It is an open problem of Mazari-Armida whether every abstract elementary class of $R$-modules $(\mathbf{K}, \leq_{\mathrm{pure}})$, with $\leq_{\mathrm{pure}}$ the pure submodule relation, is stable. We answer this question in the negative…

We show that certain classes of modules have universal models with respect to pure embeddings. $Theorem.$ Let $R$ be a ring, $T$ a first-order theory with an infinite model extending the theory of $R$-modules and $K^T=(Mod(T), \leq_{pp})$…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ and let $G$ be a finite group. Given a $G$-Galois $K$-algebra $K_h$, let $\mathcal{O}_h$ denote its ring of integers. If $K_h/K$ is tame, then a classical theorem of E. Noether…

A new case of Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture is established: $\mathbf{Theorem}$ Let $K$ be an AEC with amalgamation. Write $H_2 := \beth_{\left(2^{\beth_{\left(2^{\text{LS} (K)}\right)^+}}\right)^+}$. Assume that $K$ is…

We prove that every abstract elementary class (a.e.c.) with LST number $\kappa$ and vocabulary $\tau$ of cardinality $\leq \kappa$ can be axiomatized in the logic ${\mathbb L}_{\beth_2(\kappa)^{+++},\kappa^+}(\tau)$. In this logic an a.e.c.…

In [Sh E46], Shelah obtained a non-forking relation for an AEC, (K,\preceq), with LST-number at most \lambda, which is categorical in \lambda and \lambda^+ and has less than 2^{\lambda^+} models of cardinality \lambda^{++}, but at least…

We try to build, provably in ZFC, for a first order T a model in which any isomorphism between two Boolean algebras is definable. The problem, compared to [Sh:384], is with pseudo-finite Boolean algebras. A side benefit is that we do not…

The disjoint amalgamation property (DAP), which asserts that all spans of a class of models can be amalgamated with minimal intersection, is an important property in the context of abstract elementary classes, with connections to both…

Let K be an abstract elementary class of models. Assume that there are less than the maximal number of models in K_{\lambda^{+n}} (namely models in K of power \lambda^{+n}) for all n. We provide conditions on K_\lambda, that imply the…

Tame abstract elementary classes are a broad nonelementary framework for model theory that encompasses several examples of interest. In recent years, progress toward developing a classification theory for them have been made. Abstract…

We find the model completion of the theory modules over $A$, where $A$ is a finitely generated commutative algebra over a field $K$. This is done in a context where the field $K$ and the module are represented by sorts in the theory, so…

We investigate properties of the formula $p \to \Box p$ in the basic modal logic K. We show that K satisfies an infinitary weaker variant of the rule of margins $\phi \to \Box\phi / \phi, \neg\phi$, and as a consequence, we obtain various…

We develop some basic results about full amalgamation classes with intrinsic trascendentals. These classes have generics whose models may have finite subsets whose intrinsic closure is not contained in its algebraic closure. We will show…

We study the spectrum of limit models assuming the existence of a nicely behaved independence notion. Under reasonable assumptions, we show that all `long' limit models are isomorphic, and all `short' limit models are non-isomorphic.…

A definition of summability is put forward in the framework of general Carleman ultraholomorphic classes in sectors, so generalizing $k-$summability theory as developed by J.-P. Ramis. Departing from a strongly regular sequence of positive…

This paper justifies an assertion in (Elder, Proc AMS 137 (2009), no 4, 1193--1203) that Galois scaffolds make the questions of Galois module structure tractable. Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$ and let $K=k((T))$. For the…

We prove that for lambda = beta_omega or just lambda strong limit singular of cofinality aleph_0, if there is a universal member in the class K^lf_lambda of locally finite groups of cardinality lambda, then there is a canonical one…

We generalize the Hart-Shelah example \cite{HaSh:323} to higher infinitary logics. We build, for each natural number $k\geq 2$ and for each infinite cardinal $\lambda$, a sentence $\psi_k^\lambda$ of the logic $L_{(2^\lambda)^+,\omega}$…

For an ordinal $\lambda>0$, we use the Erd\H{o}s--Rado partition theorem to prove the failure of strong completeness of $\mathsf{GL}$ for modal languages of cardinality $(2^{|\lambda|+\aleph_0})^{+}$ with respect to models on ordinals…

We are interested in examples of a.e.c. with amalgamation having some (extreme) behaviour concerning types. Note we deal with k being sequence-local, i.e. local for increasing chains of length a regular cardinal (for types, equality of all…
