If $L$ is a relational language, then an $L$-structure ${\mathbb X}=\langle X,\bar \rho \rangle$ is reversible iff there is no interpretation $\bar \sigma \varsubsetneq \bar \rho$ such that the structures $\langle X,\bar \sigma \rangle$ and…

A relational structure $\mathbb{X}$ is called reversible iff each bijective homomorphism from $\mathbb{X}$ onto $\mathbb{X}$ is an isomorphism, and linear orders are prototypical examples of such structures. One way to detect new reversible…

A relational structure is called reversible iff every bijective endomorphism of that structure is an automorphism. We give several equivalents of that property in the class of disconnected binary structures and some its subclasses. For…

A relational structure ${\mathbb X}$ is said to be reversible iff every bijective endomorphism $f:X\rightarrow X$ is an automorphism. We define a sequence of non-zero cardinals $\langle \kappa_i :i\in I\rangle$ to be reversible iff each…

A poset ${\mathbb{P}}$ is called reversible iff every bijective homomorphism $f:{\mathbb{P}} \rightarrow {\mathbb{P}}$ is an automorphism. Let ${\mathcal{W}}$ and ${\mathcal{W}} ^*$ denote the classes of well orders and their inverses…

A topological space ${\mathcal X}$ is reversible iff each continuous bijection (condensation) $f: {\mathcal X} \rightarrow {\mathcal X}$ is a homeomorphism; weakly reversible iff whenever ${\mathcal Y}$ is a space and there are…

The countable condensation on a linear order $L$ is the equivalence relation $\sim_\omega$ defined by declaring $x \sim_\omega y$ when the set of points between $x$ and $y$ is countable. We characterize the linear orders $L$ that condense…

We study the partial orderings of the form $\langle {\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}), \subset \rangle $, where ${\mathbb X}$ is a binary relational structure with the connectivity components isomorphic to a strongly connected structure ${\mathbb…

A finite relational structure A is called compact if for any infinite relational structure B of the same type, the existence of a homomorphism from B to A is equivalent to the existence of homomorphisms from all finite substructures of B to…

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,…

We generalize the lexicographic product of first-order structures by presenting a framework for constructions which, in a sense, mimic iterating the lexicographic product infinitely and not necessarily countably many times. We then define…

We prove that topological isomorphism on procountable groups is not classifiable by countable structures, in the sense of descriptive set theory. In fact, the equivalence relation $\ell_\infty$ expressing that two sequences of reals have a…

The main result of this article is: THEOREM. Every homogeneous locally conical connected separable metric space that is not a $1$-manifold is strongly $n$-homogeneous for each $n \geq 2$ and countable dense homogeneous. Furthermore,…

We prove that if $G$ and $H$ are $\alpha$-back-and-forth equivalent groups (in the sense of computable structure theory) for some ordinal $\alpha \geq \omega$, then their group von Neumann algebras $L(G)$ and $L(H)$ are also…

Let $F_{\omega_1}$ be the countable admissible ordinal equivalence relation defined on ${}^\omega 2$ by $x \ F_{\omega_1} \ y$ if and only if $\omega_1^x = \omega_1^y$. It will be shown that $F_{\omega_1}$ is classifiable by countable…

Louveau and Rosendal [5] have shown that the relation of bi-embeddability for countable graphs as well as for many other natural classes of countable structures is complete under Borel reducibility for analytic equivalence relations. This…

We relate the existence problem of universal objects to the properties of corresponding enriched categories (lifts or expansions). In particular, extending earlier results, we prove that for every (possibly infinite) regular set F of finite…

We show that when certain statements are provable in subsystems of constructive analysis using intuitionistic predicate calculus, related sequential statements are provable in weak classical subsystems. In particular, if a $\Pi^1_2$…

The poset of copies of a relational structure ${\mathbb X}$ is the partial order $\langle {\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}) ,\subset \rangle$, where ${\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X})=\{ Y\subset X: {\mathbb Y} \cong {\mathbb X}\}$. Investigating the…

We continue the work of [1, 2, 3] by analyzing the equivalence relation of bi-embeddability on various classes of countable planes, most notably the class of countable non-Desarguesian projective planes. We use constructions of the second…
