The problem of the existence of non-pseudo-$\aleph_1$-compact $\mathbb R$-factorizable groups is studied. It is proved that any such group is submetrizable and has weight larger than $\omega_1$. Closely related results concerning the…

This paper deals with the class of existentially closed models of fields with a distinguished submodule (over a fixed subring). In the positive characteristic case, this class is elementary and was investigated by the first-named author.…

We construct numerous continuous families of irreducible subfactors of the hyperfinite II$_1$ factor, which are non-isomorphic, but have all the same standard invariant. In particular, we obtain 1-parameter families of irreducible,…

We describe the structure of all continuous Jordan triple endomorphisms of the set $\mathbb{P}_2$ of all positive definite $2\times 2$ matrices thus completing a recent result of ours. We also mention an application concerning sorts of…

Among (isotopy classes of) automorphisms of handlebodies those called irreducible (or generic) are the most interesting, analogues of pseudo-Anosov automorphisms of surfaces. We consider the problem of isotoping an irreducible automorphism…

We describe the volume dependence of matrix elements of local fields to all orders in inverse powers of the volume (i.e. only neglecting contributions that decay exponentially with volume). Using the scaling Lee-Yang model and the Ising…

Given a countable group G, we consider the sets S_factor(G), S_eqrel(G), of subgroups F of the positive real line for which there exists a free ergodic probability measure preserving action G on X such that the fundamental group of the…

It is shown that finitely presented icc inner amenable groups yield strongly 1-bounded II_1 factors.

We demonstrate that any full and faithful $*$-functor between approximable categories of locally finite coarse spaces induces a coarse embedding between the underlying spaces. Furthermore, we establish a general characterisation of such…

Given a monad T on a suitable enriched category B equipped with a proper factorization system (E,M), we define notions of T-completion, T-closure, and T-density. We show that not only the familiar notions of completion, closure, and density…

We show that for k a perfect field of characteristic p, there exist endomorphisms of the completed algebraic closure of k((t)) which are not bijective. As a corollary, we resolve a question of Fargues and Fontaine by showing that for p a…

Infinite types and formulas are known to have really curious and unsound behaviors. For instance, they allow to type {\Omega}, the auto- autoapplication and they thus do not ensure any form of normalization/productivity. Moreover, in most…

Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a finite group $G$. For a faithful $N$-set $\Delta$, applying the university embedding theorem one can construct a faithful $G$-set $\Omega$. In this short note, it is proved that if the $2$-closure of $N$ in…

We show that on a closed Riemannian manifold with fundamental group isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}$, other than the circle, every isometry that is homotopic to the identity possesses infinitely many invariant geodesics. This completes a recent…

In this paper, we use a unified framework introduced in [3] to study two classes of nonconforming immersed finite element (IFE) spaces with integral value degrees of freedom. The shape functions on interface elements are piecewise…

We consider II$_1$ factors $M$ which can be realized as inductive limits of subfactors, $N_n \nearrow M$, having spectral gap in $M$ and satisfying the bi-commutant condition $(N_n'\cap M)'\cap M=N_n$. Examples are the enveloping algebras…

We show that the theory of De Morgan algebras has a model completion and axiomatise it. Then we prove that it is $\aleph_0$-categorical and describe definable and algebraic closures in that theory. We also obtain similar results for…

In \cite{Ioana:vNsuperrigidity}, Ioana introduced three new invariants of type II$_1$ factors: the one-sided fundamental group, the endomorphism semigroup and the set of right-finite bimodules. In \cite{Ioana:vNsuperrigidity}, he does not…

We prove that among the finite dimensional algebras of finite representation type those that are string algebras are precisely the ones that have the property that the middle term of an arbitrary extension of indecomposable modules has at…

We offer a criterion for showing that the automorphism group of an ultrahomogeneous structure is topologically 2-generated and even has a cyclically dense conjugacy class. We then show how finite topological rank of the automorphism group…
