The paper is devoted to modal properties of the ternary strict betweenness relation as used in the development of various systems of geometry. We show that such a relation is non-definable in a basic similarity type with a binary operator…
Showing that the Ramsey property holds for a class of finite structures can be an extremely challenging task and a slew of sophisticated methods have been proposed in literature. In this paper we propose a new strategy to show that a class…
We prove that a set of finite perimeter is indecomposable if and only if it is, up to a choice of suitable representative, connected in the 1-fine topology. This gives a topological characterization of indecomposability which is new even in…
The first-order theory of the automorphism group of an infinite resplendent model in a finite language is undecidable.
We prove that the universal theory and the quasi-equational theory of bounded residuated distributive lattice-orderegroupoids are both EXPTIME-complete. Similar results areproven for bounded distributive lattices with a unary or binary…
Let $T$ be a countable complete first-order theory with a definable, infinite, discrete linear order. We prove that $T$ has continuum-many countable models. The proof is purely first-order, but raises the question of Borel completeness of…
In the [BCS] paper the theory of superconductivity was developed for the BCS model, in which the (instantaneous) interaction is only between fermions of opposite momentum and spin. Such model was analyzed by variational methods, finding…
We study word structures of the form $(D,<,P)$ where $D$ is either $\mathbb{N}$ or $\mathbb{Z}$, $<$ is the natural linear ordering on $D$ and $P\subseteq D$ is a predicate on $D$. In particular we show: (a) The set of recursive…
We study the implications of model completeness of a theory for the effectiveness of presentations of models of that theory. It is immediate that for a computable model $\mathcal A$ of a computably enumerable, model complete theory, the…
Solution sets of systems of homogeneous linear equations over fields are characterized as being subspaces, i.e., sets that are closed under linear combinations. Our goal is to characterize solution sets of systems of equations over…
We define the continuous modeling property for first-order structures and show that a first-order structure has the continuous modelling property if and only if its age has the embedding Ramsey property. We use generalized indiscernible…
We prove that bounded conciseness is a closed property in the space of marked groups. As a consequence, we reformulate a conjecture of Fern\'andez-Alcober and Shumyatsky [7] about conciseness in the class of residually finite groups.
Characterizations of finite sequences $\beta_{1}<\cdots<\beta_{n}$ representing expected values of order statistics from a random sample of size $n$ are given. As a by-product, a characterization of binomial mixtures, when the mixing random…
The paper proves finite model property and decidability for a family of modal logics. A binary relation $R$ is called pretransitive, if $R^*=\cup_{i\leq m} R^i$ for some $m\geq 0$, where $R^*$ is the transitive reflexive closure of $R$. By…
By operations on models we show how to relate completeness with respect to permissive-nominal models to completeness with respect to nominal models with finite support. Models with finite support are a special case of permissive-nominal…
In this paper we discuss the properties of the biordered set obtained from a complemented modular lattice and defines an operation using the sandwich elements of the biordered set. Further we describe a biordered subset satisfying certain…
The main result of this paper is to prove the existence of a finite basis in the description logic ${\cal ALC}$. We show that the set of General Concept Inclusions (GCIs) holding in a finite model has always a finite basis, i.e. these GCIs…
We associate bicomplexes with the finite Toda lattice and with a finite Toda field theory in such a way that conserved currents and charges are obtained by a simple iterative construction.
We prove that the genus of a finite-dimensional division algebra is finite whenever the center is a finitely generated field of any characteristic. We also discuss potential applications of our method to other problems, including the…
Meet-distributive lattices form an intriguing class of lattices, because they are precisely the lattices obtainable from a closure operator with the so-called anti-exchange property. Moreover, meet-distributive lattices are join…
