The compactness theorem for a logic states, roughly, that the satisfiability of a set of well-formed formulas can be determined from the satisfiability of its finite subsets, and vice versa. Usually, proofs of this theorem depend on the…

The famous Michael selection theorem deals with the characterisation of paracompact spaces by continuous selections of lower semi-continuous mappings in Banach spaces. In this paper, we will discuss several equivalent forms of this theorem,…

A module $M$ is {called} stable if it has no nonzero projective direct summand. For a ring $ R $, we study conditions under which $R$-modules from certain classes decompose as a direct sum of a projective submodule and a stable submodule.…

We provide a short proof of Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture, assuming the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis ($GCH$), for abstract elementary classes (AEC's) with interpolation, a strengthening of amalgamation which is a necessary…

The third author has shown that Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture holds in universal classes: class of structures closed under isomorphisms, substructures, and unions of chains. We extend this result to the framework of…

The long standing Lech's conjecture in commutative algebra states that for a flat local extension $(R,\mathfrak{m})\to (S,\mathfrak{n})$ of Noetherian local rings, we have an inequality on the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicities: $e(R)\leq…

It is shown in a local strongly $F$-regular ring there exits natural number $e_0$ so that if $M$ is any finitely generated maximal Cohen-Macaulay module then the pushforward of $M$ under the $e_0$th iterate of the Frobenius endomorphism…

We develop some basic results about full amalgamation classes with intrinsic trascendentals. These classes have generics whose models may have finite subsets whose intrinsic closure is not contained in its algebraic closure. We will show…

The existence of the Gorenstein projective precovers over arbitrary rings is an open question. It is known that if the ring has finite Gorenstein global dimension, then every module has a Gorenstein projective precover. We prove here a…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of a certain reflection principle, for every unconditionally closed subset of a group G to be algebraic. As a corollary, we prove that this is always the case when G is a direct product…

We prove the Noether-Lefschetz conjecture on the moduli space of quasi-polarized K3 surfaces. This is deduced as a particular case of a general theorem that states that low degree cohomology classes of arithmetic manifolds of orthogonal…

In this note, we show that any epimorphism originating at a von Neumann regular ring (not necessary commutative) is a universal localization. As an application, we prove that the Telescope Conjecture holds for the unbounded derived…

We prove general results about completeness of cotorsion theories and existence of covers and envelopes in locally presentable abelian categories, extending the well-established theory for module categories and Grothendieck categories.…

In the MINIMUM CONVEX COVER (MCC) problem, we are given a simple polygon $\mathcal P$ and an integer $k$, and the question is if there exist $k$ convex polygons whose union is $\mathcal P$. It is known that MCC is $\mathsf{NP}$-hard…

Let $M$ be a module. A {\em $\delta$-cover} of $M$ is an epimorphism from a module $F$ onto $M$ with a $\delta$-small kernel. A $\delta$-cover is said to be a {\em flat $\delta$-cover} in case $F$ is a flat module. In the present paper, we…

We study the class of equimultiple modules. In particular, we prove several criteria for an equimultiple module to be a complete intersection and prove the openness of the equimultiple locus of an ideal module.

If M is a Drinfeld module over a local function field L, we may view M as a dynamical system, and consider its filled Julia set J. If J^0 is the connected component of the identity, relative to the Berkovich topology, we give a…

The union-closed sets conjecture (Frankl's conjecture) says that for any finite union-closed family of finite sets, other than the family consisting only of the empty set, there exists an element that belongs to at least half of the sets in…

We classify all closed, aspherical Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover has indiscrete isometry group. One sample application is the theorem that any such M with word-hyperbolic fundamental group must be isometric to a negatively…

Introduced by Erd\H{o}s in 1950, a covering system of the integers is a finite collection of arithmetic progressions whose union is the set $\mathbb{Z}$. Many beautiful questions and conjectures about covering systems have been posed over…
