A class K of structures is controlled if for all cardinals lambda, the relation of L_{infty,lambda}-equivalence partitions K into a set of equivalence classes (as opposed to a proper class). We prove that no pseudo-elementary class with 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…

The modular class of a regular foliation is a cohomological obstruction to the existence of a volume form transverse to the leaves which is invariant under the flow of the vector fields of the foliation. By drawing on the relationship…

Very flat and contradjusted modules naturally arise in algebraic geometry in the study of contraherent cosheaves over schemes. Here, we investigate the structure and approximation properties of these modules over commutative noetherian…

We show that a class of algebras is closed under the taking of homomorphic images and direct products if and only if the class consists of all algebras that satisfy a set of (generally simultaneous) equations. For classes of regular…

We define a class of inverse monoids having the property that their lattices of principal ideals naturally form an MV-algebra. We say that an arbitrary MV-algebra can be co-ordinatized if it is isomorphic to one constructed in this way from…

We show that the condition of being categorical in a tail of cardinals can be characterized algebraically for several classes of modules. $Theorem.$ Assume $R$ is an associative ring with unity. 1. The class of locally pure-injective…

Let A, B, S be categories, let F:A-->S and G:B-->S be functors. We assume that for "many" objects a in A, there exists an object b in B such that F(a) is isomorphic to G(b). We establish a general framework under which it is possible to…

Absolute algebras are a new type of algebraic structures, endowed with a meaningful notion of infinite sums of operations without supposing any underlying topology. Opposite to the usual definition of operadic calculus, they are defined as…

We give a new proof of the fact that finite bipartite graphs cannot be axiomatized by finitely many first-order sentences among FINITE graphs. (This fact is a consequence of a general theorem proved by L. Ham and M. Jackson, and the…

Let $(F,\le)$ be an ordered field and let $A,B$ be square matrices over $F$ of the same size. We say that $A$ and $B$ belong to the same archimedean class if there exists an integer $r$ such that the matrices $r A^T A-B^T B$ and $r B^T…

If $R$ is a semiartinian Von Neumann regular ring, then the set $\Prim_{R}$ of primitive ideals of $R$, ordered by inclusion, is an artinian poset in which all maximal chains have a greatest element. Moreover, if $\Prim_{R}$ has no infinite…

Semifields are semirings in which every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse. A rough classification uses the characteristic of the semifield, that is the isomorphism type of the semifield generated by the two neutral elements. For…

We develop square zero obstruction theory for modules over $\mathbb{E}_1$-algebras in an arbitrary stable (presentably) monoidal $\infty$-category. We explicitly describe the obstruction element as the homotopy class of a canonically…

Let D be a division ring such that the number of conjugacy classes in the multiplicative group D^* is equal to the power of D^*. Suppose that H(V) is the group GL(V) or PGL(V), where V is an infinite-dimensional vector space over D. We…

We denote by Conc(A) the semilattice of all finitely generated congruences of an (universal) algebra A, and we define Conc(V) as the class of all isomorphic copies of all Conc(A), for A in V, for any variety V of algebras. Let V and W be…

The main goal of this note is to suggest an algebraic approach to the quasi-isometric classification of partially commutative groups (alias right-angled Artin groups). More precisely, we conjecture that if the partially commutative groups…

We introduce the notions of pre-morphism and pre-derivation for arbitrary non-associative algebras over a commutative ring $k$ with identity. These notions are applied to the study of pre-Lie $k$-algebras and, more generally, Lie-admissible…

Replacing $\{0\}$ by the whole ideal of infinitesimals yields a weaker notion of \emph{archimedean element} that we call \emph{quasiarchimedean}. It is known that semisimple MV-algebras with compact maximal spectrum (in the co-Zarisky…

Let $G$ be a real centre-free semisimple Lie group without compact factors. I prove that irreducible lattices in $G$ are rigid under two types of sublinear distortions. The first result is that the class of lattices in groups that do not…
