We establish a categorical framework relating two canonical model constructions in first-order logic: the Henkin construction and compactness-based constructions via ultraproducts or saturation. By introducing a globally fixed set of Henkin…
We introduce the notion of pseudo-algebraicity to study atomic models of first order theories (equivalently models of a complete sentence of $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$. Theorem: Let $T$ be any complete first-order theory in a countable language…
Quasiminimal structures play an important role in non-elementary categoricity. In this paper we explore possibilities of constructing quasiminimal models of a given first-order theory. We present several constructions with increasing…
This paper develops a categorical framework to clarify the relationship between the completeness and compactness theorems in classical first-order logic. Rather than claiming that different model constructions yield naturally isomorphic…
We investigate the extent of second order characterizable structures by extending Shelah's Main Gap dichotomy to second order logic. For this end we consider a countable complete first order theory T. We show that all sufficiently large…
We give a general method for constructing examples of transcendental entire functions of given small order, which allows precise control over the size and shape of the set where the minimum modulus of the function is relatively large. Our…
The Szekeres family of inhomogeneous solutions, which are defined by six arbitrary metric functions, offers a wide range of possibilities for modelling cosmic structure. Here we present a model construction procedure for the quasispherical…
We study the smallest possible number of points in a topological space having k open sets. Equivalently, this is the smallest possible number of elements in a poset having k order ideals. Using efficient algorithms for constructing a…
Let $\Gamma$ be a totally ordered group. We use Hahn's embedding theorem to construct a totally ordered set $\Gamma\subset \Gamma_{\operatorname{sme}}$ which classifies small extensions of $\Gamma$. This small-extensions closure…
Soft materials (e.g., enveloped viruses, liposomes, membranes and supercooled liquids) simultaneously deform or display collective behaviors, while undergoing atomic scale vibrations and collisions. While the multiple space-time character…
We show that the intermittent dynamics observed in the inertial interval of Sabra shell model of turbulence can be rigorously related to the property of scaling self-similarity. In this connection, the space-time scaling symmetries (like in…
We present a method for constructing countable models of small theories and apply it to prove theorems on the maximal number of countable non-isomorphic models of linearly ordered theories.
It is shown, using a modification of an idea of Sen, that completely realistic supersymmetric grand-unified theories based on SU(6) or larger unitary groups can be constructed using the sliding-singlet mechanism. These models have a simple…
This work describes models and numerical approximations that describe the mechanical behavior of deformable continua with embedded structural members, such as rigid bodies, beams, shells, etc. The continuum formulation extends an idea first…
The hydrogen atom is investigated, within a pseudo-complex extension of the coordinates and momenta, which introduces a minimal length scale (l) and results into a non-commutative Quantum Mechanics. After resuming the pseudo-complex…
We construct a model category (in the sense of Quillen) for set theory, starting from two arbitrary, but natural, conventions. It is the simplest category satisfying our conventions and modelling the notions of finiteness, countability and…
There are several known constructions of equilibrium states for H\"older continuous potentials in the context of both subshifts of finite type and uniformly hyperbolic systems. In this article we present another method of building such…
A brief overview is given of the Continuum Shell Model, a novel approach that extends the traditional nuclear shell model into the domain of unstable nuclei and nuclear reactions. While some of the theoretical aspects, such as role and…
We study the structural regularities and irregularities of the reals in inner models of set theory. Starting with $L$, G\"{o}del's constructible universe, our study of the reals is thus two-fold. On the one hand, we study how their…
This paper unifies problems and results related to (embedding) universal and homomorphism universal structures. On the one side we give a new combinatorial proof of the existence of universal objects for homomorphism defined classes of…
