Notions of freedom and independence for hypergraphs of models of a theory are defined. Properties of these notions and their applications to some natural classes of theories are studied.
We study line patterns in a free group by considering the topology of the decomposition space, a quotient of the boundary at infinity of the free group related to the line pattern. We show that the group of quasi-isometries preserving a…
We prove that the common theory of nonabelian free groups has the dimensional order property, or DOP, implying, for example, that there is no reasonable structure theorem for $\aleph_1$-saturated models of this theory.
We present an effective algorithm for detecting automorphic orbits in free groups, as well as a number of algorithmic improvements of train tracks for free group automorphisms.
In random cellular systems, both observation and maximum entropy inference give a specific form to the topological pair correlation: it is bi-affine in the cells number of edges with coefficients depending on the distance between the two…
The purpose of this note is to start the systematic analysis of cofinal types of topological groups.
An approach to identify the normal subgroups determined by ideals in free group rings with the help of the derived functors of non-additive functors is explored. A similar approach, i.e., via derived functors, for computing limits of…
This arXived paper has two independant parts, that are improved and corrected versions of different parts of a single paper once named "On equations in relatively hyperbolic groups". The first part is entitled "Existential questions in…
This paper presents the foundation for a decomposition theory for Boolean networks, a type of discrete dynamical system that has found a wide range of applications in the life sciences, engineering, and physics. Given a Boolean network…
We survey the theory of totally symmetric sets, with applications to homomorphisms of symmetric groups, braid groups, linear groups, and mapping class groups.
This text, Chapter 23 in the "AutoMathA" handbook, is devoted to the study of rational subsets of groups, with particular emphasis on the automata-theoretic approach to finitely generated subgroups of free groups. Indeed, Stallings'…
In this note, we provide a different proof of Hill's criterion of freeness for abelian groups. Our proof hinges on the construction of suitable families of subgroups of the links in Hill's theorem and, ultimately, on the construction of…
We study the stability of orbits in large Boolean networks with given complex topology. We impose no restrictions on the form of the update rules, which may be correlated with local topological properties of the network. While recent past…
The topology of orientable (2 + 1)d spacetimes can be captured by certain lumps of non-trivial topology called topological geons. They are the topological analogues of conventional solitons. We give a description of topological geons where…
In answer to a question of A. Blass, J. Irwin and G. Schlitt, a subgroup G of the additive group Z^{\omega} is constructed whose dual, Hom(G,Z), is free abelian of rank 2^{\aleph_0}. The question of whether Z^{\omega} has subgroups whose…
As more of topology's tools become popular in analyzing high dimensional data sets, the goal of understanding the underlying probabilistic properties of these tools becomes even more important. While much attention has been given to…
Compact locally maximal hyperbolic sets are studied via geometrically defined functional spaces that take advantage of the smoothness of the map in a neighborhood of the hyperbolic set. This provides a self-contained theory that not only…
In this paper we characterize [strict] o-boundedness of the free (abelian) topological group F(X) (A(X)) as well as the free locally-convex linear topological space L(X) in terms of properties of a Tychonoff space X. These properties appear…
When does Borel's theorem on free subgroups of semisimple groups generalize to other groups? We initiate a systematic study of this question and find positive and negative answers for it. In particular, we fully classify fundamental groups…
Free groups are known to be homogeneous, meaning that finite tuples of elements which satisfy the same first-order properties are in the same orbit under the action of the automorphism group. We show that virtually free groups have a…
