We introduce the notion of strong $p$-semi-regularity and show that if $p$ is a regular type which is not locally modular then any $p$-semi-regular type is strongly $p$-semi-regular. Moreover, for any such $p$-semi-regular type, "domination…

We develop a framework, in the style of Adler, for interpreting the notion of "witnessing" that has appeared (usually as a variant of Kim's Lemma) in different areas of neostability theory as a binary relation between abstract independence…

In this work we study some examples of groups definable and type-definable in NSOP1 theories. We exhibit some behaviors of these groups that differ from the ones of simple groups. We take interest in the notions of generics and stabilizers,…

Let $p$ be a prime, $G$ a finite $\mathcal{K}_p$-group, $S$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ and $Q$ be a large subgroup of $G$ in $S$. The aim of the Local Structure Theorem is to provide structural information about subgroups $L$ with $S \leq…

We initiate the study of a generalization of Kim-independence, Conant-independence, based on the "strong Kim-dividing" of Kaplan, Ramsey and Shelah. We introduce an axiom on stationary independence relations essentially generalizing the…

Consider the expansion $T_S$ of a theory $T$ by a predicate for a submodel of a reduct $T_0$ of $T$. We present a setup in which this expansion admits a model companion $TS$. We show that the nice features of the theory $T$ transfer to…

We give three counterexamples to the folklore claim that in an arbitrary theory, if a complete type $p$ over a set $B$ does not divide over $C\subseteq B$, then no extension of $p$ to a complete type over $\text{acl}(B)$ divides over $C$.…

We give a category-theoretic construction of simple and NSOP$_1$-like independence relations in locally finitely presentable categories, and in the more general locally finitely multipresentable categories. We do so by identifying…

We prove group existence and structure theorems in a general setting of tame topological theories. More precisely, we identify a linear/non-linear dividing line -- called topological 1-basedness -- among the class of t-minimal theories with…

We show that approximations of strict order can calibrate the fine structure of genericity. Particularly, we find exponential behavior within the $\mathrm{NSOP}_{n}$ hierarchy from model theory. Let $0$-$\eth$-independence denote…

We prove the existence of a model companion of the two-sorted theory of $c$-nilpotent Lie algebras over a field satisfying a given theory of fields. We describe a language in which it admits relative quantifier elimination up to the field…

We initiate a systematic study of \emph{generic stability independence} and introduce the class of \emph{treeless theories} in which this notion of independence is particularly well-behaved. We show that the class of treeless theories…

Let K be an algebraically closed field. We prove that a polynomial K-derivation $D$ in two variables is locally nilpotent if and only if the subgroup of polynomial K-automorphisms which commute with D admits elements whose degree is…

We introduce some properties describing dependence in indiscernible sequences: $F_{ind}$ and its dual $F_{Mb}$, the definable Morley property, and $n$-resolvability. Applying these properties, we establish the following results: We show…

We study the generic theory of algebraically closed fields of fixed positive characteristic with a predicate for an additive subgroup, called $\mathrm{ACFG}$. This theory was introduced recently as a new example of $\mathrm{NSOP}_1$ non…

In the classification of complete first-order theories, many dividing lines have been defined in order to understand the complexity and the behavior of some classes of theories. In this paper, using the concept of patterns of consistency…

This paper provides a full characterization for when the expansion of a complete o-minimal theory by a unary predicate that picks out a divisible dense and codense subgroup has a model companion. This result is motivated by criteria and…

We observe that a simple condition suffices to describes non-forking independence over models in a stable theory. Under mild assumptions, this description can be extended to non-forking independence over algebraically closed subsets,…

Motivated by structural properties of differential field extensions, we introduce the notion of a theory $T$ being derivation-like with respect to another model complete theory $T_0$. We prove that when $T$ admits a model companion $T_+$,…
