Let $G$ be an almost simple, simply connected algebraic group defined over a number field $k$, and let $S$ be a finite set of places of $k$ including all infinite places. Let $X$ be the product over $v\in S$ of the symmetric spaces…
Let ${\frak F}$ be a class of group and $G$ a finite group. Then a set $\Sigma $ of subgroups of $G$ is called a \emph{$G$-covering subgroup system} for the class ${\frak F}$ if $G\in {\frak F}$ whenever $\Sigma \subseteq {\frak F}$. We…
We investigate the descriptive set-theoretic complexity of the solvability of a Borel family of linear equations over a finite field. Answering a question of Thornton, we show that this problem is already hard, namely $\Sigma^1_2$-complete.…
It is shown how derived brackets naturally arise in sigma-models via Poisson- or antibracket, generalizing a recent observation by Alekseev and Strobl. On the way to a precise formulation of this relation, an explicit coordinate expression…
The paper has two purposes. First, we start to develop a theory of infinite global fields, i.e., of infinite algebraic extensions either of ${\mathbb{Q}}$ or of ${\mathbb{F}}_r(t)$. We produce a series of invariants of such fields, and we…
The following extension of Bohr's theorem is established: If a somewhere convergent Dirichlet series $f$ has an analytic continuation to the half-plane $\mathbb{C}_\theta = \{s = \sigma+it\,:\, \sigma>\theta\}$ that maps $\mathbb{C}_\theta$…
Descriptive set theory is mainly concerned with studying subsets of the space of all countable binary sequences. In this paper we study the generalization where countable is replaced by uncountable. We explore properties of generalized…
A general structure theorem on higher order invariants is proven. For an arithmetic group, the structure of the corresponding Hecke module is determined. It is shown that the module does not contain any irreducible submodule. This explains…
Let R be the polynomial ring in n variables, acted on by the symmetric group S_n. Soergel constructed a full monoidal subcategory of R-bimodules which categorifies the Hecke algebra, whose objects are now known as Soergel bimodules. Soergel…
Let G be a graph whose edges are labeled by ideals of a commutative ring. We introduce a generalized spline, which is a vertex-labeling of G by elements of the ring so that the difference between the labels of any two adjacent vertices lies…
Suppose $G$ is an arbitrary additively written primary abelian group with a fixed large subgroup $L$. It is shown that $G$ is (a) summable; (b) $\sigma$-summable;\break (c) a $\Sigma$-group; (d) $p^{\omega+1}$-projective only when so is…
Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on $\Omega$ with two points $\alpha, \beta\in\Omega$ such that $G_{\alpha}\cap G_{\beta}=1$. The Saxl graph $\Sigma(G)$ of the pair $(G,\Omega)$ is the graph with vertex set $\Omega$, while two…
The \emph{shift map} $\sigma$ is the self-homeomorphism of $\omega^* = \beta\omega \setminus \omega$ induced by the successor function $n \mapsto n+1$ on $\omega$. We prove that the isomorphism classes of $\sigma$ and $\sigma^{-1}$ cannot…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over the complex numbers. To every representation $\rho\colon \GL(r)\lra \GL(V)$ of the complex general linear group on the finite dimensional complex vector space $V$ which satisfies the assumption that…
We investigate the position that foundational theories should be modelled on ordinary computability. In this context, we investigate the metamathematics of $\Sigma$ formulas. We consider theories whose axioms are implications between…
We generalize Gaeta's Theorem to the family of determinantal schemes. In other words, we show that the schemes defined by minors of a fixed size of a matrix with polynomial entries belong to the same G-biliaison class of a complete…
We show that if A is a linear order then Th(A) is either $\aleph_0$-categorical or Borel complete (in the sense of Friedman and Stanley). We generalize this; if A has countably many unary predicates attached, then Th(A) is…
A notion of an algebroid - a generalization of a Lie algebroid structure is introduced. We show that many objects of the differential calculus on a manifold M associated with the canonical Lie algebroid structure on T^M can be obtained in…
We give a new syntax independent definition of the notion of a generalized algebraic theory as an initial object in a category of categories with families (cwfs) with extra structure. To this end we define inductively how to build a valid…
We study and classify topologically invariant $\sigma$-ideals with a Borel base on the Hilbert cube and evaluate their cardinal characteristics. One of the results of this paper solves (positively) a known problem whether the minimal…
