An order relation for contractions on a Hilbert space can be introduced by stating that $A\preccurlyeq B$ if and only $A$ is unitarily equivalent to the restriction of $B$ to an invariant subspace. We discuss the equivalence classes…
We show that polynomial time Turing equivalence and a large class of other equivalence relations from computational complexity theory are universal countable Borel equivalence relations. We then discuss ultrafilters on the invariant Borel…
We study the first-order model checking problem on two generalisations of pushdown graphs. The first class is the class of nested pushdown trees. The other is the class of collapsible pushdown graphs. Our main results are the following.…
We propose a generalization of first-order logic originating in a neglected work by C.C. Chang: a natural and generic correspondence language for any types of structures which can be recast as Set-coalgebras. We discuss axiomatization and…
We study the program complexity of datalog on both finite and infinite linear orders. Our main result states that on all linear orders with at least two elements, the nonemptiness problem for datalog is EXPTIME-complete. While containment…
Adopting former term rewriting characterisations of polytime and exponential-time computable functions, we introduce a new reduction order, the Path Order for ETIME (POE* for short), that is sound and complete for ETIME computable…
The \emph{index set} of a computable structure $\mathcal{A}$ is the set of indices for computable copies of $\mathcal{A}$. We determine the complexity of the index sets of various mathematically interesting structures, including arbitrary…
We study the first-order consequences of Ramsey's Theorem for $k$-colourings of $n$-tuples, for fixed $n, k \ge 2$, over the relatively weak second-order arithmetic theory $\mathrm{RCA}^*_0$. Using the Chong-Mourad coding lemma, we show…
We present here the explicit parametric solutions of second order differential equations invariant under time translation and rescaling and third order differential equations invariant under time translation and the two homogeneity…
This paper aims at carrying out termination proofs for simply typed higher-order calculi automatically by using ordering comparisons. To this end, we introduce the computability path ordering (CPO), a recursive relation on terms obtained by…
Computably enumerable equivalence relations (ceers) received a lot of attention in the literature. The standard tool to classify ceers is provided by the computable reducibility $\leq_c$. This gives rise to a rich degree-structure. In this…
In this work we continue the syntactic study of completeness that began with the works of Immerman and Medina. In particular, we take a conjecture raised by Medina in his dissertation that says if a conjunction of a second-order and a…
In this paper, we show that the derivability problem for the primal propositional logic remains solvable in polynomial time upon adding a certain form of the principle of equivalent form substitution; and that, upon adding another form of…
We study the finite satisfiability problem for the two-variable fragment of first-order logic extended with counting quantifiers (C2) and interpreted over linearly ordered structures. We show that the problem is undecidable in the case of…
In this short note we show that every connected reductive simply-connected algebraic group of rank $>1$ over the complex numbers has infinitely many pairs of irreducible representations which are not related by an automorphism of the…
In this paper, we study the symmetric rank of products of linear forms and an irreducible quadratic form. The main result presents a new, non-trivial lower bound for the rank, and the arguments rely on the apolarity lemma. In the special…
We investigate the partial orderings of the form (P(X),\subset), where X is a countable binary relational structure and P(X) the set of the domains of its isomorphic substructures and show that if the components of X are maximally…
A finite number of rational functions are compatible if they satisfy the compatibility conditions of a first-order linear functional system involving differential, shift and q-shift operators. We present a theorem that describes the…
We show that the satisfiability and finite satisfiability problems for the two-variable fragment of first-order logic with counting quantifiers are both in NEXPTIME, even when counting quantifiers are coded succinctly.
We introduce ordinal collapsing principles that are inspired by proof theory but have a set theoretic flavor. These principles are shown to be equivalent to iterated $\Pi^1_1$-comprehension and the existence of admissible sets, over weak…
