We examine the first order structure of pregeometries of structures built via Hrushovski constructions. In particular, we show that the class of flat pregeometries is an amalgamation class such that the pregeometry of the unbounded arity…
In the context of Hrushovski constructions we take a language $ \mathcal{L} $ with a ternary relation $ R $ and consider the theory of the generic models $ M^{*}_{\alpha}, $ of the class of finite $ \mathcal{L}$-structures equipped with…
We generalize Hrushovski's Group Configuration Theorem to quasiminimal classes. As an application, we present Zariski-like structures, a generalization of Zariski geometries, and show that a group can be found there if the pregeometry…
We show that the rank {\omega} structure obtained by the non-collapsed version of Hrushovski's amalgamation construction has a proper reduct. We show that this reduct is the Fra\"iss\'e-Hrushovski limit of its own age with respect to a…
In many instances in first order logic or computable algebra, classical theorems show that many problems are undecidable for general structures, but become decidable if some rigidity is imposed on the structure. For example, the set of…
We show that the automorphism groups of certain countable structures obtained using the Hrushovski amalgamation method are simple groups. The structures we consider are the 'uncollapsed' structures of infinite Morley rank obtained by the ab…
We study analytic Zariski structures from the point of view of non-elementary model theory. We show how to associate an abstract elementary class with a one-dimensional analytic Zariski structure and prove that the class is stable,…
In this paper, for a given finitely generated algebra (an algebraic structure with arbitrary operations and no predicates) A we study finitely generated limit algebras of A, approaching them via model theory and algebraic geometry. Along…
The tangled closure of a collection of subsets of a topological space is the largest subset in which each member of the collection is dense. This operation models a logical `tangle modality' connective, of significance in finite model…
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…
We study quasiminimal classes, i.e. abstract elementary classes (AECs) that arise from a quasiminimal pregeometry structure. For these classes, we develop an independence notion, and in particular, a theory of independence in $\M^{eq}$. We…
Using the notion of existentially closed structures, we obtain embedding theorems for groups and Lie algebras. We also prove the existence of some groups and Lie algebras with prescribed properties.
An intermediate stage in Hrushovski's construction of flat strongly minimal structures in a relational language L produces omega-stable structures of rank omega. We analyze the pregeometries given by forking on the regular type of rank…
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 study countable embedding-universal and homomorphism-universal structures and unify results related to both of these notions. We show that many universal and ultrahomogeneous structures allow a concise description (called here a finite…
The objective of this paper is to describe the structure of Zariski closed algebras, which provide a useful generalization to finite dimensional algebras in the study of representable algebras over finite fields. Our results include a…
Non-trivial examples of generalized paracomplex structures (in the sense of the generalized geometry \`a la Hitchin) are constructed applying the twistor space construction scheme.
The classical Kepler-Coulomb system in 3 dimensions is well known to be 2nd order superintegrable, with a symmetry algebra that closes polynomially under Poisson brackets. This polynomial closure is typical for 2nd order superintegrable…
In the course of classifying the homogeneous permutations, Cameron introduced the viewpoint of permutations as structures in a language of two linear orders, and this structural viewpoint is taken up here. The majority of this thesis is…
We construct a new non-desarguesian projective plane from a complex analytic structure. At the same time the construction can be explained in terms of so called Hrushovski's construction. This supports the hypothesis that in general…
