We begin a systematic development of structure theory for a first order theory, which is stable over a monadic predicate. We show that stability over a predicate implies quantifier free definability of types over stable sets, introduce an…
Let M be an o-minimal structure with elimination of imaginaries, N an unstable structure definable in M. Then there exists X, interpretable in N, such that X with all the structure induced from N is o-minimal. In particular X is linearly…
For $M$ $\omega$-categorical and stable, we investigate the growth rate of $M$, i.e. the number of orbits of $Aut(M)$ on $n$-sets, or equivalently the number of $n$-substructures of $M$ after performing quantifier elimination. We show that…
Let $\mathscr{S}$ be the class of all structures whose growth rate on orbits of subsets of size $n$ is not faster than $\frac{2^n}{p(n)}$ for any polynomial $p$. In this article we give a complete classification of all structures in…
For an $\aleph_1$-categorical atomic class, we clarify the space of types over the unique model of size $\aleph_1$. Using these results, we prove that if such a class has a model of size $\beth_1^+$ then it is $\omega$-stable.
We classify primitive, rank 1, omega-categorical structures having polynomially many types over finite sets. For a fixed number of 4-types, we show that there are only finitely many such structures and that all are built out of finitely…
Let $\&$ be a continuous triangular norm on the unit interval $[0,1]$ and $\mathbf{A}$ be a cartesian closed and stable subconstruct of the category consisting of all real-enriched categories. Firstly, it is shown that the category…
We prove a strong non-structure theorem for a class of metric structures with an unstable pair of formulae. As a consequence, we show that weak categoricity (that is, categoricity up to isomorphisms and not isometries) implies several…
We consider automorphism groups of some countably categorical structures and their precompact expansions. We prove that automorphism groups of omega-stable omega-categorical structures have metrizable universal minimal flows. We also study…
We investigate structural properties of non-sofic groups, assuming that such groups exist. We introduce and study two classes: minimal non-sofic groups and $\omega$-non-sofic groups. For minimal non-sofic groups, we establish strong…
Fix a weakly minimal (i.e., superstable $U$-rank $1$) structure $\mathcal{M}$. Let $\mathcal{M}^*$ be an expansion by constants for an elementary substructure, and let $A$ be an arbitrary subset of the universe $M$. We show that all…
Answering a question of Junker and Ziegler, we construct a countable first order structure which is not omega-categorical, but does not have any proper non-trivial reducts, in either of two senses (model-theoretic, and group-theoretic). We…
We determine, up to the equivalence of first-order interdefinability, all structures which are first-order definable in the random partial order. It turns out that these structures fall into precisely five equivalence classes. We achieve…
Let $K_{exp+}$ be the class of all structures $A$ such that the automorphism group of $A$ has at most $c n^{d n}$ orbits in its componentwise action on the set of $n$-tuples with pairwise distinct entries, for some constants $c,d$ with $d <…
A graph class $\mathscr{C}$ is called monadically stable if one cannot interpret, in first-order logic, arbitrary large linear orders in colored graphs from $\mathscr{C}$. We prove that the model checking problem for first-order logic is…
Given a model $\mathcal{M}$ of set theory, and a nontrivial automorphism $j$ of $\mathcal{M}$, let $\mathcal{I}_{\mathrm{fix}}(j)$ be the submodel of $\mathcal{M}$ whose universe consists of elements $m$ of $\mathcal{M}$ such that $j(x)=x$…
We offer a criterion for showing that the automorphism group of an ultrahomogeneous structure is topologically 2-generated and even has a cyclically dense conjugacy class. We then show how finite topological rank of the automorphism group…
Let M be ternary, homogeneous and simple. We prove that if M is finitely constrained, then it is supersimple with finite SU-rank and dependence is $k$-trivial for some $k < \omega$ and for finite sets of real elements. Now suppose that, in…
After Katok, a homeomorphism $f\colon M\to M$ is said to be cohomologically $C^0$-stable when its space of real $C^0$-coboundaries is closed in $C^0(M)$. In this short note we completely classify cohomologically $C^0$-stable homeomorphisms,…
A topological group $G$ is called an $M_\omega$-group if it admits a countable cover $\K$ by closed metrizable subspaces of $G$ such that a subset $U$ of $G$ is open in $G$ if and only if $U\cap K$ is open in $K$ for every $K\in\K$. It is…
