The directions of an infinite graph $G$ are a tangle-like description of its ends: they are choice functions that choose compatibly for all finite vertex sets $X\subseteq V(G)$ a component of $G-X$. Although every direction is induced by a…

In this paper, we classify the finite dimensional irreducible modules for affine BMW algebra over an algebraically closed field with arbitrary characteristic.

We provide a clarification of the classification of two-dimensional algebras over an arbitrary base field. Using this clarification, we determine the number of non-isomorphic two-dimensional algebras over a finite field.

In this article, which is dedicated to my friend and colleague Boris Zilber on the occasion of his 75th birthday, I put forward a strategy for proving his quasiminimality conjecture for the complex exponential field. That is, for showing…

Let End(V) denote the ring of all linear transformations of an arbitrary k-vector space V over a field k. We define a subset X of End(V) to be "triangularizable" if V has a well-ordered basis such that X sends each vector in that basis to…

We study subfields of large fields which are generated by infinite existentially definable subsets. We say that such subfields are existentially generated. Let $L$ be a large field of characteristic exponent $p$, and let $E\subseteq L$ be…

We study definable sets, groups, and fields in the theory $T_\infty$ of infinite-dimensional vector spaces over an algebraically closed field equipped with a nondegenerate symmetric (or alternating) bilinear form. First, we define an…

This paper analyzes theorems about algebraic field extensions using the techniques of reverse mathematics. In section 2, we show that $\mathsf{WKL}_0$ is equivalent to the ability to extend $F$-automorphisms of field extensions to…

Tate's theorem (Invent. Math. 1966)implies that the Tate conjecture holds for any abelian variety over a finite field whose Q_l-algebra of Tate classes is generated by those of degree 1. We construct families of abelian varieties over…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. The problem of constructing indecomposable $A$-modules inductively from simple ones by means of exact sequences - called accessibility - is the starting point of…

Let $K$ be a subfield of $\mathbb{R}$. The theory of $\mathbb{R}$ viewed as an ordered $K$-vector space and expanded by a predicate for $\mathbb{Z}$ is decidable if and only if $K$ is a real quadratic field.

We classify all possible extensions of a valuation from a ground field $K$ to a rational function field in one or several variables over $K$. We determine which value groups and residue fields can appear, and we show how to construct…

We prove a strong dichotomy result for countably-infinite oriented graphs; that is, we prove that for all countably-infinite oriented graphs $G$, either (i) there is a countably-infinite tournament $K$ such that $G\not\subseteq K$, or (ii)…

In the paper the class of all solvable extensions of a filiform Leibniz algebra in the infinite-dimensional case is classified. The filiform Leibniz algebra is taken as a maximal pro-nilpotent ideal of residually solvable Leibniz algebra.…

Let K be the function field of a variety of dimension at least 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Then Hilbert's Tenth Problem for K is undecidable. This generalizes the result by Kim and Roush from 1992 that…

Let $\phi\colon A\rightarrow B$ be an algebra extension. We prove that if $\phi$ is split, the derived-discreteness of $A$ implies the derived-discreteness of $B$; if $\phi$ is separable and the right $A$-module $B$ is projective, the…

We show that if $k$ is a countable field, then there exists a finitely generated, infinite-dimensional, primitive algebraic $k$-algebra $A$ whose Gelfand-Kirillov dimension is at most six. In addition to this we construct a two-generated…

We show that every definable group G in an o-minimal structure is definably finitely generated. That is, G contains a finite subset that is not included in any proper definable subgroup. This provides another proof, and a generalization to…

Theories of classification distinguish classes with some good structure theorem from those for which none is possible. Some classes (dense linear orders, for instance) are non-classifiable in general, but are classifiable when we consider…

The ordered structures of natural, integer, rational and real numbers are studied here. It is known that the theories of these numbers in the language of order are decidable and finitely axiomatizable. Also, their theories in the language…
