A criterion is given for a type in a finite rank stable theory to be (almost) internal to a given nonmodular minimal type. The motivation comes from results of Campana which give criteria for compact complex analytic spaces to be algebraic…

We introduce the class of unshreddable theories, which contains the simple and NIP theories, and prove that such theories have exactly saturated models in singular cardinals, satisfying certain set-theoretic hypotheses. We also give…

We give an example of a finite rank, in fact aleph-1 categorical theory where the CBP (canonical base property) does not hold. We include a "group-like" example. We also prove, in a finite Morley rank context, if all definable Galois groups…

We use an interpretation of projective planes to show the inherent nondualisability of some finite semigroups. The method is sufficiently flexible to demonstrate the nondualisability of (asymptotically) almost all finite semigroups as well…

In this paper we show that there exists an uncountable family of finitely generated simple groups with the same positive theory as any non-abelian free group. In particular, these simple groups have infinite $w$-verbal width for all…

We give a uniform construction of free pseudospaces of dimension n extending work by Baudisch and Pillay. This yields examples of $\omega$-stable theories which are n-ample, but not (n+1)-ample. The prime models of these theories are…

We argue that the finiteness of quantum gravity amplitudes in fully compactified theories (at least in supersymmetric cases) leads to a bottom-up prediction for the existence of non-trivial dualities. In particular, finiteness requires the…

This paper reports, by way of introduction, on the advances made by our group and the broader signal processing community on the concept of sample abundance; a phenomenon that naturally arises in one-bit and few-bit signal processing…

We prove that in a countable theory $T$ fully stable over a predicate $P$, any $\lam$-complete set $A$ has the $\lam$-existence property. This means that $A$ can be extended to a $\lam$-saturated model of $T$ without changing the $P$-part.…

We extend the notions of "$R_\infty$-property" and "full (extended) Reidemeister spectrum" to finite groups in a meaningful way. We provide examples of finite groups admitting these properties, if they exist, by looking at groups of small…

We give a new approach to the failure of the Canonical Base Property (CBP) in the so far only known counterexample, produced by Hrushovski, Palacin and Pillay. For this purpose, we will give an alternative presentation of the counterexample…

We study projective manifolds with nonamenable and non-residually finite fundamental groups. We generalize the uniformization theorem of our earlier note. We generalize a classical theorem of Maltsev about finitely generated subgroups of…

We show that vanishing of asymptotic p-th syzygies implies p-very ampleness for line bundles on arbitrary projective schemes. For smooth surfaces we prove that the converse holds when p is small, by studying the Bridgeland-King-Reid-Haiman…

In this paper we prove a generalization of a theorem of Schneider, which gives a criterion for a projective surface over the complex numbers to have an ample cotangent bundle. After reviewing different notions of positivity, we introduce a…

The critique against using Boltzmann's microcanonical entropy, an "ensemble measure", as foundation of statistics is rebuffed. The confusion of the microcanonical distribution with the exponential Boltzmann-Gibbs (``BG'') distribution is…

We show that every Abelian group satisfying a mild cardinal inequality admits a pseudocompact group topology from which all countable subgroups inherit the maximal totally bounded topology (we say that such a topology satisfies property…

We present a new notion of non-positively curved groups: the collection of discrete countable groups acting (AU-)acylindrically on finite products of $\delta$-hyperbolic spaces with general type factors. Inspired by the classical theory of…

We introduce a generalization of CM-triviality relative to a fixed invariant collection of partial types, in analogy to the Canonical Base Property defined by Pillay, Ziegler and Chatzidakis which generalizes one-basedness. We show that,…

First, we define some concepts similar to the local compactoidity or the c-compactness, and study relationships between these concepts and the original ones. As a result, we find a characterization of the local compactoidity when its…

A group is small if it has countably many complete $n$-types over the empty set for each natural number n. More generally, a group $G$ is weakly small if it has countably many complete 1-types over every finite subset of G. We show here…
