A new axiom is proposed, the Ground Axiom, asserting that the universe is not a nontrivial set forcing extension of any inner model. The Ground Axiom is first-order expressible, and any model of ZFC has a class forcing extension which…

A permutation group is called semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is either transitive or semiregular. Given nontrivial finite transitive permutation groups $L_1$ and $L_2$ with $L_1$ not semiprimitive, we construct an infinite…

We prove that for every tower $\mathcal T$ there are $\aleph_1$-dense $A$ and $B$ so that any ``reasonable" forcing notion $\mathbb{P}$ -- an adjective that includes all known ones -- for making $A$ and $B$ isomorphic will add a…

Descriptive set theory was originally developed on Polish spaces. It was later extended to $\omega$-continuous domains [Selivanov 2004] and recently to quasi-Polish spaces [de Brecht 2013]. All these spaces are countably-based. Extending…

Let ${\mathscr G}$ be a linear algebraic group over $k$, where $k$ is an algebraically closed field, a pseudo-finite field or the valuation ring of a nonarchimedean local field. Let $G= {\mathscr G}(k)$. We prove that if $\gamma, \delta\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…

In a seminal paper, Choquet introduced an integral formula to extend a monotone increasing setfunction on a sigma-algebra to a (nonlinear) functional on bounded measurable functions. The most important special case is when the setfunction…

In this article we treat a notion of continuity for a multi-valued function F and we compute the descriptive set-theoretic complexity of the set of all x for which F is continuous at x. We give conditions under which the latter set is…

We present a new proof of the transformation law of $\vartheta_1$ under the action of the generator of the full modular group $\Gamma$ using Siegel's method.

We show that given a monadically stable theory $T$, a sufficiently saturated $\mathbf M \models T$, and a coherent system of probability measures on the $\sigma$-algebras generated by parameter-definable sets of $\mathbf M$ in each…

In a previous paper we constructed $\textit{higher}$ theta series for unitary groups over function fields, and conjectured their modularity properties. Here we prove the generic modularity of the $\ell$-adic realization of higher theta…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a basic simple Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and $\theta$ an involution of $\mathfrak{g}$ preserving a nondegenerate invariant form. We prove that either $\theta$ or…

In a recent article (2022) we proved with L. Zaj\'i\v{c}ek that if $ G\subset\R^n $ is an unbounded open convex set that does not contain a translation of a convex cone with non-empty interior, then there exist $ f:G\to\R $ and a concave…

Some sorts of generalized morphisms are defined from very basic mathematical objects such as sets, functions, and partial functions. A wide range of mathematical notions such as continuous functions between topological spaces, ring…

By a theorem of Chevalley the image of a morphism of varieties is a constructible set. The algebraic version of this fact is usually stated as a result on "extension of specializations" or "lifting of prime ideals". We present a difference…

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 $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a complete hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ with toric cusps. We define the $\omega$-Borel invariant $\beta_n^\omega(\rho_\omega)$ associated to a representation $\rho_\omega: \Gamma \rightarrow…

For any commutative ring $A$ we introduce a generalization of $S$-noetherian rings using a hereditary torsion theory $\sigma$ instead of a multiplicatively closed subset $S\subseteq{A}$. It is proved that if $A$ is a totally…

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…

We generalize a result of Hochman in two simultaneous directions: Instead of realizing an effectively closed $\mathbb{Z}^d$ action as a factor of a subaction of a $\mathbb{Z}^{d+2}$-SFT we realize an action of a finitely generated group…
