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…

The back-and-forth relations $M\leq_\alpha N$ are central to computable structure theory and countable model theory. It is well-known that the relation $\{(M,N) : M \leq_\alpha N\}$ is (lightface) $\Pi^0_{2\alpha}$. We show that this is…

Hemaspaandra et al. proved that, for $m > 0$ and $0 < i < k - 1$: if $\Sigma_i^p \BoldfaceDelta DIFF_m(\Sigma_k^p)$ is closed under complementation, then $DIFF_m(\Sigma_k^p) = coDIFF_m(\Sigma_k^p)$. This sharply asymmetric result fails to…

We consider the properties weak cancellation, K_1-surjectivity, good index theory, and K_1-injectivity for the class of extremally rich C*-algebras, and for the smaller class of isometrically rich C*-algebras. We establish all four…

Given an algebraic theory which can be described by a (possibly symmetric) operad $P$, we propose a definition of the \emph{weakening} (or \emph{categorification}) of the theory, in which equations that hold strictly for $P$-algebras hold…

We show in Bishop's constructive mathematics---in particular, using countable choice---that weak K\"{o}nig's lemma implies the uniform continuity theorem.

In this article, we prove that Ramsey's theorem for pairs and two colors is $\Pi^1_1$-conservative over~$\mathsf{RCA}_0 + \mathsf{B}\Sigma^0_2 + \mathsf{WF}(\epsilon_0)$ and over~$\mathsf{RCA}_0 + \mathsf{B}\Sigma^0_2 + \bigcup_n…

This paper continues to study the connection between reverse mathematics and Weihrauch reducibility. In particular, we study the problems formed from Maltsev's theorem on the order types of countable ordered groups. Solomon showed that the…

Let $\mathsf{KP}$ denote Kripke-Platek Set Theory and let $\mathsf{M}$ be the weak set theory obtained from $\mathsf{ZF}$ by removing the collection scheme, restricting separation to $\Delta_0$-formulae and adding an axiom asserting that…

Let $R$ be a semilocal principal ideal domain. Two algebraic objects over $R$ in which scalar extension makes sense (e.g. quadratic spaces) are said to be of the same genus if they become isomorphic after extending scalars to all…

Let $\Diff^{ r}_m(M)$ be the set of $C^{ r}$ volume-preserving diffeomorphisms on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ ($\dim M\geq 2$). In this paper, we prove that the diffeomorphisms without zero Lyapunov exponents on a set of positive…

A new condition called ${\cal T}$ condition is introduced for the first time and used to study a pair of isotopic loops. Under this condition, a loop in the pair is a WIPL if and only if the other loop is a WIPL. Furthermore, such WIPLs are…

A recent result of M. Kourganoff states that if $D$ is a closed, reducible, non-flat, Weyl connection on a compact conformal manifold $M$, then the universal covering of $M$, endowed with the metric whose Levi-Civita covariant derivative is…

For $n<\omega$, we say that the $\Pi^1_n$-reflection principle holds at $\kappa$ and write $\text{Refl}_n(\kappa)$ if and only if $\kappa$ is a $\Pi^1_n$-indescribable cardinal and every $\Pi^1_n$-indescribable subset of $\kappa$ has a…

We study the question of when a given countable ordinal $\alpha$ is $\Sigma^1_n$- or $\Pi^1_n$-reflecting in models which are neither $\mathsf{PD}$ models nor the constructible universe, focusing on generic extensions of $L$. We prove,…

Let $\mathbb K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $V$ be a module over the polynomial ring $\mathbb K[x,y]$. The actions of $x$ and $y$ determine linear operators $P$ and $Q$ on $V$ as a vector space over $\mathbb…

We prove that the statement "there is a $k$ such that for every $f$ there is a $k$-bounded diagonally non-recursive function relative to $f$" does not imply weak K\"onig's lemma over $\mathrm{RCA}_0 + \mathrm{B}\Sigma^0_2$. This answers a…

In his book, John Stillwell wrote "finding the exact strength of the Brouwer invariance theorems seems to me one of the most interesting open problems in reverse mathematics." In this article, we solve Stillwell's problem by showing that…

We determine the periodic cyclic homology of the Iwahori-Hecke algebras $\Hecke_q$, for $q \in \CC^*$ not a ``proper root of unity.'' (In this paper, by a {\em proper root of unity} we shall mean a root of unity other than 1.) Our method is…

Let M be a compact locally conformal hyperkaehler manifold. We prove a version of Kodaira-Nakano vanishing theorem for M. This is used to show that M admits no holomorphic differential forms, and the cohomology of the structure sheaf…
