We continue the development of the computability of the second real Johnson-Wilson theory. As ER(2) is not complex orientable, this gives some difficulty even with basic spaces. In this paper we compute the second real Johnson-Wilson theory…

Given a II$_1$ factor $M$, a W$^*$-subalgebra $Q\subset M$ is {\it compressible} if for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists a finite set of unitary elements $\Cal U_0\subset \Cal U(M)$ such that $\| \frac{1}{|\Cal U_0|}\sum_{u\in \Cal U_0}…

We show that for quasivarieties of p-algebras the properties of (i) having decidable first-order theory and (ii) having decidable first-order theory of the finite members, coincide. The only two quasivarieties with these properties are the…

In [6] we proved that the universal theory of infinite free lattices is (algorithmically) decidable, leaving open the problem of decidability of the full theory of an (infinite) free lattice. We solve this problem by proving that, for every…

We prove a version of the Wilson conjecture for $\omega$-categorical $3$-Engel Lie algebras over a field of characteristic $5$: every $\omega$-categorical Lie algebra over $\mathbb{F}_5$ which satisfies the identity $[x,y^3] = 0$ is…

For every prime power p^n with p = 2 or 3 and n > 1 we give an example of an elliptic curve over Q containing a rational point which is locally divisible by p^n but is not divisible by p^n. For these same prime powers we construct examples…

It is noted that conjectures about the non-existence of universal compacta and compactifications of the given extension dimension for non finitely dominated complexes are not valid for all CW complexes of the form $L \vee S^{2}$, where $L$…

We propose elementary and explicit presentations of groups that have no amenable quotients and yet are SQ-universal. Examples include groups with a finite classifying space, no Kazhdan subgroups and no Haagerup quotients.

Let $(\mathcal{K} ,\subseteq )$ be a universal class with $LS(\mathcal{K})=\lambda$ categorical in regular $\kappa >\lambda^+$ with arbitrarily large models, and let $\mathcal{K}^*$ be the class of all $\mathcal{A}\in\mathcal{K}_{>\lambda}$…

We establish the Borel computability of various C$^*$-algebra invariants, including the Elliott invariant and the Cuntz semigroup. As applications we deduce that AF algebras are classifiable by countable structures, and that a conjecture of…

We define united KK-theory for real C*-algebras A and B such that A is separable and B is sigma-unital, extending united K-theory in the sense that KK\crt(\R, B) = K\crt(B). United KK-theory contains real, complex, and self-conjugate…

We prove that if mu^+< lambda =cf(lambda)< mu^{aleph_0}, then there is no universal reduced torsion free abelian group. Similarly if aleph_0< lambda < 2^{aleph_0}. We also prove that if 2^{aleph_0}< mu^+< lambda =cf(lambda)< mu^{aleph_0},…

Let $k$ be a field and $A$ a finite-dimensional $k$-algebra of global dimension $\leq 2$. We construct a triangulated category $\Cc_A$ associated to $A$ which, if $A$ is hereditary, is triangle equivalent to the cluster category of $A$.…

We prove a strong dichotomy for the number of ultrapowers of a given countable model associated with nonprincipal ultrafilters on N. They are either all isomorphic, or else there are $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ many nonisomorphic ultrapowers. We…

A universal category-theoretical characterization of groupoid equivariant $KK^G$-theory for ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$-graded $C^*$-algebras is established, by observing the ``$KK$-axiom'' that for each $[s,{\cal E} \oplus B, \mathbb{F}] \in…

Tsirelson's problem asks whether the set of nonlocal quantum correlations with a tensor product structure for the Hilbert space coincides with the one where only commutativity between observables located at different sites is assumed. Here…

Universal continuous calculi are defined and it is shown that for every finite tuple of pairwise commuting Hermitian elements of a Su*-algebra (an ordered *-algebra that is symmetric, i.e. "strictly" positive elements are invertible, and…

This paper proves that the equational theory of the class $RA_{\alpha}^{csp}$ of representable polyadic algebras is finitely axiomatizable over its substitution-free reduct $RA_{\alpha}^{cp}$, for finite $\alpha$. That is, substitutions of…

We introduce quotient maps in the category of operator systems and show that the maximal tensor product is projective with respect to them. Whereas, the maximal tensor product is not injective, which makes the $({\rm el},\max)-nuclearity…

Connectivity is a homotopy invariant property of separable C*-algebras which has three notable consequences: absence of nontrivial projections, quasidiagonality and a more geometric realization of KK-theory for nuclear C*-algebras using…
