This paper gives a classification of classes of discrete dynamical systems (a set equipped with an endofunction) closed under finite limits and small colimits. The conclusion is simple: they bijectively correspond to the ideals of the…
We identify a canonical structure J associated to any first-order theory, the {\it space of definability patterns}. It generalizes the imaginary algebraic closure in a stable theory, and the hyperimaginary bounded closure in simple…
In this paper we introduce a class of mathematical objects called \emph{extensors} and develop some aspects of their theory with considerable detail. We give special names to several particular but important cases of extensors. The…
We study abstract elementary classes (AECs) that, in $\aleph_0$, have amalgamation, joint embedding, no maximal models and are stable (in terms of the number of orbital types). Assuming a locality property for types, we prove that such…
In this note we show how two fundamental results in Topos theory follow by repeated use of Yoneda's Lemma, the formalism of natural transformations and very basic category theory. In Lemma 9.4, we show the fundamental result SGA4 EXPOSE IV…
In the affine fragment of continuous logic, type spaces are compact convex sets. I study some model theoretic properties of extreme types. It is proved that every complete theory $T$ has an extremal model, i.e. a model which realizes only…
We characterise proper morphisms of $\infty$-topoi in terms of a relativised notion of compactness: we show that a geometric morphism of $\infty$-topoi is proper if and only if it commutes with colimits indexed by filtered internal…
We introduce a very natural topology on the set of total orderings of monomials of any algebra having a countable basis over a field. This topological space and some notable subspaces are compact. This topological framework allows us to…
A quick overview of category theory and topos theory including slice categories, monics, epics, isos, diagrams, cones, cocones, limits, colimits, products and coproducts, pushouts and pullbacks, equalizers and coequalizers, initial and…
For every $p\in(1,\infty)$ there is a natural notion of topological degree for maps in $W^{1/p,p}({\mathbb S}^1;{\mathbb S}^1)$ which allows us to write that space as a disjoint union of classes, $W^{1/p,p}({\mathbb S}^1;{\mathbb…
We show that the Yoneda embedding extends to an $(\infty,2)$-natural transformation. Furthermore, as such, it is uniquely determined by its value at the trivial $\infty$-category. We also study the naturality of the Yoneda lemma in its…
We introduce a general notion of flabby objects in elementary toposes and study their basic properties. In the special case of localic toposes, this notion reduces to the common notion of flabby sheaves, yielding a site-independent…
We present a new topological proof of the infinitude of prime numbers with a new topology. Furthermore, in this topology, we characterize the infinitude of any non-empty subset of prime numbers.
In a coherent category, the posets of subobjects have very strong properties. We emphasize the validity of these properties, in general categories, for well-behaved classes of subobjects. As an example of application, we investigate the…
We obtain a complete characterization of \emph{topologically exact patterns} on \emph{triods}. Based on their \emph{rotation number} $\rho$, these \emph{exact patterns} are grouped into three classes: \emph{slow} ($\rho < \frac{1}{3}$),…
We extend the notion of exact completion on a weakly lex category to elementary doctrines. We show how any such doctrine admits an elementary quotient completion, which freely adds effective quotients and extensional equality. We note that…
Some aspects of basic category theory are developed in a finitely complete category $\C$, endowed with two factorization systems which determine the same discrete objects and are linked by a simple reciprocal stability law. Resting on this…
We investigate $(0,1)$-matrices that are {\em convex}, which means that the ones are consecutive in every row and column. These matrices occur in discrete tomography. The notion of ranked essential sets, known for permutation matrices, is…
The purpose of this writing is to show that, if we use the definition of elementary $\infty$-topos that has been proposed by Mike Shulman, then the fact that every geometric $\infty$-topos satisfies the required axioms, more specifically…
In a previous work, Bettin, Koukoulopoulos, and Sanna prove that if two sets of natural numbers $A$ and $B$ have natural density $1$, then their product set $A \cdot B := \{ab : a \in A, b \in B\}$ also has natural density $1$. They also…
