We study groups and rings definable in d-minimal expansions of ordered fields. We generalize to such objects some known results from o-minimality. In particular, we prove that we can endow a definable group with a definable topology making…

We give a classification and complete algebraic description of groups allowing only finitely many (left multiplication invariant) circular orders. In particular, they are all solvable groups with a specific semi-direct product…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a set of finite groups. A finite group $G$ is called an \emph{$\mathcal{F}$-cover} if every group in $\mathcal{F}$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of $G$. An $\mathcal{F}$-cover is called \emph{minimal} if no proper…

We prove that the semigroup operation of a topological semigroup $S$ extends to a continuous semigroup operation on its the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification $\beta S$ provided $S$ is a pseudocompact openly factorizable space, which means…

In this note we show that every definably connected, definably compact abelian definable group in an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field of dimension not 4 is definably homeomorphic to a torus of the same dimension. Moreover, in the…

In this paper, we study definably compact semigroups in o-minimal structures, aiming to extend the theory of definable groups to a broader algebraic setting. We show that any definably compact semigroup contains idempotents and admits a…

We study directed sets definable in o-minimal structures, showing that in expansions of ordered fields these admit cofinal definable curves, as well as a suitable analogue in expansions of ordered groups, and furthermore that no analogue…

We prove that groups definable in o-minimal structures have Cartan subgroups, and only finitely many conjugacy classes of such subgroups. We also delineate with precision how these subgroups cover the ambient group, in general very largely…

We study sets and groups definable in tame expansions of o-minimal structures. Let $\mathcal {\widetilde M}= \langle \mathcal M, P\rangle$ be an expansion of an o-minimal $\mathcal L$-structure $\cal M$ by a dense set $P$, such that three…

In this paper, nil extensions of some special type of ordered semigroups, such as, simple regular ordered semigroups, left simple and right regular ordered semigroup. Moreover, we have characterized complete semilattice decomposition of all…

We consider an almost o-minimal expansion of an ordered group $\mathcal M=(M,<,+,0,\ldots)$ and its tame extension $\mathcal N=(N,<,+,0,\ldots)$. We demonstrate that the subset $\{x \in M^n\;|\; \mathcal N \models \Phi(x,a)\}$ of $M^n$…

Every semigroup which is a finite disjoint union of copies of the free monogenic semigroup (natural numbers under addition) is finitely presented and residually finite.

We introduce the o-minimal LS-category of definable sets in o-minimal expansions of ordered fields and we establish a relation with the semialgebraic and the classical one. We also study the o-minimal LS-category of definable groups. Along…

It is proved that, in certain subgroups of direct products of countable groups, the property of being an unconditionally closed set coincides with that of being an algebraic set. In particular, these properties coincide in all Abelian…

We show that certain families of sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ (or $\mathbb{R}^n$) which are neither definable nor have bounded VC-dimension are nonetheless uniformly approximately definable in the real field, an o-minimal structure.

We prove that the non-separating curve complex of every surface of finite type and genus at least three admits an exhaustion by finite rigid sets.

We constructively prove that the partially ordered set of finite permutations ordered by deletion of entries contains an infinite antichain.

We prove that if $G$ is a totally bounded abelian group \st\ its dual group $\widehat{G}_p$ equipped with the finite-open topology is a Baire group, then every compact subset of $G$ must be finite. This solves an open question by Chasco,…

By considering appropriate finite covering spaces of closed non-orientable surfaces, we construct linear representations of their mapping class group which have finite index image in certain big arithmetic groups.

The goal of this article is to study results and examples concerning finitely presented covers of finitely generated amenable groups. We collect examples of groups $G$ with the following properties: (i) $G$ is finitely generated, (ii) $G$…
