We know that for a finite field $F$, every function on $F$ can be given by a polynomial with coefficients in $F$. What about the converse? i.e. if $R$ is a ring (not necessarily commutative or with unity) such that every function on $R$ can…

Let $\mathbb K=(K,+,\cdot,v,\Gamma)$ be a valued algebraically closed field of characteristic and $(G,\oplus)$ be a $\mathcal K$-interpretable group that is either locally isomorphic to $(K,+)$ or to $(K,\cdot)$. Then if $\mathcal…

A classical theorem of R. Baer describes the nilpotent radical of a finite group G as the set of all Engel elements, i.e. elements y in G such that for any x in G the n-th commutator [x,y,...,y] equals 1 for n big enough. We obtain a…

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be finite dimensional restricted Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteritic $p>3$. A finite dimensional restricted $\mathcal{L}$-module $V$ is called Richardson if $V$ is faithful and there exists…

It is shown that the complex field equipped with the "approximate exponential map", defined up to ambiguity from a small group, is quasiminimal: every automorphism-invariant subset of the field is countable or co-countable. If the ambiguity…

We develop a general ring theory in the o-minimal setting culminating in a description of all the definable rings in an arbitrary o-minimal structure. We show that every definably connected ring with non-trivial multiplication defines an…

Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring with unity $1_R$ and $k \in R$. Properties of one-sided $k$-orthogonal $n \times n$ matrices over $R$ are presented. When $k$ is idempotent, these matrices form a semigroup structure. Consequently new…

We consider the logic space of countable (enumerated) groups and show that closed subspaces corresponding to some standard classes of groups have (do not have) generic groups. We also discuss the cases of semigroups and associative rings.

In this note we characterize the (resp., weak) Gorenstein global dimension for an arbitrary ring. Also, we extend the well-known Hilbert's syzygy Theorem to the weak Gorenstein global dimension and we study the weak Gorenstein homological…

On R^n endowed with a riemannian metric of bounded nonpositive curvature, the weakly convex closed subsets are topologically trivial. The stability of such subsets under intersection characterizes the euclidean spaces.

In this paper, we define and study a particular case of von Neumann regular notion called a weak von Neumann regular ring. It shown that the polynomial ring $R[x]$ is weak von Neumann regular if and only if $R$ has exactly two idempotent…

Let $R=\mathbb K[x,y,z]$ be a standard graded polynomial ring where $\mathbb K$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $M = \oplus_j M_j$ be a finite length graded $R$-module. We say that $M$ has the Weak Lefschetz…

A ring is rigid if there is no nonzero locally nilpotent derivation on it. In terms of algebraic geometry, a rigid coordinate ring corresponds to an algebraic affine variety which does not allow any nontrivial algebraic additive group…

We study locally finite varieties (=primitive classes) of linear algebras over finite fields. We do not assume that our algebras are associative or Lie. We are interested in the basic properties of finite algebras in these varieties such…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero. We deal with the algebraic closure of the field of fractions of the ring of formal power series $K[[x_1,\ldots,x_r]]$, $r\geq 2$. More precisely, we view the latter as a subfield of an iterated…

A commutative ring $R$ is stable provided every ideal of $R$ containing a nonzerodivisor is projective as a module over its ring of endomorphisms. The class of stable rings includes the one-dimensional local Cohen-Macaulay rings of…

In this paper we investigate weak polynomial identities for the Weyl algebra $\mathsf{A}_1$ over an infinite field of arbitrary characteristic. Namely, we describe weak polynomial identities of the minimal degree, which is three, and of…

This article presents three characterizations of the weak factorization systems on finitely complete categories that interpret intensional dependent type theory with Sigma-, Pi-, and Id-types. The first characterization is that the weak…

We prove a tight connection between reflexive modules over a one-dimensional ring $R$ and its birational extensions that are self-dual as $R$-modules. Consequently, we show that a complete local reduced Arf ring has finitely many…

If G is a locally essential subgroup of a compact abelian group K, then: (i) t(G)=w(G)=w(K), where t(G) is the tightness of G; (ii) if G is radial, then K must be metrizable; (iii) G contains a super-sequence S converging to 0 such that…
