We introduce a class of inverse monoids that can be regarded as non-commutative generalizations of Boolean algebras. These inverse monoids are related to a class of \'etale topological groupoids, under a non-commutative generalization of…
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…
Ramsey theory is the study of conditions under which mathematical objects show order when partitioned. Ramsey theory on the integers concerns itself with partitions of $[1,n]$ into $r$ subsets and asks the question whether one (or more) of…
This is a tutorial on finite automata. We present the standard material on determinization and minimization, as well as an account of the equivalence of finite automata and monadic second-order logic. We conclude with an introduction to the…
The category $\mathrm{FI}_G$ was first defined and explored by Sam-Snowden. Here, we develop more of the machinery of $\mathrm{FI}_G$-modules and find numerous examples to apply it to, extending the work of Church-Ellenberg-Farb and Wilson.…
In this note we study and obtain factorization theorems for colorings of matrices and Grassmannians over $\mathbb{R}$ and ${\mathbb{C}}$, which can be considered metric versions of the Dual Ramsey Theorem for Boolean matrices and of the…
Building on recent work of Mattheus and Verstra\"ete, we establish a general connection between Ramsey numbers of the form $r(F,t)$ for $F$ a fixed graph and a variant of the Zarankiewicz problem asking for the maximum number of 1s in an…
This paper demonstrates the uniformly finite homology developed by Block and Weinberger and its relationship to amenable spaces via applications to the Cayley graph of Thompson's Group F. In particular, a certain class of subgraph of F is…
The purpose of the present paper is to prove for finitely generated groups of type I the following conjecture of A.Fel'shtyn and R.Hill, which is a generalization of the classical Burnside theorem. Let G be a countable discrete group, f one…
The purpose of this article is to connect the notion of the amenability of a discrete group with a new form of structural Ramsey theory. The Ramsey theoretic reformulation of amenability constitutes a considerable weakening of the Folner…
Let G be a finite group. We systematically exploit general homological methods in order to reduce the computation of G-equivariant KK-theory to topological equivariant K-theory. The key observation is that the functor assigning to a…
A finite set $X$ in some Euclidean space $R^n$ is called Ramsey if for any $k$ there is a $d$ such that whenever $R^d$ is $k$-coloured it contains a monochromatic set congruent to $X$. This notion was introduced by Erdos, Graham,…
We develop a new method to compute the homology groups of finite topological spaces (or equivalently of finite partially ordered sets) by means of spectral sequences giving a complete and simple description of the corresponding…
We apply the Ramsey theory to the analysis of geometrical properties of closed contours. Consider a set of six points placed on a closed contour. The straight lines connecting these points are y_ik (x)={\alpha}_ik x+\b{eta}_ik (i,k=1...6),…
Let $A$ be a semisimple Banach algebra with non-trivial, and possibly infinite-dimensional socle. Addressing a problem raised by Harte and Hernandez, we first define a characteristic polynomial for elements belonging to the socle, and we…
We adapt the notion of an algebraic theory to work in the setting of quasicategories developed recently by Joyal and Lurie. We develop the general theory at some length. We study one extended example in detail: the theory of commutative…
In this paper we investigate the connections between Ramsey properties of Fraisse classes K and the universal minimal flow M(G_K) of the automorphism group G_K of their Fraisse limits. As an extension of a result of Kechris, Pestov and…
The goal of this note is to provide yet another proof of the following theorem of Golod: there exists an infinite finitely generated group $G$ such that every element of $G$ has finite order. Our proof is based on the Nielsen-Schreier index…
We study subsets of groups and monoids defined by language-theoretic means, generalizing the classical approach to the word problem. We expand on results by Herbst from 1991 to a more general setting, and for a class of languages…
We prove additive and multiplicative partition theorems, obtaining combinatorial results for p-quasicyclic groups, where p is a prime number. We also get density results for p-quasicyclic groups via left F{\o}lner sequences of non-empty…
