Fix $\alpha \in (0,1/3)$. We show that, from a topological point of view, almost all sets $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ have the property that, if $A^\prime=A$ for all but $o(n^{\alpha})$ elements, then $A^\prime$ is not a nontrivial sumset…

We study isometric representations of the semigroup $\mathbb{Z}_+\backslash \{1\}$. Notion of an inverse representation is introduced and a complete description (up to unitary equivalence) of such representations is given. Also, we study a…

The first part of this article is devoted to characterizing the cocycles $\alpha$ of a finite group $G$ that give rise to faithful projective representations of $G$. We prove that a $p$-group $G$ admits a faithful irreducible projective…

We conjecture that it is not possible to finitely axiomatize matroid representability in monadic second-order logic for matroids, and we describe some partial progress towards this conjecture. We present a collection of sentences in monadic…

This paper proves that the equational theory of the class $RA_{\alpha}^{csp}$ of representable polyadic algebras is finitely axiomatizable over its substitution-free reduct $RA_{\alpha}^{cp}$, for finite $\alpha$. That is, substitutions of…

We call a poset factorable if its characteristic polynomial has all positive integer roots. Inspired by inductive and divisional freeness of a central hyperplane arrangement, we introduce and study the notion of inductive posets and their…

We answer an implicit question of Ian Hodkinson's. We show that atomic Pinters algebras may not be completely representable, however the class of completely representable Pinters algebras is elementary and finitely axiomatizable. We obtain…

It is elementary and well-known that if an element x of a bounded modular lattice L has a complement in L then x has a relative complement in every interval [a,b] containing x. We show that the relatively strong assumption of modularity of…

We classify globally irreducible representations of alternating groups and double covers of symmetric and alternating groups. In order to achieve this classification we also completely characterise irreducible representations of such groups…

In this paper we give characterizations of the super-stable theories, in terms of an external property called representation. In the sense of the representation property, the mentioned class of first-order theories can be regarded as "not…

Let $A$, $B$ be separable C*-algebras, $B$ stable. Elements of the E-theory group $E(A,B)$ are represented by asymptotic homomorphisms from the second suspension of $A$ to $B$. Our aim is to represent these elements by (families of) maps…

Relational semigroups with domain and range are a useful tool for modelling nondeterministic programs. We prove that the representation class of domain-range semigroups with demonic composition is not finitely axiomatisable. We extend the…

A poset $\mathbf{P} = (X,\preceq)$ is {\em $m$-partite} if $X$ has a partition $X = X_1 \cup ... \cup X_m$ such that (1) each $X_i$ forms an antichain in $\mathbf{P}$, and (2) $x\prec y$ implies $x\in X_i$ and $y\in X_j$ where $i<j$. In…

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 consider a possibly multiply connected bounded open subset $\Omega$ of ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ of class $C^{\max\{1,m\},\alpha}$ for some $m\in {\mathbb{N}}$, $\alpha\in]0,1[$ and we plan to solve both the Dirichlet and the Neumann problem for…

In order to study the axiomatization of the if-then-else construct over possibly non-halting programs and tests, this paper introduces the notion of $C$-sets by considering the tests from an abstract $C$-algebra. When the $C$-algebra is an…

We study inequalities between graded Betti numbers of ideals in a standard graded algebra over a field and their images under embedding maps, defined earlier by us in [Math. Z. 274, (2013), no. 3-4, pp. 809-819; arXiv:1009.4488]. We show…

Representable implication algebras are known to be axiomatised by a finite number of equations (making the representation and finite representation problems decidable here). We show that this also holds in the context of unary (and binary)…

The question of characterizing the (finite) representable relation algebras in a ``nice" way is open. The class $\mathbf{RRA}$ is known to be not finitely axiomatizable in first-order logic. Nevertheless, it is conjectured that ``almost…

In the paper, we investigate (scattered) compact spaces with a $P$-base for some poset $P$. More specifically, we prove that, under the assumption $\omega_1<\mathfrak{b}$, any compact space with an $\omega^\omega$-base is first-countable…
