We prove two results about generically stable types $p$ in arbitrary theories. The first, on existence of strong germs, generalizes results from D. Haskell, E. Hrushovski and D. Macpherson on stably dominated types. The second is an…

Let $A \subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ be a finite set. It is known that the sumset $NA$ has predictable size ($\vert NA\vert = P_A(N)$ for some $P_A(X) \in \mathbb{Q}[X]$) and structure (all of the lattice points in some finite cone other than all…

A new notion of independence relation is given and associated to it, the class of flat theories, a subclass of strong stable theories including the superstable ones is introduced. More precisely, after introducing this independence…

In this note, we introduce the notion of support graph to define explanations for any model of a logic program. An explanation is an acyclic support graph that, for each true atom in the model, induces a proof in terms of program rules…

Bounded stationary reflection at a cardinal $\lambda$ is the assertion that every stationary subset of $\lambda$ reflects but there is a stationary subset of $\lambda$ that does not reflect at arbitrarily high cofinalities. We produce a…

Stability plays a central role in arithmetic. In this article, we explain some basic ideas and present certain constructions for such studies. There are two aspects: namely, general Class Field Theories for Riemann surfaces using…

Classically, any structure for a signature $\Sigma$ may be completed to a model of a desired regular theory $T$ by means of the chase construction or small object argument. Moreover, this exhibits $\mathrm{Mod}(T)$ as weakly reflective in…

Let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be two closed linear relation acting between two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ and let $\lambda$ be a complex number. We study the stability of the nullity and deficiency of $\mathcal A$ when it is perturbed by…

To determine whether a number is congruent or not is an old and difficult topic and progress is slow. The paper presents a new theorem when a prime number is a congruent number or not. The proof is not necessarily any simpler or shorter…

The randomization of a complete first order theory T is the complete continuous theory T^R with two sorts, a sort for random elements of models of T, and a sort for events in an underlying probability space. We give necessary and sufficient…

For an abstract elementary class $\mathbf{K}$ and a cardinal $\lambda \geq LS(\mathbf{K})$, we prove under mild cardinal arithmetic assumptions, categoricity in two succesive cardinals, almost stability for $\lambda^+$-minimal types and…

We give a combinatorial proof that congruence permutability is prime in the lattice of interpretability types of varieties. Thereby, we settle a 1984 conjecture of Garcia and Taylor.

In model-driven development, an ordered model transformation is a nested set of transformations between source and target classes, in which each transformation is governed by its own pre and post- conditions, but structurally dependent on…

In this paper we address a problem posed by Shelah in 1999 to find a suitable notion for superstability for abstract elementary classes in which limit models of cardinality $\mu$ are saturated. Theorem 1. Suppose that $\mathcal{K}$ is a…

This technical note studies Lyapunov-like conditions to ensure a class of dynamical systems to exhibit predefined-time stability. The origin of a dynamical system is predefined-time stable if it is fixed-time stable and an upper bound of…

We apply the recently developed technology of cofinality spectrum problems to prove a range of theorems in model theory. First, we prove that any model of Peano arithmetic is $\lambda$-saturated iff it has cofinality $\geq \lambda$ and the…

We give several characterizations of when a complete first-order theory $T$ is monadically NIP, i.e. when expansions of $T$ by arbitrary unary predicates do not have the independence property. The central characterization is a condition on…

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…
