

We address questions of logic and expressibility in the context of random rooted trees. Infiniteness of a rooted tree is not expressible as a first order sentence, but is expressible as an existential monadic second order sentence (EMSO).…

The purpose of this paper is to study the commutative pseudomeadows, the structure which is defined in the same way as commutative meadows, except that the existence of a multiplicative identity is not required. We extend the…

A \emph{numerical semigroup} is a subset $\Lambda$ of the nonnegative integers that is closed under addition, contains $0$, and omits only finitely many nonnegative integers (called the \emph{gaps} of $\Lambda$). The collection of all…
