We prove that a random group, in Gromov's density model with $d < 1/16$ satisfies with overwhelming probability a universal-existential first-order sentence $\sigma$ (in the language of groups) if and only if $\sigma$ is true in a…

The goal of this note is to show that in the case of transversal intersections the "true local terms" appearing in the Lefschetz trace formula equal to the "naive local terms". To prove the result we extend the method of [Va], where the…

It is well-known that extending the Hilbert axiomatic system for first-order intuitionistic logic with an exclusion operator, that is dual to implication, collapses the domains of models into a constant domain. This makes it an interesting…

Word embedding models offer continuous vector representations that can capture rich contextual semantics based on their word co-occurrence patterns. While these word vectors can provide very effective features used in many NLP tasks such as…

In this paper we provide a (negative) solution to a problem posed by Stanis{\l}aw Krajewski. Consider a recursively enumerable theory U and a finite expansion of the signature of U that contains at least one predicate symbol of arity $\ge$…

The Lov\'asz Local Lemma (the LLL for short) is a powerful tool in probabilistic combinatorics that is used to verify the existence of combinatorial objects with desirable properties. Recent years saw the development of various…

This paper studies singularity formation for conservation laws with a source term. Motivated by John (1974) and Barlin (2023), we prove finite-time blow-up under initial data conditions weaker than those in Barlin. Moreover, we show that a…

We consider the following property of a first order theory T with a distinguished unary predicate P: every model of the theory of P occurs as the P-part of some model of T. We call this property the Gaifman property. Gaifman conjectured…

The Lovasz Local Lemma [EL75] is a powerful tool to prove the existence of combinatorial objects meeting a prescribed collection of criteria. The technique can directly be applied to the satisfiability problem, yielding that a k-CNF formula…

Exactly solving first-order constraints (i.e., first-order formulas over a certain predefined structure) can be a very hard, or even undecidable problem. In continuous structures like the real numbers it is promising to compute approximate…

Stochastic non-local conservation law equation in the presence of discontinuous flux functions is considered in an $L^{1}\cap L^{2}$ setting. The flux function is assumed bounded and integrable (spatial variable). Our result is to prove…

The dynamics of nonlinear conservation laws have long posed fascinating problems. With the introduction of some nonlinearity, e.g. Burgers' equation, discontinuous behavior in the solutions is exhibited, even for smooth initial data. The…

Szpilrajn's Lemma entails that each partial order extends to a linear order. Dushnik and Miller use Szpilrajn's Lemma to show that each partial order has a relizer. Since then, many authors utilize Szpilrajn's Theorem and the Well-ordering…

Word embeddings are powerful representations that form the foundation of many natural language processing architectures, both in English and in other languages. To gain further insight into word embeddings, we explore their stability (e.g.,…

We give an algebraic characterisation of first-order logic with the neighbour relation, on finite words. For this, we consider languages of finite words over alphabets with an involution on them. The natural algebras for such languages are…

We introduce a first-order theory of finite full binary trees and then identify decidable and undecidable fragments of this theory. We show that the analogue of Hilbert`s 10th Problem is undecidable by constructing a many-to-one reduction…

We discuss the solvability of an infinite system of first order ordinary differential equations on the half line, subject to nonlocal initial conditions. The main result states that if the nonlinearities possess a suitable "sub-linear"…

We prove a single category-theoretic result encapsulating the notions of ultrafilters, ultrapower, ultraproduct, tensor product of ultrafilters, the Rudin--Kiesler partial ordering on ultrafilters, and Blass's category of ultrafilters UF.…

The classical decision problem, as it is understood today, is the quest for a delineation between the decidable and the undecidable parts of first-order logic based on elegant syntactic criteria. In this paper, we treat the concept of…

We consider the satisfiability problem for the two-variable fragment of first-order logic over finite unranked trees. We work with signatures consisting of some unary predicates and the binary navigational predicates child, right sibling,…
