We give model theoretic criteria for $\exists \forall$ and $\forall \exists$- formulas in the ring language to define uniformly the valuation rings $\mathcal{O}$ of models $(K, \mathcal{O})$ of an elementary theory $\Sigma$ of henselian…

For a measurable space ($X,\mathcal{A}$), let $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A})$ be the corresponding ring of all real valued measurable functions and let $\mu$ be a measure on ($X,\mathcal{A}$). In this paper, we generalize the so-called…

A commutative ring R is said to be coverable if it is the union of its proper subrings and said to be finitely coverable if it is the union of a finite number of them. In the latter case, we denote by {\sigma}(R) the minimal number of…

We show that, for a certain large class of power-bounded $o$-minimal $\mathcal{L}_T$-theories $T$ whose field of exponents is infinite-dimensional as a vector space over the rationals, any definable set in a $T$-convex valued field…

If there is a topologically locally constant family of smooth algebraic varieties together with an admissible normal function on the total space, then the latter is constant on any fiber if this holds on some fiber. Combined with spreading…

A class of integer-valued functions defined on the set of ideals of an integral domain $R$ is investigated. We show that this class of functions, which we call ideal valuations, are in one-to-one correspondence with countable descending…

We show pro-definability of spaces of definable types in various classical complete first order theories, including complete o-minimal theories, Presburger arithmetic, $p$-adically closed fields, real closed and algebraically closed valued…

We describe the supports of a class of real-valued maps on $C*(X)$ introduced by Radul. Using this description, a characterization of compact-valued retracts of a given space in terms of functional extenders is obtained. For example, if…

Let $\mathcal{O}(U)$ denote the algebra of holomorphic functions on an open subset $U\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ and $Z\subset\mathcal{O}(U)$ its finite-dimensional vector subspace. By the theory of least space of de Boor and Ron, there exists a…

In this paper, we present several definitive characterizations of the $C^1$ smoothness of definable sets in terms of their tangent cones and some other metric properties. In particular, we recover some of the beautiful characterizations…

We prove that a function definable with parameters in an o-minimal structure is bounded away from infinity as its argument goes to infinity by a function definable without parameters, and that this new function can be chosen independently…

It is well known that for a non pseudocompact space X, the family (X) of all intermediate subrings of C(X) which contain bounded real valued continuous functions contains at least 2c many distinct rings. We show that if in addition X is…

The set of open subsets in a proximity space (X,{\zeta}) forms a topological system that enables the definition of proximal and descriptive topological groups. This framework naturally extends to proximal and descriptive topological rings…

We develop a sequential-topological study of rational points of schemes of finite type over local rings typical in higher dimensional number theory and algebraic geometry. These rings are certain types of multidimensional complete fields…

We prove that infinite p-adically discrete sets have Diophantine definitions in large subrings of some number fields. First, if K is a totally real number field or a totally complex degree-2 extension of a totally real number field, then…

For any subset $Z \subseteq \mathbb{Q}$, consider the set $S_Z$ of subfields $L\subseteq \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ which contain a co-infinite subset $C \subseteq L$ that is universally definable in $L$ such that $C \cap \mathbb{Q}=Z$. Placing…

A computable ring is a ring equipped with mechanical procedure to add and multiply elements. In most natural computable integral domains, there is a computational procedure to determine if a given element is prime/irreducible. However,…

Let $X$ be a zero-dimensional space and $C_c(X)$ be the set of all continuous real valued functions on $X$ with countable image. In this article we denote by $C_c^K(X)$ (resp., $C_{c}^{\psi}(X)$) the set of all functions in $C_c(X)$ with…

We study functions from a unique factorization monoid to a field. The set of all such functions is a commutative ring isomorphic to a ring of formal power series over the field, with indeterminates indexed by the prime elements of the…

Let $\mathcal{R}$ be an expansion of the ordered real additive group. When $\mathcal{R}$ is o-minimal, it is known that either $\mathcal{R}$ defines an ordered field isomorphic to $(\mathbb{R},<,+,\cdot)$ on some open subinterval…
