We study FO+, a fragment of first-order logic on finite words, where monadic predicates can only appear positively. We show that there is a FO-definable language that is monotone in monadic predicates but not definable in FO+. This provides…

We contribute to the refined understanding of the language-logic-algebra interplay in the context of first-order properties of countable words. We establish decidable algebraic characterizations of one variable fragment of FO as well as…

Let M be a closed, oriented, n -manifold, and LM its free loop space. Chas and Sullivan defined a commutative algebra structure in the homology of LM, and a Lie algebra structure in its equivariant homology. These structures are known as…

If we replace first order logic by second order logic in the original definition of G\"odel's inner model $L$, we obtain HOD. In this paper we consider inner models that arise if we replace first order logic by a logic that has some, but…

Orbit-finite models of computation generalise the standard models of computation, to allow computation over infinite objects that are finite up to symmetries on atoms, denoted by $\mathbb{A}$. Set theory with atoms is used to reason about…

In this paper, we investigate the connection between infinite permutation monoids and bimorphism monoids of first-order structures. Taking our lead from the study of automorphism groups of structures as infinite permutation groups and the…

In this paper we study the expressive power and definability for (extended) modal languages interpreted on topological spaces. We provide topological analogues of the van Benthem characterization theorem and the Goldblatt-Thomason…

We describe and classify countable Boolean rings (which may or may not have a multiplicative identity) with finitely many distinguished ideals whose elementary theory is countably categorical. This extends the description by Macintyre and…

This paper investigates some issues arising in categorical models of reversible logic and computation. Our claim is that the structural (coherence) isomorphisms of these categorical models, although generally overlooked, have decidedly…

Formalised libraries of combinatorial mathematics have rapidly expanded over the last five years, but few use one of the most important tools: probability. How can often intuitive probabilistic arguments on the existence of combinatorial…

Let $\mathbb V$ be an $\mathbb N$-graded $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebra (VOA), not necessarily rational or self-dual. Using a special case of the sewing-factorization theorem from [GZ25a], we show that the end $\mathbb…

Two structures $M, N$ in the same language are called probably isomorphic if they (or, in case of metric structures, their completions) are isomorphic after forcing with the Lebesgue measure algebra. We show that, if $M$ and $N$ are…

We study finitely generated models of countable theories, having at most countably many nonisomorphic finitely generated models. We intro- duce a notion of rank of finitely generated models and we prove, when T has at most countably many…

Let $Tr$ denote the trace $\mathbb{Z}$-module homomorphism defined on the ring $\mathcal{O}_{L} $ of the integers of a number field $L.$ We show that $Tr(\mathcal{O}_{L})\varsubsetneq \mathbb{Z}$ if and only if there is a prime factor $p$…

Given a class C of word languages, the C-separation problem asks for an algorithm that, given as input two regular languages, decides whether there exists a third language in C containing the first language, while being disjoint from the…

This note sketches the extension of the basic characterisation theorems as the bisimulation-invariant fragment of first-order logic to modal logic with graded modalities and matching adaptation of bisimulation. We focus on showing…

Our main result states that for each finite complex L the category ${\bf TOP}$ of topological spaces possesses a model category structure (in the sense of Quillen) whose weak equivalences are precisely maps which induce isomorphisms of all…
