Let $A$ be an abelian variety in a field of characteristic $0$. We prove that the expansion of $A$ by a generic divisible subgroup of $A$ with the same torsion exists provided $A$ has few algebraic endomorphisms, namely…

Let C be a connected noetherian hereditary abelian Ext-finite category with Serre functor over an algebraically closed field k, with finite dimensional homomorphism and extension spaces. Using the classification of such categories from…

We construct an extension $E(A,G)$ of a given group $G$ by infinite non-Archimedean words over an discretely ordered abelian group like $Z^n$. This yields an effective and uniform method to study various groups that "behave like $G$". We…

We study groups and rings definable in d-minimal expansions of ordered fields. We generalize to such objects some known results from o-minimality. In particular, we prove that we can endow a definable group with a definable topology making…

Let $G$, $H$ be groups. We denote by $\eta(G,H)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor product $G \otimes H$ by $G \times H$. We prove that if $G$ and $H$ are groups that act compatibly on each other and such that the set of all…

We call a subset $A$ of the (additive) abelian group $G$ {\it $t$-independent} if for all non-negative integers $h$ and $k$ with $h+k \leq t$, the sum of $h$ (not necessarily distinct) elements of $A$ does not equal the sum of $k$ (not…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $K$ a normal subset consisting of odd-order elements. The rational closure of $K$, denoted $\mathbf D_K$, is the set of elements $x \in G$ with the property that $\langle x \rangle = \langle y \rangle$ for some…

Let $k_0$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$ and $k=k_0(t)$, where $t$ is transcendental over $k_0$. We give an example of a smooth connected unipotent $k$-group $G$ such that $G(F)/R$ is non-commutative for some finite separable field…

We prove that every non-elementary hyperbolic group $G$ acts with maximal growth on some set $X$ such that every orbit of any element $g \in G$ is finite. As a side-product of our approach we prove that if $G$ is non-elementary hyperbolic,…

We show a transfer principle for the property that all types realised in a given elementary extension are definable. It can be written as follows: a Henselian valued fields is stably embedded in an elementary extension if and only if its…

Suppose that $K$ is a characteristic zero field with infinite transcendence degree over its prime subfield. We show that if there is a gt-henselian topology on $K$ then there are $2^{2^{|K|}}$ pairwise incomparable gt-henselian topologies…

We prove that every finitely generated soluble group which is not virtually abelian has a subgroup of one of a small number of types.

We first prove that if $\mathcal{Z}$ is a dp-minimal expansion of $\left(\mathbb{Z},+,0,1\right)$ which is not interdefinable with $\left(\mathbb{Z},+,0,1,<\right)$, then every infinite subset of $\mathbb{Z}$ definable in $\mathcal{Z}$ is…

We give a proof without heights of the Lang-N\'{e}ron theorem: if $K/k$ is a regular extension of finite type and $A$ is an abelian $K$-variety, the group $A(K)/\Tr_{K/k} A(k)$ is finitely generated, where $\Tr_{K/k} A$ denotes the…

Henselian elements are roots of polynomials which satisfy the conditions of Hensel's Lemma. In this paper we prove that for a finite field extension $(F|L,v)$, if $F$ is contained in the absolute inertia field of $L$, then the valuation…

We prove, for any infinite field k, that any virtually trivial split spherical BN-pair in the group G(k) of k-rational points of a reductive k-group G is already trivial. We then inspect the case when G is k-anisotropic and show that in…

We consider the oriented graph whose vertices are isomorphism classes of finitely generated groups, with an edge from G to H if, for some generating set T in H and some sequence of generating sets S_i in G, the marked balls of radius i in…

We prove that any finitely generated elementary amenable group of zero (algebraic) entropy contains a nilpotent subgroup of finite index or, equivalently, any finitely generated elementary amenable group of exponential growth is of…

Suppose that $K$ is an infinite field which is large (in the sense of Pop) and whose first order theory is simple. We show that $K$ is {\em bounded}, namely has only finitely many separable extensions of any given finite degree. We also…

We study the finitely generated abelian group $T(G)$ of endo-trivial $kG$-modules where $kG$ is the group algebra of a finite group $G$ over a field of characteristic $p>0$. When the representation type of the group algebra is not wild, the…
