We prove that every finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field is either derived tame or derived wild. The proof is based on the technique of matrix problems (boxes and reduction algorithm). It implies, in particular,…

We show that under Dickson's conjecture about the distribution of primes in the natural numbers, the theory Th(Z,+,1,0,Pr) where Pr is a predicate for the prime numbers and their negations is decidable, unstable and supersimple. This is in…

We prove that there are single Henkin quantifiers such that first order logic augmented by one of these quantifiers is undecidable in the empty vocabulary. Examples of such quantifiers are given.

The Chinese Remainder Theorem for the integers says that every system of congruence equations is solvable as long as the system satisfies an obvious necessary condition. This statement can be generalized in a natural way to arbitrary…

We introduce "neutrabelian algebras", and prove that finite, hereditarily neutrabelian algebras with a cube term are dualizable.

A field $K$ in a ring language $\mathcal{L}$ is finitely undecidable if $\mbox{Cons}(\Sigma)$ is undecidable for every nonempty finite $\Sigma \subseteq \mbox{Th}(K; \mathcal{L})$. We extend a construction of Ziegler and (among other…

In his 1973 paper Quillen proved a resolution theorem for the K-Theory of an exact category; his proof was homotopic in nature. By using the main result of a paper by Nenashev, we are able to give an algebraic proof of Quillen's Resolution…

We prove the undecidability of the third order pattern matching problem in typed lambda-calculi with dependent types and in those with type constructors by reducing the second order unification problem to them.

We develop some foundations of commutative algebra, with a view towards algebraic geometry, in symmetric tensor categories. Most results establish analogues of classical theorems, in tensor categories which admit a tensor functor to some…

Given a smooth function $K(x)$ satisfying a polynomially cone condition and $x\cdot\nabla K\leq 0$, we prove that there is no solution $u\in C^\infty(\mathbb{R}^2)$ of the equation $$-\Delta u=K(x)e^{2u}\quad \mathrm{on}\;\mathbb{R}^2$$…

We study conditions that will ensure that a crossed product of a C*-algebra by a discrete exact group is purely infinite (simple or non-simple). We are particularly interested in the case of a discrete non-amenable exact group acting on a…

We show that the domino problem is undecidable on orbit graphs of non-deterministic substitutions which satisfy a technical property. As an application, we prove that the domino problem is undecidable for the fundamental group of any closed…

Let $g(x)$ be a fixed non-constant complex polynomial. It was conjectured by Schinzel that if $g(h(x))$ has boundedly many terms, then $h(x)\in \C[x]$ must also have boundedly many terms. Solving an older conjecture raised by R\'enyi and by…
