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…

To a definable subset of Z_p^n (or to a scheme of finite type over Z_p) one can associate a tree in a natural way. It is known that the corresponding Poincare series P(X) = \sum_i N_i X^i is rational, where N_i is the number of nodes of the…

Statistical linearization has recently seen a particular surge of interest as a numerically cheap method for robust control of stochastic differential equations. Although it has already been successfully applied to control complex…

In the present paper our main objective is to extend the notion of $D$-sets in countable amenable groups and to discuss its connection with weak mixing for amenable group actions. Further we prove that *-notions are equivalent in the…

A framework to handle tree decompositions of the components of a Borel graph in a Borel fashion is introduced, along the lines of Tserunyan's Stallings Theorem for equivalence relations arXiv:1805.09506. This setting leads to a notion of…

In this paper, a group is called weakly amenable if its left regular representation is not uniformly isolated from the trivial representation. First examples of finitely generated non-amenable weakly amenable groups are constructed.

We give a characterization of the sets of graphs that are both definable in Counting Monadic Second Order Logic (CMSO) and context-free, i.e., least solutions of Hyperedge-Replacement (HR) grammars introduced by Courcelle and Engelfriet. We…

The aim of the paper is to give a full classification of factorizations of groups in terms of descent cohomology (pointed) sets introduced in [5]. We show that descent cohomology includes Serre's non-abelian group cohomology as a special…

We introduce the notion of first order amenability, as a property of a first order theory $T$: every complete type over $\emptyset$, in possibly infinitely many variables, extends to an automorphism-invariant global Keisler measure in the…

We study measurable dependence of measures on a parameter in the following two classical problems: constructing conditional measures and the Kantorovich optimal transportation. We obtain broad sufficient conditions for the existence of…

A theory of matchings for finite subsets of an abelian group, introduced in connection with a conjecture of Wakeford on canonical forms for homogeneous polynomials, has since been extended to the setting of field extensions and to that of…

A semigroup is \emph{amiable} if there is exactly one idempotent in each $\mathcal{R}^*$-class and in each $\mathcal{L}^*$-class. A semigroup is \emph{adequate} if it is amiable and if its idempotents commute. We characterize adequate…

The notion of bounded expansion captures uniform sparsity of graph classes and renders various algorithmic problems that are hard in general tractable. In particular, the model-checking problem for first-order logic is fixed-parameter…
