A topological space is reversible if each continuous bijection of it onto itself is open. We introduce an analogue of this notion in the category of topological groups: A topological group G is g-reversible if every continuous automorphism…
Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over $\mathbb C$, $B$ a fixed Borel subgroup, $P$ a parabolic subgroup, $P'$ its derived group acting on the Lie algebra $\mathfrak m$ of its nilradical. The nilfibre $\mathscr N$ is the zero locus of the…
An element $g$ of a group is called {\em reversible} if it is conjugate in the group to its inverse. This paper is about reversibles in the group $G$ of formally-invertible pairs of formal power series in two variables, with complex…
Suppose lambda is a singular cardinal of uncountable cofinality kappa. For a model M of cardinality lambda, let No(M) denote the number of isomorphism types of models N of cardinality lambda which are L_{infty lambda}-equivalent to M. In…
For a topologically complete space $X$ and a family of closed covers $\mathcal A$ of $X$ satisfying a "local refinement condition" and a "completeness condition," we give a construction of an inverse system $\mathbf{ N}_{\mathcal A}$ of…
Given an arbitrary measurable cardinal $\kappa$, a nondiscrete Hausdorff extremally disconnected topological group of cardinality $\kappa$ is constructed.
We combine several folklore observations to provide a working framework for iterating constructions which contradict the axiom of choice. We use this to define a model in which any kind of structural failure must fail with a proper class of…
In the several contexts such as combinatorial number theory, families of sets of positive integers closed under taking subsets have been investigated. Then it is sometimes useful to give bijections between the set of the one-sided infinite…
We study Structural Reflection beyond Vop\v{e}nka's Principle, at the level of almost-huge cardinals and higher, up to rank-into-rank embeddings. We identify and classify new large cardinal notions in that region that correspond to some…
We study the possible structures which can be carried by sets which have no countable subset, but which fail to be `surjectively Dedekind finite', in two possible senses, that there is a surjection to $\omega$, or alternatively, that there…
A relational structure is homomorphism-homogeneous if every homomorphism between finite substructures extends to an endomorphism of the structure. This notion was introduced recently by Cameron and Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il. In this paper we…
Working with uncountable structures of fixed cardinality, we investigate the complexity of certain equivalence relations and show that if V = L, then many of them are \Sigma^1_1-complete, in particular the isomorphism relation of dense…
We investigate the partial orderings of the form (P(X),\subset), where X is a relational structure and P(X) the set of the domains of its isomorphic substructures. A rough classification of countable binary structures corresponding to the…
The poset of copies of a relational structure ${\mathbb X}$ is the partial order ${\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X} ) := \langle \{ Y \subset X: {\mathbb Y} \cong {\mathbb X}\}, \subset \rangle$ and each similarity of such posets (e.g. isomorphism,…
For an algebraic stack $\sX$ flat and of finite presentation over a scheme $S$, we introduce various notions of {\em relative connected components} and {\em relative irreducible components}. The main distinction between these notions is…
If $\rho$ is a binary relation on a set $X$, the structure ${\mathbb X}=\langle X,\rho\rangle$ is connected iff the minimal equivalence relation containing $\rho$ is the full relation on $X$. We show that, for a set $I$ the following…
Let PL+(S1) be the group of order preserving piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the circle. An element in PL+(S1) is called reversible in PL+(S1) if it is conjugate to its inverse in PL+(S1). We characterize the reversible elements in…
Given integers $\Delta\ge 2$ and $t\ge 2\Delta$, suppose there is a graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ and a partition of its vertices into blocks of size at least $t$. By a seminal result of Haxell, there must be some independent set of the…
We consider the space of countable structures with fixed underlying set in a given countable language. We show that the number of ergodic probability measures on this space that are $S_\infty$-invariant and concentrated on a single…
We prove that, unless assuming additional set theoretical axioms, there are no reflexive space without unconditional sequences of density the continuum. We give for every integer $n$ there are normalized weakly-null sequences of length…
