We investigate tensor products of random matrices, and show that independence of entries leads asymptotically to $\varepsilon$-free independence, a mixture of classical and free independence studied by M{\l}otkowski and by Speicher and…
Identifying dependency between two random variables is a fundamental problem. The clear interpretability and ability of a procedure to provide information on the form of possible dependence is particularly important when exploring…
Ramsey's theorem for $n$-tuples and $k$-colors ($\mathsf{RT}^n_k$) asserts that every k-coloring of $[\mathbb{N}]^n$ admits an infinite monochromatic subset. We study the proof-theoretic strength of Ramsey's theorem for pairs and two…
This is a study of S. Kripke's notion of fulfilment. Motivated by Paris-Harrington statement, Kripke was looking for a proof of G\"odel's Incompleteness Theorem which was model-theoretic, natural (without self-reference), and easy.…
A lattice-theoretic framework is introduced that permits the study of the conditional independence (CI) implication problem relative to the class of discrete probability measures. Semi-lattices are associated with CI statements and a…

Model checking for Halpern and Shoham's interval temporal logic HS has been recently investigated in a systematic way, and it is known to be decidable under three distinct semantics. Here, we focus on the trace-based semantics, where the…
We consider the restriction of Ramsey's theorem that arises from considering only translation-invariant colourings of pairs, and show that this has the same strength (both from the viewpoint of Reverse Mathematics and from the viewpoint of…
We study finite $l$-colourable structures with an underlying pregeometry. The probability measure that is used corresponds to a process of generating such structures (with a given underlying pregeometry) by which colours are first randomly…
We conduct a computability-theoretic study of Ramsey-like theorems of the form "Every coloring of the edges of an infinite clique admits an infinite sub-clique avoiding some pattern", with a particular focus on transitive patterns. As it…
This paper makes contributions to ``pure'' sheaf model theory, the part of model theory in which the models are sheaves over a complete Heyting algebra. We start by outlining the theory in a way we hope is readable for the non-specialist.…
In 1985, Yu. V. Nesterenko produced a criterion for linear independence, which is a variant of Siegel's. While Siegel uses upper bounds on full systems of forms, Nesterenko uses upper and lower bounds on sufficiently dense sequences of…
Here we propose a survey on Mahler's theory for transcendence and algebraic independence focusing on certain applications to the arithmetic of periods of Anderson t-motives.
Linear arithmetics are extensions of Presburger arithmetic (Pr) by one or more unary functions, each intended as multiplication by a fixed element (scalar), and containing the full induction schemes for their respective languages. In this…
We show that the quantifier elimination result for the Shelah-Spencer almost sure theories of sparse random graphs $G(n,n^{-\alpha})$ given by Laskowski in $[7]$ extends to their various analogues. The analogues will be obtained as theories…
A structure $\mathcal{M}$ in a first-order language $\mathcal{L}$ is \emph{indivisible} if for every coloring of $M$ in two colors, there is a monochromatic $\mathcal{M}^{\prime} \subseteq \mathcal{M}$ such that…
Informally, a mathematical statement is robust if its strength is left unchanged under variations of the statement. In this paper, we investigate the lack of robustness of Ramsey's theorem and its consequence under the frameworks of reverse…
We characterize the strength, in terms of Weihrauch degrees, of certain problems related to Ramsey-like theorems concerning colourings of the rationals and of the natural numbers. The theorems we are chiefly interested in assert the…
We study notions of genericity in models of $\mathsf{PA}$, inspired by lines of inquiry initiated by Chatzidakis and Pillay and continued by Dolich, Miller and Steinhorn in general model-theoretic contexts. These papers studied the theories…
We study the theory $T_{m,n}$ of existentially closed incidence structures omitting the complete incidence structure $K_{m,n}$, which can also be viewed as existentially closed $K_{m,n}$-free bipartite graphs. In the case $m = n = 2$, this…
