The Heisenberg group, here denoted $H$, is the group of all $3\times 3$ upper unitriangular matrices with entries in the ring $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers. A.G. Myasnikov posed the question of whether or not the universal theory of $H$, in the…

We generalize the Abel--Hurwitz identities to an almost entirely noncommutative setting. Namely, let $V$ be a finite set of size $n$, and let $\mathbb{L}$ be any noncommutative ring. For each $s\in V$, let $x_{s}\in\mathbb{L}$. Set $x\left(…

We study Fermat's Last Theorem and Catalan's conjecture in the context of weak arithmetics with exponentiation. We deal with expansions (B,e) of models of arithmetical theories (in the language L=(0,1,+,x,<)) by a binary (partial or total)…

We show that the equational theory of the structure $\langle \omega^{\omega}: (x,y)\mapsto x+y, x\mapsto \omega x \rangle $ is finitely axiomatizable and give a simple axiom schema when the domain is the set of transfinite ordinals. We give…

For a prime $\ell$ and an abelian variety $A$ over a global field $K$, the $\ell$-parity conjecture predicts that, in accordance with the ideas of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, the $\mathbb{Z}_{\ell}$-corank of the $\ell^{\infty}$-Selmer group…

This paper gives a thorough overview of what is known about first-order logic with counting quantifiers and with arithmetic predicates. As a main theorem we show that Presburger arithmetic is closed under unary counting quantifiers.…

Let $R$ be a commutative integral unital domain and $L$ a free non-commutative Lie algebra over $R$. In this paper we show that the ring $R$ and its action on $L$ are 0-interpretable in $L$, viewed as a ring with the standard ring language…

In partial answer to a question posed by Arnie Miller (http://www.math.wisc.edu/~miller/res/problem.pdf) and X. Caicedo, we obtain sufficient conditions for an L_{omega_1,omega} theory to have an independent axiomatization. As a consequence…

We investigate B\"uchi Arithmetic $\mathsf{BA}_k$ -- the elementary theory of the natural numbers equipped with addition and the function mapping a number $x$ to the greatest power of $k$ dividing $x$. $\mathsf{BA}_k$ is known to be…

We prove a cell decomposition theorem for Presburger sets and introduce a dimension theory for Z-groups with the Presburger structure. Using the cell decomposition theorem we obtain a full classification of Presburger sets up to definable…

A wealth of geometric and combinatorial properties of a given linear endomorphism $X$ of $\R^N$ is captured in the study of its associated zonotope $Z(X)$, and, by duality, its associated hyperplane arrangement ${\cal H}(X)$. This…

Let $X$ be an algebraic scheme over an algebraically closed field and $\ell$ a prime number invertible on $X$. According to classical results (due essentially to A. Grothendieck, M. Artin and P. Deligne), the \'etale cohomology groups…

Aiming to provide weak as possible axiomatic assumptions in which one can develop basic linear algebra, we give a uniform and integral version of the short propositional proofs for the determinant identities demonstrated over $GF(2)$ in…

Two types of higher order Lie $\ell$-ple systems are introduced in this paper. They are defined by brackets with $\ell > 3$ arguments satisfying certain conditions, and generalize the well known Lie triple systems. One of the…

This paper proposes a new category theoretic account of equationally axiomatizable classes of algebras. Our approach is well-suited for the treatment of algebras equipped with additional computationally relevant structure, such as ordered…

Let $A = \{0 = a_0 < a_1 < \cdots < a_{\ell + 1} = b\}$ be a finite set of non-negative integers. We prove that the sumset $NA$ has a certain easily-described structure, provided that $N \geqslant b-\ell$, as recently conjectured by Shakan…

It is commonly believed that algebraic notions of type theory support only universes \`a la Tarski, and that universes \`a la Russell must be removed by elaboration. We clarify the state of affairs, recalling the details of Cartmell's…

We consider first-order definability and decidability questions over rings of integers of algebraic extensions of $\Q$, paying attention to the uniformity of definitions. The uniformity follows from the simplicity of our first-order…

Let $K$ be a number field. We present several new finiteness results for isomorphism classes of abelian varieties over $K$ whose $\ell$-power torsion fields are arithmetically constrained for some rational prime $\ell$. Such arithmetic…

A set $F$ of formulas is complete relative to a given class of logics, if every logic from this class can be axiomatized by formulas from $F$. A set of formulas $F$ is {\L}-complete relative to a given class of logics, if every logic of…
