Every partition of [[omega_1]^{< omega}]^2 into finitely many pieces has a cofinal homogeneous set. Furthermore, it is consistent that every directed partially ordered set satisfies the partition property if and only if it has finite…

A relevant thesis is that for the family of complete first order theories with NIP (i.e. without the independence property) there is a substantial theory, like the family of stable (and the family of simple) first order theories. We examine…

We introduce the $\omega$-Vaught's conjecture, a strengthening of the infinitary Vaught's conjecture. We believe that if one were to prove the infinitary Vaught's conjecture in a structural way without using techniques from higher recursion…

We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative…

These expanded lecture notes are based on a tutorial on categorical proof theory presented at the summer school associated with the conference "Topology, Algebra, and Categories in Logic 2021-2022." The chapter delves into various…

$\omega$-clones are multi-sorted structures that naturally emerge as algebras for infinite trees, just as $\omega$-semigroups are convenient algebras for infinite words. In the algebraic theory of languages, one hopes that a language is…

We investigate a notion called uniqueness in power kappa that is akin to categoricity in power kappa, but is based on the cardinality of the generating sets of models instead of on the cardinality of their universes. The notion is quite…

A relational structure is a core, if all its endomorphisms are embeddings. This notion is important for computational complexity classification of constraint satisfaction problems. It is a fundamental fact that every finite structure has a…

We prove that many seemingly simple theories have Borel complete reducts. Specifically, if a countable theory has uncountably many complete 1-types, then it has a Borel complete reduct. Similarly, if $Th(M)$ is not small, then $M^{eq}$ has…

Let $T$ be a countable complete first-order theory with a definable, infinite, discrete linear order. We prove that $T$ has continuum-many countable models. The proof is purely first-order, but raises the question of Borel completeness of…

We demonstrate how a generic automated theorem prover can be applied to establish the non-orderability of groups. Our approach incorporates various tools such as positive cones, torsions, generalised torsions and cofinal elements.

We prove that in every ring of generalised power series with non-positive real exponents and coefficients in a field of characteristic zero, every series admits a factorisation into finitely many irreducibles of infinite support, the number…

We study possibilities for almost $n$-ary and $n$-aritizable theories. Their dynamics both in general case, for $\omega$-categorical theories, and with respect to operations for theories are described.

We conjecture that every infinite group $G$ can be partitioned into countably many cells $G=\bigcup_{n\in\omega}A_n$ such that $cov(A_nA_n^{-1})=|G|$ for each $n\in\omega$. Here $cov(A)=\min\{|X|:X\subseteq G, G=XA\}$. We confirm this…

We show that many important varieties and sets of varieties of semigroups may be defined by relatively simple and transparent first-order formulas in the lattice of all semigroup varieties.

Let $\Gamma$ be a centerless irreducible higher rank arithmetic lattice in characteristic zero. We prove that if $\Gamma$ is either non-uniform or is uniform of orthogonal type and dimension at least 9, then $\Gamma$ is bi-interpretable…

We present a method for constructing countable models of small theories and apply it to prove theorems on the maximal number of countable non-isomorphic models of linearly ordered theories.

Models of dependent type theories are contextual categories with some additional structure. We prove that if a theory $T$ has enough structure, then the category $T\text{-}\mathbf{Mod}$ of its models carries the structure of a model…

For every countable group $G$, there are $2^{\omega}$ distinct classes of coarsely equivalent subsets of $G$.

In this note we characterize, within the framework of the theory of finite set, those categories of graphs that are {\em algebraic universal} in the sense that every concrete category embeds in them. The proof of the characterization is…
