Let $\mathbf{K}$ be the class of countable structures $M$ with the strong small index property and locally finite algebraicity, and $\mathbf{K}_*$ the class of $M \in \mathbf{K}$ such that $acl_M(\{ a \}) = \{ a \}$ for every $a \in M$. For…
We investigate the automorphisms of some $\kappa$- existentially closed groups. In particular, we prove that $Aut(G)$ is the union of subgroups of level preserving automorphisms and $|Aut(G)|=2^{\kappa}$ whenever $\kappa$ is inaccessible…
The structure of automorphism groups of $\kappa$-existentially closed groups are studied by Kaya-Kuzucuo\u{g}lu in 2022. It was proved that Aut(G) is the union of subgroups of level preserving automorphisms and $|Aut(G)|=2^\kappa$ whenever…
Answering some of the main questions from [MR13], we show that whenever $\kappa$ is a cardinal satisfying $\kappa^{< \kappa} = \kappa > \omega$, then the embeddability relation between $\kappa$-sized structures is strongly invariantly…
Let $G$ be a topological group and let $\mu$ be the Lebesgue measure on the interval $[0,1]$. We let $L_0(G)$ to be the topological group of all $\mu$-equivalence classes of $\mu$-measurable functions defined on [0,1] with values in $G$,…
We show that for any uncountable cardinal $\lambda$, the category of sets of cardinality at least $\lambda$ and monomorphisms between them cannot appear as the category of point of a topos, in particular is not the category of models of a…
In this paper, we extend the concept of a Lascar generic automorphism in the setting of models of Peano arithmetic ($\mathrm{PA}$) to the subgroup of the automorphism group of a countable recursively saturated model $\mathcal{M}$ of…
Let T be a complete, first-order theory in a finite or countable language having infinite models. Let I(T,kappa) be the number of isomorphism types of models of T of cardinality \kappa. We denote by \mu (respectively \hat\mu) the number of…
For every countable structure $M$ we construct an $\aleph_0$-stable countable structure $N$ such that $Aut(M)$ and $Aut(N)$ are topologically isomorphic. This shows that it is impossible to detect any form of stability of a countable…
We show a new proof for the fact that when $\kappa$ and $\lambda$ are infinite cardinals satisfying $\lambda ^ \kappa = \lambda$, the cofinality of the set of all functions from $\lambda$ to $\kappa$ ordered by everywhere domination is…
Let $\mathcal M$ be a compact complex supermanifold. We prove that the set $\mathrm{Aut}_{\bar 0}(\mathcal M)$ of automorphisms of $\mathcal M$ can be endowed with the structure of a complex Lie group acting holomorphically on $\mathcal M$,…
A countable graph is ultrahomogeneous if every isomorphism between finite induced subgraphs can be extended to an automorphism. Woodrow and Lachlan showed that there are essentially four types of such countably infinite graphs: the random…
This is part I of a study on cardinals that are characterizable by Scott sentences. Building on [3], [6] and [1] we study which cardinals are characterizable by a Scott sentence $\phi$, in the sense that $\phi$ characterizes $\kappa$, if…
The topology of a separable metrizable space $M$ is \emph{generated} by a family $\mathcal{C}$ of its subsets provided that a set $A\subseteq M$ is closed in $M$ if and only if $A\cap C$ is closed in $C$ for each $C\in \mathcal{C}$. The…
We try to build, provably in ZFC, for a first order T a model in which any isomorphism between two Boolean algebras is definable. The problem, compared to [Sh:384], is with pseudo-finite Boolean algebras. A side benefit is that we do not…
Generalizing the $\omega$-categorical context, we introduce a notion, which we call the Lascar Property, that allows for a fine analysis of the topological isomorphisms between automorphism groups of countable structures satisfying this…
In S. 1 we deal with amalgamation bases, e.g., we define when an a.e.c. $k$ has $(\lambda,\kappa)$-amalgamation which means "many" M in $K^k_\lambda$ are amalgamation bases. We then consider what happens for the class of lf groups. In S. 2…
The main theorem of this article is that every countable model of set theory M, including every well-founded model, is isomorphic to a submodel of its own constructible universe. In other words, there is an embedding $j:M\to L^M$ that is…
This paper is part II of a study on cardinals that are characterizable by a Scott sentence, continuing the work from http://arxiv.org/abs/1007.2426v1. A cardinal $\kappa$ is characterized by a Scott sentence $\phi_M$, if $\phi_M$ has a…
To every $\omega$-categorical structure $M$ one can associate two spaces of symmetries which determine the structure up to first-order bi-interpretability: the topological group $\mathrm{Aut}(M)$ of its automorphisms and the topological…
