This paper introduces an alternative approach to proving the existence of choice functions for specific families of sets within Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory (ZF) without assuming any form on the Axiom of Choice (AC). Traditional methods of…

In this paper we investigate some Mal'cev classes of varieties of left-quasigroups. We prove that the weakest Mal'cev condition for a variety of left-quasigroup is having a Mal'cev term. Then we specialize to the setting of quandles for…

We show that if (M,E,E') satisfies the first order Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms of set theory when the membership relation is E and also when the membership relation is E', and in both cases the formulas are allowed to contain both E and E',…

The goal of this paper is twofold. In addition to the results stated in the next paragraph, we present some classical results on absoluteness relevant to functional analysis that are well known to logicians but not nearly as well advertised…

We derive a Mal'cev condition for congruence meet-semidistributivity and then use it to prove two theorems. Theorem A: if a variety in a finite language is congruence meet-semidistributive and residually less than some finite cardinal, then…

Part I proved that for every quasivariety K of structures (which may have both operations and relations) there is a semilattice S with operators such that he lattice of quasi-equational theories of K (the dual of the lattice of…

We present a system of axioms motivated by a topological intuition: The set of subsets of any set is a topology on that set. On the one hand, this system is a common weakening of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory ZF, the positive set theory GPK…

Let $\mathcal K$ be a complete quasivariety of completely regular universal topological algebras of continuous signature $\mathcal E$ (which means that $\mathcal K$ is closed under taking subalgebras, Cartesian products, and includes all…

Let $N$ be a finite set and $\mathcal{F}$, an intersection-closed family of subsets. Frankl conjectured that there always exists an element in $N$ which is contained in at most half the number of sets in $\mathcal{F}$ unless $\mathcal{F}…

In this paper we show that the equivalences between certain properties of closed subanalytic sets proved by E. Bierstone and P. Milman in \cite{[BM-1]} hold for closed sets definable in quasianalytic o-minimal structures. In particular we…

We investigate the Mal'tsev product $\mathcal{V} \circ \mathcal{W}$ of two varieties $\mathcal{V}$ and $\mathcal{W}$ of the same similarity type. Such a product is usually a quasivariety but not necessarily a variety. We give an equational…

We establish completeness for intuitionistic first-order logic, iFOL, showing that a formula is provable if and only if its embedding into minimal logic, mFOL, is uniformly valid under the Brouwer Heyting Kolmogorov (BHK) semantics, the…

We give a proof of Kontsevich's formality theorem for a general manifold using Fedosov resolutions of algebras of polydifferential operators and polyvector fields. The main advantage of our construction of the formality quasi-isomorphism is…

We consider the complexity of deciding membership of a given finite semigroup to a fixed pseudovariety. While it is known that there exist pseudovarieties with NP-complete or even undecidable membership problems, for many well-known…

An integer part I of a real closed field K is a discretely ordered subring with minimal element 1 such that, for every x in K, I contains some i such that x is between i and i+1 in the ordering of K. Mourgues and Ressayre showed that every…

We work in set-theory without choice ZF. Denoting by AC(N) the countable axiom of choice, we show in ZF+AC(N) that the closed unit ball of a uniformly convex Banach space is compact in the convex topology (an alternative to the weak…

In this paper, we describe the formalization of the axiom of choice and several of its famous equivalent theorems in Morse-Kelley set theory. These theorems include Tukey's lemma, the Hausdorff maximal principle, the maximal principle,…

The Mal'tsev product of two varieties of similar algebras is always a quasivariety. We consider the question of when this quasivariety is a variety. The main result asserts that if $\mathcal{V}$ is a strongly irregular variety with no…

Suppose that $F$ is an $\mathbb{A}^{1}$-invariant quasi-stable $\mathbb{Z}F_{\ast}$-presheaf. Then its Zariski sheafification $F_{Zar}$ coincides with its Nisnevich sheafification $F_{Nis}$. Moreover, if $X\in Sm/k$ is $k$-smooth, then for…

A countable CW complex $K$ is quasi-finite (as defined by A.Karasev) if for every finite subcomplex $M$ of $K$ there is a finite subcomplex $e(M)$ such that any map $f:A\to M$, where $A$ is closed in a separable metric space $X$ satisfying…
