We prove that the category of generalized holomorphically contractible families possesses maximal and minimal objects. Moreover, we present basic properties of these extremal families.

In this paper we study expansions of infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces with a unitary representation of a discrete countable group. When the group is finite, we prove the theory of the corresponding expansion, regardless if it is…

We extend \cite[Theorem 4.5]{DGNO} and \cite[Theorem 4.22]{LKW} to positive characteristic (i.e., to the finite, not necessarily fusion, case). Namely, we prove that if $\D$ is a finite non-degenerate braided tensor category over an…

We give an explicit description of the category of central extensions of a group scheme by a sheaf of Abelian groups. Based on this, we describe a framework for computing with central extensions of finite commutative group schemes, torsors…

We give a geometric proof of existence of Whitney stratifications of definable sets in o-minimal structures.

We study dp-minimal infinite profinite groups that are equipped with a uniformly definable fundamental system of open subgroups. We show that these groups have an open subgroup $A$ such that either $A$ is a direct product of countably many…

We prove that a fundamental group of codimension one nonnegative Ricci curvature C2-foliation of a closed Riemannian manifold is finitely generated and almost abelian, i.e. it contains abelian subgroup of finite index. In particular, we…

We prove a theorem which provides a method for constructing points on varieties defined by certain smooth functions. We require that the functions are definable in a definably complete expansion of a real closed field and are locally…

Recently Paw\l{}ucki showed that compact sets that are definable in some o-minimal structure admit triangulations of class $\mathcal{C}^p$ for each integer $p\geq 1$. In this work, we make use of these new techniques of triangulation to…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a non-oscillatory curve in an o-minimal field such that, for any bounded definable function, the germ of the function on an initial segment of the curve can be continuously extended to a closed…

Let $\mathcal M=\langle K;O\rangle$ be a real closed valued field and let $k$ be its residue field. We prove that every interpretable field in $\mathcal M$ is definably isomorphic to either $K$, $K(\sqrt{-1})$, $k$, or $k(\sqrt{-1})$. The…

We give a short and uniform proof of a special case of Tits' Centre Conjecture using a theorem of J-P. Serre and a result from our earlier work. We consider fixed point subcomplexes $X^H$ of the building $X = X(G)$ of a connected reductive…

We demonstrate that an expansion of a semi-bounded o-minimal expansion of the ordered group of reals by an increasing geometric progression is locally o-minimal.

Let $d \geq 2$ be an integer. We conjecture that there is a finitely generated perfect group whose homomorphic images include all finite $d$-generated perfect groups. We prove a special case of this conjecture for the finite perfect groups…

We prove that every finitely presented self-similar group embeds in a finitely presented simple group. This establishes that every group embedding in a finitely presented self-similar group satisfies the Boone-Higman conjecture. The simple…

We study the properties of topological spaces $(X,\tau)$, where $X$ is a definable set in an o-minimal structure and the topology $\tau$ on $X$ has a basis that is (uniformly) definable. Examples of such spaces include the canonical…

There exist NIP and non-NTP$_2$ theories satisfying all the following conditions: It is not o-minimal; All models are strongly locally o-minimal; It has a model which is an expansion of the linearly ordered abelian group over the reals…

We describe a class of sharply o-minimal structures, called analytically generated structures, whose definable sets and their complexity filtration are determined by the collection of definable complex cells. We prove a polynomially…

We prove that groups of the form $\mathbb Z^m {\,\rm wr\,} \mathbb Z^n$, where $m,n \in \mathbb N$, are regularly bi-interpretable with $\mathbb Z$ and therefore are first-order rigid: every finitely generated group elementarily equivalent…

In this paper we further study links between concentration of measure in topological transformation groups, existence of fixed points, and Ramsey-type theorems for metric spaces. We prove that whenever the group $\Iso(\U)$ of isometries of…
