Let $M$ be a free module of rank $m$ over a commutative unital ring $R$ and let $N$ be its free submodule. We consider the problem when a given element of the exterior product $\Lambda^pM$ is divisible, in a sense, over elements of the…

Mitsch's natural partial order on the semigroup of binary relations is here characterised by equations in the theory of relation algebras. The natural partial order has a complex relationship with the compatible partial order of inclusion,…

We study completely syndetic (CS) sets in discrete groups - subsets that for every natural n admit finitely many left translates that jointly cover every n-tuple of group elements. While for finitely-generated groups, the non-virtually…

We carry out a systematic, topos-theoretically inspired, investigation of Wallman compactifications with a particular emphasis on their relations with Gelfand spectra and Stone-Cech compactifications. In addition to proving several specific…

This article aims to obtain a characterization of the canonical extension of Boolean homomorphisms through the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification. Then, we will show that one-to-one homomorphisms and onto homomorphisms extend to one-to-one…

We consider three notions of divisibility in the Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra, and show how they reflect properties of the C*-algebra. We develop methods to construct (simple and non-simple) C*-algebras with specific divisibility…

Our purpose is to study in the setting of locally compact groupoids the analogues of the well-known equivalent definitions of exactness for discrete groups. Our best results are obtained for a class of \'etale groupoids that we call inner…

The number of subgroups and the number of cyclic subgroups are natural combinatorial invariants of a finite group. We investigate how restrictions on these quantities, together with the number of distinct prime divisors of $|G|$, enforce…

The paper studies computability-theoretic aspects of topological $T_0$-spaces. We introduce effective versions of the notions of a countable $c$-poset and a (second-countable) topological space with base. Based on this, we prove an…

We define the notion of componentwise regularity and study some of its basic properties. We prove an analogue, when working with weight orders, of Buchberger's criterion to compute Gr\"obner bases; the proof of our criterion relies on a…

Assuming $\mathfrak b = \mathfrak c$ (or some weaker statement), we construct a compactification $\gamma\omega$ of $\omega$ such that its remainder $\gamma\omega\setminus\omega$ is nonseparable and carries a strictly positive measure.

The set splittability problem is the following: given a finite collection of finite sets, does there exits a single set that contains exactly half the elements from each set in the collection? (If a set has odd size, we allow the floor or…

We describe a partial order on finite simplicial complexes. This partial order provides a poset stratification of the product of the Ran space of a metric space and the nonnegative real numbers, through the \v Cech simplicial complex. We…

We describe a natural generalization of irreducibility in order lattices with arbitrary metrics. We analyse the special cases of valuation metrics and more general metrics for lattices. This article is mainly based on a part of the author's…

In [Decompositions and statistics for \beta(1,0)-trees and nonseparable permutations, Advances Appl. Math. 42 (2009) 313--328] we introduced an involution, h, on \beta(1,0)-trees. We neglected, however, to prove that h indeed is an…

In [arXiv:1006.4939] the enumeration order reducibility is defined on natural numbers. For a c.e. set A, [A] denoted the class of all subsets of natural numbers which are co-order with A. In definition 5 we redefine co-ordering for rational…

We formalize an existing computability-theoretic method of presenting first-order structures whose domains have the cardinality of the continuum. Work using these methods until now has emphasized their topological properties. We shift the…

Let $G$ be a group, $\beta G$ is the Stone-$\check{C}$ech compactification of $\beta G$ endowed with the structure of a right topological semigroup, $G^*=\beta G\setminus G$. Given any subset $A$ of $G$ and $p\in G^*$, we define the…

Let $k$ be a number field, let ${\mathcal{A}}$ be a commutative algebraic group defined over $k$ and let $p$ be a prime number. Let ${\mathcal{A}}[p]$ denote the $p$-torsion subgroup of ${\mathcal{A}}$. We give some sufficient conditions…

The finite satisfiability problem of monadic second order logic is decidable only on classes of structures of bounded tree-width by the classic result of Seese (1991). We prove the following problem is decidable: Input: (i) A monadic second…
