A generic extension $L[x,y]$ of $L$ by reals $x,y$ is defined, in which the union of $\mathsf E_0$-classes of $x$ and $y$ is a $\Pi^1_2$ set, but neither of these two $\mathsf E_0$-classes is separately ordinal-definable.

We make use of a finite support product of Jensen forcing to define a model in which there is a countable non-empty lightface $\Pi^1_2$ set of reals containing no ordinal-definable real.

Using a modification of the invariant Jensen forcing, we define a model of ZFC, in which, for a given $n\ge3$, there exists a lightface $\varPi^1_n$ set of reals, which is a ${\mathsf E}_0$ equivalence class, hence a countable set, and…

A real X is defined to be relatively c.e. if there is a real Y such that X is c.e.(Y) and Y does not compute X. A real X is relatively simple and above if there is a real Y <_T X such that X is c.e.(Y) and there is no infinite subset Z of…

We prove in ZFC the existence of a definable, countably saturated elementary extension of the reals. It seems that it has been taken for granted that there is no distinguished, definable nonstandard model of the reals. (This means a…

We show that an inner model of a class-generic extension of L need not itself be such an extension. Our example is of the form L[R], where R is a real belonging to a class-generic extension of L and constructible from 0#.

Suppose that ${\mathcal M}$ is a model of PA and ${\mathcal N}$ is a countably generated elementary end extension of ${\mathcal M}$. Let ${\mathfrak X}$ be the set of subsets of M that are coded by ${\mathcal N}$. Then ${\mathcal M}$ has a…

Assuming that ORD is $\omega +\omega $-Erd\"os we show that if a class forcing amenable to $L$ (an $L$-forcing) has a generic then it has one definable in a set-generic extension of $L[O^\#]$. In fact we may choose such a generic to be {\it…

Given a cover $\mathbb{U}$ of a family of smooth complex algebraic varieties, we associate with it a class $\mathcal{U},$ containing $\mathbb{U}$, of structures locally definable in an o-minimal expansion of the reals. We prove that the…

We deal with stability theory for ``reasonable'' non-elementary classes without any remanents of compactness (like: above Hanf number or definable by L_{omega_1, omega}).

When classes of structures are not first-order definable, we might still try to find a nice description. There are two common ways for doing this. One is to expand the language, leading to notions of pseudo-elementary classes, and the other…

Let $G$ be a finite group of Lie type and $\ell$ be a prime which is not equal to the defining characteristic of $G$. In this note we discuss some open problems concerning the $\ell$-modular irreducible representations of $G$. We also…

We show that the set of algebraic extensions $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ in which $\mathbb{Z}$ or the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_F$ are definable is meager in the set of all algebraic extensions.

A definable pair of disjoint non-OD sets of reals (hence, indiscernible sets) exists in the Sacks and $E_0$-large generic extensions of the constructible universe $L$.

We completely characterize definable linear orders in o-minimal structures expanding groups. For example, let (P,<_p) be a linear order definable in the real field R. Then (P,<_p) embeds definably in (R^{n+1},<_l), where <_l is the…

A dichotomy for expansions of the real field is established: Either the set of integers is definable or every nonempty bounded nowhere dense definable subset of the real numbers has Minkowski dimension zero.

We describe a notion of categorical model for unitless fragments of (multiplicative) linear logic. The basic definition uses promonoidal categories, and we also give an equivalent elementary axiomatisation.

Suppose $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ is nowhere dense. If $(\mathbb{R},<,+,(x \mapsto \lambda x)_{\lambda \in \mathbb{R} }, E)$ does not define every bounded Borel subset of every $\mathbb{R}^n$ then for every $s > 0$ we have $$ | \{ k \in…

The assertion that every definable set has a definable element is equivalent over ZF to the principle $V=\text{HOD}$, and indeed, we prove, so is the assertion merely that every $\Pi_2$-definable set has an ordinal-definable element.…

We show that for $G$ a simple compact Lie group, the infinitesimal subgroup $G^{00}$ is bi-intepretable with a real closed valued field. We deduce that for $G$ an infinite definably compact group definable in an o-minimal expansion of a…
