Using a almost product structure defined by a spray, we give a necessary and sufficient condition, for a linear connection with vanishing torsion to be Riemannian and, for the semi-simplicity of Lie algebra of projectable vector fields…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete amenable group, and let $A=l^\infty(\Gamma) \rtimes \Gamma$ or $A = \mathrm{C}(M) \rtimes \Gamma$, where $(M, \Gamma)$ is the universal minimal set of $\Gamma$. It is shown that if $a, b \in A \otimes…

We develop a semigroup approach to representation theory for pro-Lie groups satisfying suitable amenability conditions. As an application of our approach, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between equivalence classes of unitary…

It is proved that, for a wide class of topological abelian groups (locally quasi--convex groups for which the canonical evaluation from the group into its Pontryagin bidual group is onto) the arc component of the group is exactly the union…

Let $E$ be a field satisfying the following conditions: (i) the $p$-component of the Brauer group Br$(E)$ is nontrivial whenever $p$ is a prime number for which $E$ is properly included in its maximal $p$-extension; (ii) the relative Brauer…

We show that for every countable group, any sequence of approximate homomorphisms with values in permutations can be realized as the restriction of a sofic approximation of an orbit equivalence relation. Moreover, this orbit equivalence…

When a topological group $G$ acts on a compact space $X$, its enveloping semigroup $E(X)$ is the closure of the set of $g$-translations, $g\in G$, in the compact space $X^X$. Assume that $X$ is metrizable. It has recently been shown by the…

We consider the complexity of Green's relations when the semigroup is given by transformations on a finite set. Green's relations can be defined by reachability in the (right/left/two-sided) Cayley graph. The equivalence classes then…

It is now known that for any prime p and any finite semiabelian p-group G, there exists a (tame) realization of G as a Galois group over the rationals Q with exactly d = d(G) ramified primes, where d(G) is the minimal number of generators…

We show that quasi-projective relation algebras and directed cylindric algebras are equivalent categorialy. We work out a Godels second incompleteness theorem for finite varibale fragments of first order logic. We show that distinct set…

In this paper the Erdos-Rado theorem is generalized to the class of well founded trees. We define an equivalence relation on the class rs(infty)^{< aleph_0} (finite sequences of decreasing sequences of ordinals) with aleph_0 equivalence…

For a prime p and natural number n with p greater than or equal to n, we establish the existence of a non-functorial one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of groups of order p^n whose derived subgroup has exponent dividing…

A group is called square-like if it is universally equivalent to its direct square. It is known that the class of all square-like groups admits an explicit first order axiomatization but its theory is undecidable. We prove that the theory…

Suppose $\mathbb{F}$ is a field of prime characteristic $p$ and $E$ is a finite subgroup of the additive group $(\mathbb{F},+)$. Then $E$ is an elementary abelian $p$-group. We consider two such subgroups, say $E$ and $E'$, to be equivalent…

We define R-equivalence for group schemes over a semilocal ring and relate this with rational properties. Two main cases are investigated: tori and isotropic semisimple simply connected group schemes where we show in certain cases that…

We prove the Tree Alternative Conjecture for the topological minor relation: letting $[T]$ denote the equivalence class of $T$ under the topological minor relation we show that: $|[T]| = 1$ or $|[T]|\geq \aleph_0$ and $\forall r\in V(T)$,…

We introduce a notion of compatible quasi-ordered groups which unifies valued and ordered abelian groups. It was proved in a paper by Fakhruddin that a compatible quasi-order on a field is always either an order or a valuation. We show here…

In this paper, we develop several structure theorems concerning commuting transformations and minimal $\mathbb{R}$-flows. Specifically, we show that if $(X,S)$, $(X,T)$ are minimal systems with $S$ and $T$ being commutative, then they…

S.B. Rao conjectured in 1971 that graphic degree sequences are well quasi ordered by a relation defined in terms of the induced subgraph relation. In 2008, M. Chudnovsky and P. Seymour proved this long standing Rao's Conjecture by giving…

We explore the idea that the derivative of the volume, V, of a region in R^d with respect to r equals its surface area, A, where r = d V/A. We show that the families of regions for which this formula for r is valid, which we call…
