A topologized semilattice $X$ is called complete if each non-empty chain $C\subset X$ has $\inf C\in\bar C$ and $\sup C\in\bar C$. We prove that for any continuous homomorphism $h:X\to Y$ from a complete topologized semilattice $X$ to a…
We prove that the problems of representing a finite ordered complemented semigroup or finite lattice-ordered semigroup as an algebra of binary relations over a finite set are undecidable. In the case that complementation is taken with…
It is shown that a closed solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is compactly generated. In particular, every discrete solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is finitely generated. Generalizations to locally compact groups are…
We investigate when the clone of congruence preserving functions is finitely generated. We obtain a full description for all finite $p$-groups, and for all finite algebras with Mal'cev term and simple congruence lattice. The…
It is known from Grzegorczyk's paper \cite{grze-1951} that the lattice of real semi-algebraic closed subsets of ${\mathbb R}^n$ is undecidable for every integer $n\geq 2$. More generally, if $X$ is any definable set over a real or…
A topologized semilattice $X$ is complete if each non-empty chain $C\subset X$ has $\inf C\in\bar C$ and $\sup C\in\bar C$. It is proved that for any complete subsemilattice $X$ of a functionally Hausdorff semitopological semilattice $Y$…
We study abstract elementary classes (AECs) that, in $\aleph_0$, have amalgamation, joint embedding, no maximal models and are stable (in terms of the number of orbital types). Assuming a locality property for types, we prove that such…
We study finitely generated models of countable theories, having at most countably many nonisomorphic finitely generated models. We intro- duce a notion of rank of finitely generated models and we prove, when T has at most countably many…
We characterize factor congruences in semilattices by using generalized notions of order ideal and of direct sum of ideals. When the semilattice has a minimum (maximum) element, these generalized ideals turn into ordinary (dual) ideals.
J. Tuma proved an interesting "congruence amalgamation" result. We are generalizing and providing an alternate proof for it. We then provide applications of this result: --A.P. Huhn proved that every distributive algebraic lattice $D$ with…
We study non-counital coalgebras and their dual non-unital algebras, and introduce the finite dual of a non-unital algebra. We show that a theory that parallels in good part the duality in the unital case can be constructed. Using this, we…
Dedekind stated and proved the well-known fact that a lattice is modular if and only if it does not contain a pentagon as a sublattice. In this paper we consider a similar result in the literature for the case of certain class of modular…
Let G be a countable group. We proof that there is a model companion for the approximate theory of a Hilbert space with a group G of automorphisms. We show that G is amenable if and only if the structure induced by countable copies of the…
We study countable embedding-universal and homomorphism-universal structures and unify results related to both of these notions. We show that many universal and ultrahomogeneous structures allow a concise description (called here a finite…
An $\omega_1$-compact space is a space in which every closed discrete subspace is countable. We give various general conditions under which a locally compact, $\omega_1$-compact space is $\sigma$-countably compact, i.e., the union of…
We begin a systematic study of finite semigroups that generate join irreducible members of the lattice of pseudovarieties of finite semigroups, which are important for the spectral theory of this lattice. Finite semigroups $S$ that generate…
We show, assuming PD, that every complete finitely axiomatized second order theory with a countable model is categorical, but that there is, assuming again PD, a complete recursively axiomatized second order theory with a countable model…
We study feebly compact topologies $\tau$ on the semilattice $\left(\exp_n\lambda,\cap\right)$ such that $\left(\exp_n\lambda,\tau\right)$ is a semitopological semilattice and prove that for any shift-continuous $T_1$-topology $\tau$ on…
We introduce and study a natural class of fields in which certain first-order definable sets are existentially definable, and characterise this class by a number of equivalent conditions. We show that global fields belong to this class, and…
We indicate a way of distinguishing between structures, for which, two structures are said to be separable.Being separable implies being non-isomorphic. We show that for any first order theory $T$ in a countable language, if it has an…
