We continue the work of [1, 2, 3] by analyzing the equivalence relation of bi-embeddability on various classes of countable planes, most notably the class of countable non-Desarguesian projective planes. We use constructions of the second…
In this paper I consider locally finite Lie algebras of characteristic zero satisfying the condition that for every finite number of elements $x_{1}, x_{2},..., x_{k}$ of such an algebra $L$ there is finite-dimensional subalgebra $A$ which…
For any finite totally ordered set, the multisets of intervals form an abelian category. Various classes of subcategories admit natural combinatorial descriptions, and counting them yields familiar integer sequences. Surprisingly, in some…
Given a cover $\mathbb{U}$ of a family of smooth complex algebraic varieties, we associate with it a class $\mathcal{U},$ containing $\mathbb{U}$, of structures locally definable in an o-minimal expansion of the reals. We prove that the…
Finite topological spaces are in bijective correspondence with preorders on finite sets. We undertake their study using combinatorial tools that have been developed to investigate general discrete structures. A particular emphasis will be…
Algebraic theories, sometimes called equational theories, are syntactic notions given by finitary operations and equations, such as monoids, groups, and rings. There is a well-known category-theoretic treatment of them that algebraic…
Absolute algebras are a new type of algebraic structures, endowed with a meaningful notion of infinite sums of operations without supposing any underlying topology. Opposite to the usual definition of operadic calculus, they are defined as…
We show that semi-infinite cohomology of a finite dimensional graded algebra (satisfying some additional requirements) are a particular case of a general categorical construction. The motivating example is provided by small quantum groups…
In this paper, we present an infinity-categorical version of the theory of monoidal categories. We show that the infinity category of spectra admits an essentially unique monoidal structure (such that the tensor product preserves colimits…
A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…
Each relational structure X has an associated Gaifman graph, which endows X with the properties of a graph. Suppose that X is infinite, connected and of bounded degree. A first-order sentence in the language of X is almost surely true…
Recently George Bergman proved that the symmetric group of an infinite set possesses the following property which we call by the {\it universality of finite width}: given any generating set $X$ of the symmetric group of an infinite set…
We develop a general ring theory in the o-minimal setting culminating in a description of all the definable rings in an arbitrary o-minimal structure. We show that every definably connected ring with non-trivial multiplication defines an…
Structural convergence is a framework for convergence of graphs by Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il and Ossona de Mendez that unifies the dense (left) graph convergence and Benjamini-Schramm convergence. They posed a problem asking whether for a given…
We construct a quasi-coherent sheaf of associative algebras which controls a category of $AV$-modules over a smooth quasi-projective variety. We establish a local structure theorem, proving that in \'etale charts these associative algebras…
We explore the connection between the notion of Hopf category and the categorification of the infinite dimensional Heisenberg algebra via graphical calculus proposed by M.Khovanov. We show that the existence of a Hopf structure on a…
The purpose of these notes is to collect in one place some facts on the category of finite totally ordered sets and some related categories. More specifically, we collect some results on them which will be useful for the study of iteratedly…
In this paper we introduce and study the formal punctured neighborhood of infinity, both in the algebro-geometric and in the DG categorical frameworks. For a smooth algebraic variety $X$ over a field of characteristic zero, one can take its…
This article introduces Hilbert $*$-categories: an abstraction of categories with similar algebraic and analytic properties to the categories of real, complex, and quaternionic Hilbert spaces and bounded linear maps. Other examples include…
We construct a moduli space for the connected subgroups of an algebraic group and the corresponding universal family. Morphisms from an algebraic variety to this moduli space correspond to flat families of connected algebraic subgroups…
