We study rigidity properties of linearly ordered sets (chains) under automorphisms, order-embeddings, epimorphisms, and endomorphisms. We focus on two main cases, dense subchains of the real numbers, and uncountable dense chains of higher…

The multiplicative theory of a set of numbers (which could be natural, integer, rational, real or complex numbers) is the first-order theory of the structure of that set with (solely) the multiplication operation (that set is taken to be…

We prove that the isomorphism problem for finitely generated fully residually free groups is decidable. We also show that each finitely generated fully residually free group G has a decomposition that is invariant under automorphisms of G,…

Due to the undecidability of most type-related properties of System F like type inhabitation or type checking, restricted polymorphic systems have been widely investigated (the most well-known being ML-polymorphism). In this paper we…

We show that the common theory of all modules over a tubular algebra (over a recursive algebraically closed field) is decidable. This result supports a long standing conjecture of Mike Prest which says that a finite-dimensional algebra…

In this paper we prove undecidability of finite systems of equations in free Lie algebras of rank at least three over an arbitrary field. We show that the ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ is interpretable by positive existential formulas in…

A group is called square-like if it is universally equivalent to its direct square. It is known that the class of all square-like groups admits an explicit first order axiomatization but its theory is undecidable. We prove that the theory…

We develop a rigidity theory for frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which have two coincident points but are otherwise generic and only infinitesimal motions which are tangential to a family of cylinders induced by the realisation are considered.…

We address the satisfiability problem for string constraints that combine relational constraints represented by transducers, word equations, and string length constraints. This problem is undecidable in general. Therefore, we propose a new…

A new mathematics, the constructive one, characterizes a singular limit as undecidable. Hence, a singular limit between two theories actually represents a difference between two different kinds of mathematics. This particular situation…

We study the reactive synthesis problem (RS) for specifications given in Metric Interval Temporal Logic (MITL). RS is known to be undecidable in a very general setting, but on infinite words only; and only the very restrictive BRRS subcase…

Building on work of J. Robinson and A. Shlapentokh, we develop a general framework to obtain definability and decidability results of large classes of infinite algebraic extensions of $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$. As an application, we show that for…

In this paper, we consider iterative propositional calculi, which are finite sets of propositional formulas together with the rules of modus ponens and weak substitution (when formula being substituted must be already inferred). We…

We establish a rigidity theorem for annular sector-like domains in the setting of overdetermined elliptic problems on model Riemannian manifolds. Specifically, if such a domain admits a solution to the inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation…

Defeasible logic is a rule-based nonmonotonic logic, with both strict and defeasible rules, and a priority relation on rules. We show that inference in the propositional form of the logic can be performed in linear time. This contrasts…
