In this note, we present a characterization of sets definable in Skolem arithmetic, i.e., the first-order theory of natural numbers with multiplication. This characterization allows us to prove the decidability of the theory. The idea is…
In a classic paper, Gerstenhaber showed that first order deformations of an associative k-algebra A are controlled by the second Hochschild cohomology group of A. More generally, any n-parameter first order deformation of A gives, due to…
This is the fourth in a series of papers math.AG/0312190, math.AG/0503029, math.AG/0410267 on configurations in an abelian category A. Given a finite partially ordered set (I,<), an (I,<)-configuration is a finite collection of objects and…
We extend to the context of algebraic groups a classic result on extensions of abstract groups relating the set of isomorphism classes of extensions of $G$ by $H$ with that of extensions of $G$ by the center $Z$ of $H$. The proof should be…
A relational structure $\mathbb{X}$ is called reversible iff each bijective homomorphism from $\mathbb{X}$ onto $\mathbb{X}$ is an isomorphism, and linear orders are prototypical examples of such structures. One way to detect new reversible…
We prove that for no nontrivial ordered abelian group G, the ordered power series field R((G)) admits an exponential, i.e. an isomorphism between its ordered additive group and its ordered multiplicative group of positive elements, but that…
This paper presents analogous results of Hua [7][8] on numbers of representations of quivers over finite fields which respect nilpotent relations under certain assumptions. A closed formula which counts isomorphism classes of absolutely…
We study sets of the form $A = \big\{ n \in \mathbb N \big| \lVert p(n) \rVert_{\mathbb R / \mathbb Z} \leq \varepsilon(n) \big\}$ for various real valued polynomials $p$ and decay rates $\varepsilon$. In particular, we ask when such sets…
Let f(t,X) be an irreducible polynomial over the field of rational functions k(t), where k is a number field. Let O be the ring of integers of k. Hilbert's irreducibility theorem gives infinitely many integral specializations of t to values…
This article examines matrices whose entries are determined by recursive relations of the form $A_{i, j} = x A_{i, j-1} + y A_{i-1, j-1} + z A_{i-1, j}$, where $x, y, z$ are constants, and the initial conditions are defined along the first…
We prove that partially ordered set has finite number of finite-dimensional indecomposable nonequivalent Hilbert representations with orthoscalarity condition if and anly if it has finite number of indecomposable linear representations. We…
We give a new proof of the decidability of reachability in alternating pushdown systems, showing that it is a simple consequence of a cut-elimination theorem for some natural-deduction style inference systems. Then, we show how this result…
We solve a long standing open problem concerning the structure of finite cycles in the category mod A of finitely generated modules over an arbitrary artin algebra A, that is, the chains of homomorphisms $M_0 \stackrel{f_1}{\rightarrow} M_1…
Our main theorem classifies the Auslander-Reiten triangles according to properties of the morphisms involved. As a consequence, we are able to compute the mapping cone of an irreducible morphism. We finish by showing a technique for…
A partially ordered set P is representable if there is a bounded distributive lattice such that its ordered set of prime ideals is order-isomorphic to P. We show that if the order components of a poset P are representable, then so is P.…
We prove that if S is a set of functions from a set A to itself, S is closed under composition, and S contains all transpositions of A, then the action of S on Acan be recovered from the semigroup consisting of S together with its…
Over any partially ordered abelian group whose positive cone is closed in an appropriate sense and has finitely many faces, modules that satisfy a weak finiteness condition admit finite primary decompositions. This conclusion rests on the…
We discuss degenerations of symplectic and orthogonal representations of symmetric quivers and algebras with self-dualities. As in the non-symmetric case, we define a partial ordering, that we call symmetric Ext-order which gives a…
We show that a holomorphic eta quotient has only finitely many factors. We also provide an algorithm for checking irreducibility of holomorphic eta quotients by constructing an upper bound for the minimum of the levels of the proper factors…
We present a new fragment of axiomatic set theory for pure sets and for the iteration of power sets within given transitive sets. It turns out that this formal system admits an interesting hierarchy of models with true membership relation…
