We provide decidability and undecidability results on the model-checking problem for infinite tree structures. These tree structures are built from sequences of elements of infinite relational structures. More precisely, we deal with the…
A famous result due to Lov\'{a}sz states that two finite relational structures $M$ and $N$ are isomorphic if, and only if, for all finite relational structures $T$, the number of homomorphisms from $T$ to $M$ is equal to the number of…
An enumerative invariant theory in Algebraic Geometry, Differential Geometry, or Representation Theory, is the study of invariants which 'count' $\tau$-(semi)stable objects $E$ with fixed topological invariants $[E]=\alpha$ in some…
We show that every finite Abelian algebra A from congruence-permutable varieties admits a full duality. In the process, we prove that A also allows a strong duality, and that the duality may be induced by a dualizing structure of finite…
We show that every countable group H with solvable word problem (=computable group) can be subnormally embedded into a 2-generated group G which also has solvable word problem. Moreover, the membership problem for H < G is also solvable. We…
We introduce the notion of quantum duplicates of an (associative, unital) algebra, motivated by the problem of constructing toy-models for quantizations of certain configuration spaces in quantum mechanics. The proposed (algebraic) model…
A countable structure is said to be extendible if it has the same Scott sentence as some uncountable structure. Rigid structures are not extendible. We give an example of an extendible model with a rigid elementary extension.
We show that there are uncountably many countable lattices. We give a discussion of which such lattices can be modular or distributive. The method applies to show that certain other classes of structures also have uncountably many…
We introduce the notion of a wall-connected twin building and show that the local-to-global principle holds for these twin buildings. As each twin building satisfying Condition (co) (introduced in [7]) is wall-connected, we obtain a…
We prove that a countable direct sum of chains has either one, countably many or else continuum many isomorphism classes of siblings. This proves Thomass\'e's conjecture for such structures. Further, we show that a direct sum of chains of…
We give a sufficient condition for an algebraic structure to have a computable presentation with a computable basis and a computable presentation with no computable basis. We apply the condition to differentially closed, real closed, and…
We develop a novel formal theory of finite structures, based on a view of finite structures as a fundamental artifact of computing and programming, forming a common platform for computing both within particular finite structures, and in the…
We prove that if a separable metrizable $X$ is a union of two disjoint 0-dimensional sets $E$, $F$, $E$ is absolutely $G_{\delta}$ and $F$ is absolutely $F_{\sigma\delta}$ then there is a closed embedding $h$ into the union of countable…
Nichols algebras of group type with many cubic relations are classified under a technical assumption on the structure of Hurwitz orbits of the third power of the underlying indecomposable rack. All such Nichols algebras are…
Sequentiable structures are a subclass of monoids that generalise the free monoids and the monoid of non-negative real numbers with addition. In this paper we consider functions $f:\Sigma^*\rightarrow {\cal M}$ and define the Myhill-Nerode…
The ordered structures of natural, integer, rational and real numbers are studied in this thesis. The theories of these numbers in the language of order are decidable and finitely axiomatizable. Also, their theories in the language of order…
In this paper we introduce the notion of existentially closed Leibniz algebras. Then we use HNN-extensions of Leibniz algebras in order to prove an embedding theorem.
In this paper, by using Gr\"obner-Shirshov bases, we show that in the following classes, each (resp. countably generated) algebra can be embedded into a simple (resp. two-generated) algebra: associative differential algebras, associative…
For a countable group G = <A | R> presented by its generators A and defining relations R we discuss a simple method to embed G into such a 2-generator group T that the images of generators from A are explicitly given in T, and the defining…
We show that if a manifold M admits a contact structure, then so does M\times S^2. Our proof relies on surgery theory, a theorem of Eliashberg on contact surgery and a theorem of Bourgeois showing that if M admits a contact structure then…
