An overview is given of the various expansions of fields and fusions of strongly minimal sets obtained by means of Hrushovski's amalgamation method, as well as a characterization of the groups definable in these structures.
Universal algebraic geometry is generalised from solutions of equations in a single algebra to the study of $\varphi$- or $K$-spectra, akin to the prime spectrum of a ring. We explore their basic properties and constructions, give a…
We show that the geometry of Hrushovski's ab initio construction for a single $n$-ary relation not-permitting dependent sets of size less than $n$, when restricted to $n$-tuples, can be itself constructed as a Hrushovski construction.
We investigate correspondences between extreme amenability and amenability of automorphism groups of Fra\"iss\'e-Hrushovski generic structures that are obtained from smooth classes, and their Ramsey type properties of their smooth classes,…
We use axioms of abstract ternary relations to define the notion of a free amalgamation theory. These form a subclass of first-order theories, without the strict order property, encompassing many prominent examples of countable structures…
We show that the generic automorphism is axiomatisable in the green field of Poizat (once Morleyised) as well as in the bad fields which are obtained by collapsing this green field to finite Morley rank. As a corollary, we obtain "bad…
We study the notions generic stability, regularity, homogeneous pregeometries, quasiminimality, and their mutual relations, in an arbitrary first order theory T. We prove that "infinite-dimensional homogeneous pregeometries" coincide with…
On Zariski Main Theorem in Algebraic Geometry and Analytic Geometry. We fill a surprising gap of Complex Analytic Geometry by proving the analogue of Zariski Main Theorem in this geometry, i.e. proving that an holomorphic map from an…
We present a generic construction of finite realisations of amalgamation patterns. An amalgamation pattern is specified by a finite collection of finite template structures together with a collection of partial isomorphisms between them. A…
Denote Hrushovski's non-collapsed ab initio construction for an $n$-ary relation by $\mathcal{M}_{\not\sim}$ and the analogous construction for a symmetric $n$-ary relation by $\mathcal{M}_{\sim}$. We show that $\mathcal{M}_{\not\sim}$ is…
The objective of this article is to characterise elimination of finite generalised imaginaries (as defined by Hrushovski) in terms of group cohomology. As an application, I consider series of Zariski geometries constructed by Hrushovski and…
We give a syntactic characterization of abstract elementary classes (AECs) closed under intersections using a new logic with a quantifier for isomorphism types that we call structural logic: we prove that AECs with intersections correspond…
We use tools of mathematical logic to analyse the notion of a path on an complex algebraic variety, and are led to formulate a "rigidity" property of fundamental groups specific to algebraic varieties, as well as to define a bona fide…
We introduce a broad class of random graph models: the generalised hypergeometric ensemble (GHypEG). This class enables to solve some long standing problems in random graph theory. First, GHypEG provides an elegant and compact formulation…
We study sets of solutions to equations over a free group, projections of such sets, and the structure of elementary sets defined over a free group. The structre theory we obtain enable us to answer some questions of A. Tarski's, and…
Let $K_d$ denote the class of all finite graphs and, for graphs $A\subseteq B$, say $A \leq_d B$ if distances in $A$ are preserved in $B$; i.e. for $a, a' \in A$ the length of the shortest path in $A$ from $a$ to $a'$ is the same as the…
We investigate atomicity of free algebras and various forms of amalgamation for BL and MV algebras, and also Heyting algebras, though the latter algebras may not be linearly ordered, so strictly speaking their corresponding intuitionistic…
A new class of noncommutative $k$-algebras (for $k$ an algebraically closed field) is defined and shown to contain some important examples of quantum groups. To each such algebra, a first order theory is assigned describing models of a…
For $K$ an abstract elementary class with amalgamation and no maximal models, we show that categoricity in a high-enough cardinal implies structural properties such as the uniqueness of limit models and the existence of good frames. This…
Let $\mathbb{M}_n$ denote the structure obtained from Hrushovski's (non collapsed) construction with an n-ary relation and $PG(\mathbb{M}_n)$ its associated pre-geometry. It was shown by Evans and Ferreira that $PG(\mathbb{M}_3)\not\cong…
