We give an upper bound for the norm of the determinant of additively indecomposable, totally positive definite quadratic forms defined over the ring of integers of totally real number fields. We apply these results to find lower and upper…

Let $T$ be a theory which is t-minimal, meaning that with respect to some definable topology, a unary definable set $D \subseteq M$ has non-empty interior iff it is infinite. If $K$ is a definable field in $T$, then $K$ is finite or "large"…

We show that ${\mathbb Z}$ is definable in ${\mathbb Q}$ by a universal first-order formula in the language of rings. We also present an $\forall\exists$-formula for ${\mathbb Z}$ in ${\mathbb Q}$ with just one universal quantifier. We…

We use a generalization of a construction by Ziegler to show that for any field $F$ and any countable collection of countable subsets $A_i \subseteq F, i \in \calI \subset \Z_{>0}$ there exist infinitely many fields $K$ of arbitrary…

A visceral structure on M is given by a definable base for a uniform topology on its universe in which all basic open sets are infinite and any infinite definable subset X of M has non-empty interior. This context includes o-minimal ordered…

We introduce a very natural topology on the set of total orderings of monomials of any algebra having a countable basis over a field. This topological space and some notable subspaces are compact. This topological framework allows us to…

Julia Robinson has given a first-order definition of the rational integers Z in the rational numbers Q by a formula (\forall \exists \forall \exists)(F=0) where the \forall-quantifiers run over a total of 8 variables, and where F is a…

We study function fields of curves over a base field $K$ which is either a global field or a large field having a separable field extension of degree divisible by $4$. We show that, for any such function field, Hilbert's 10th Problem has a…

In this note we compare the a-invariant of a homogeneous algebra B to the a-invariant of a subalgebra A. In particular we show that if $A \subset B$ is a finite homogeneous inclusion of standard graded domains over an algebraically closed…

A direct application of Zorn's Lemma gives that every Lipschitz map $f:X\subset \mathbb{Q}_p^n\to \mathbb{Q}_p^\ell$ has an extension to a Lipschitz map $\widetilde f: \mathbb{Q}_p^n\to \mathbb{Q}_p^\ell$. This is analogous, but more easy,…

Let $S \subset \mathbb{Z}^{d}$ be a finitely generated subsemigroup. Let $E$ be a product system over $S$. We show that there exists an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and a semigroup $\alpha:=\{\alpha_x\}_{x \in…

Let k be an algebraically closed field and A be a finite-dimensional associative basic k-algebra of the form A=kQ/I where Q is a quiver without oriented cycles or double arrows and I is an admissible ideal of kQ. We consider roots of the…

The standard, gapped entanglement boundary condition in Chern Simons theory breaks the topological invariance of the theory by introducing a complex structure on the entangling surface. This produces an infinite dimensional subregion…

For each Turing machine T, we construct an algebra A'(T) such that the variety generated by A'(T) has definable principal subcongruences if and only if T halts, thus proving that the property of having definable principal subcongruences is…

In this monograph, we lay the foundations for a new theory that generalizes real algebraic geometry. Let $R|K$ be a field extension, where $R$ is a real closed field and $K$ is an ordered subfield of $R$. The main objective is to study…

The first part of the paper is a brief overview of Hindman's finite sums theorem, its prehistory and a few of its further generalizations, and a modern technique used in proving these and similar results, which is based on idempotent…

We are concerned with topology of Hensel minimal structures on non-trivially valued fields $K$, whose axiomatic theory was introduced in a recent paper by Cluckers-Halupczok-Rideau. We additionally require that every definable subset in the…

Let $S$ be an integral domain with field of fractions $F$ and let $A$ be an $F$-algebra. An $S$-subalgebra $R$ of $A$ is called $S$-nice if $R$ is lying over $S$ and the localization of $R$ with respect to $S \setminus \{ 0 \}$ is $A$. Let…

We show that the set of algebraic extensions $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ in which $\mathbb{Z}$ or the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_F$ are definable is meager in the set of all algebraic extensions.

We show that the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}^{\text{tr}}$ is existentially definable in the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}^{\text{tr}}(i)$, where $\mathbb{Q}^{\text{tr}}$ denotes the field of all totally real numbers. This implies that…
