We show how the existence of various free vector lattices and free vector lattice algebras can be derived from a theorem on equational classes in universal algebra. A discussion about free $f$-algebras over non-empty sets is given, where…

A set $A$ is dually Dedekind finite if every surjection from $A$ onto $A$ is injective; otherwise, $A$ is dually Dedekind infinite. An amorphous set is an infinite set that cannot be partitioned into two infinite subsets. A strictly…

Let $G$ be a compact Hausdorff topological group acting on a compact Hausdorff topological space $X$. Within the $C^{*}$-algebra $C(X)$ of all continuous complex-valued functions on $X$, there is the Peter-Weyl algebra $\mathcal{P}_G(X)$…

This paper develops a rich theory of cardinality in the paraconsistent and paracomplete set theory $\mathrm{BZFC}$, where sets can be inconsistent ($A$ such that ``$x\in A$'' is both true and false for some $x$) or incomplete ($A$ such that…

In this note we show that there exist a $2^\mathfrak{c}$-generated free algebra $\mathcal{S} \subset \mathbb{R}^\mathbb{R}$ of Riemann integrable functions and a free algebra $\mathcal{C} \subset \mathbb{R}^{[0,1]}$ of continuous functions,…

Let $X$ be any scheme defined over a Dedekind scheme $S$ with a given section $x\in X(S)$. We prove the existence of a pro-finite $S$-group scheme $\aleph(X,x)$ and a universal $\aleph(X,x)$-torsor dominating all the pro-finite pointed…

It is well known from universal algebra that, for every signature $\Sigma$, there exist algebras over $\Sigma$ which are absolutely free, meaning that they do not satisfy any identities or, alternatively, satisfy the universal mapping…

For a set $X\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, we define the $X$-torsion of a group $G$ to be all elements $g\in G$ with $g^{n}=e$ for some $n\in X$. With $X$ recursively enumerable, we give two independent proofs (group-theoretic, and model-theoretic)…

It is shown that universal algebras that are injective in their equational classes are characterized by internal property that can be called completeness. We define universal algebra $A$ as complete (closed to simple extensions) if for each…

We present a self-contained analysis of infinity from two mathematical perspectives: set theory and algebra. We begin with cardinal and ordinal numbers, examining deep questions such as the continuum hypothesis, along with foundational…

We give a general closing-off argument in Theorem 2.1 from which several corollaries follow, including (1) if $X$ is a locally compact Hausdorff space then $|X|\leq 2^{wL(X)\psi(X)}$, and (2) if $X$ is a locally compact power homogeneous…

We study general nilpotent algebras. The results obtained are new even for the classical algebras, such as associative or Lie algebras. We single out certain generic properties of finite-dimensional algebras, mostly over infinite fields.…

A subset $X$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be prime-power-independent if each element in $X$ has prime power order and there is no proper subset $Y$ of $X$ with $\langle Y, \Phi(G)\rangle = \langle X, \Phi(G)\rangle$, where $\Phi(G)$ is…

An important classical result in ZFC asserts that every infinite cardinal number is idempotent. Using this fact, we obtain several algebraic results in this article. The first result asserts that an infinite Abelian group has a proper…

Let k be a definable L-cardinal. Then there is a set of reals X, class-generic over L, such that L(X) and L have the same cardinals, X has size k in L(X) and some pi-1-2 formula defines X in all set-generic extensions of L(X). Two…

We prove that any definable family of subsets of a definable infinite set $A$ in an o-minimal structure has cardinality at most $|A|$. We derive some consequences in terms of counting definable types and existence of definable topological…

We call a nonempty subset $A$ of a topological space $X$ finitely non-Urysohn if for every nonempty finite subset $F$ of $A$ and every family $\{U_x:x\in F\}$ of open neighborhoods $U_x$ of $x\in F$, $\cap\{\mathrm{cl}(U_x):x\in…

Using the notion of proper Cantor colorings we prove the following theorem. For any countably infinite group $\Gamma$, there exists a free continuous action $\zeta: \Gamma \curvearrowright C$ on the Cantor set, which is universal in the…

We introduce the cardinal invariant $aL^\prime(X)$ and show that $|X|\leq 2^{aL^\prime(X)\chi(X)}$ for any Hausdorff space $X$ (a corollary of Theorem 4.4. This invariant has the properties a) $aL^\prime(X)=\aleph_0$ if $X$ is H-closed, and…

We introduce the variety ${\mathfrak B}_{\textrm{sup}}$ of bicommutative superalgebras over an arbitrary field of characteristic different from 2. The variety consists of all nonassociative ${\mathbb Z}_2$-graded algebras satisfying the…
