In the past two decades, Sorin Popa's breakthrough deformation/rigidity theory has produced remarkable rigidity results for von Neumann algebras $M$ which can be deformed inside a larger algebra $\widetilde M \supseteq M$ by an action…

We give a definition of some classes of boolean algebras generalizing free boolean algebras; they satisfy a universal property that certain functions extend to homomorphisms. We give a combinatorial property of generating sets of these…

Given a complete atomic Boolean algebra, we show there is a commutative BCK-algebra whose ideal lattice is that Boolean algebra. This result is shown to exist within a larger framework involving BCK-algebras of functions, whose ideals and…

We show that it is consistent with ZFC (relative to large cardinals) that every infinite Boolean algebra B has an irredundant subset A such that 2^{|A|} = 2^{|B|}. This implies in particular that B has 2^{|B|} subalgebras. We also discuss…

We prove the result in the title. We infer, that unlike cylindric algebras, there is a first order axiomatization of the class of completely representable polyadic algebras of infinite dimension, though the one we obtain is infinite; in…

Let $G$ be a torsion-free hyperbolic group and $\alpha$ an automorphism of $G$. We show that there exists a canonical collection of subgroups that are polynomially growing under $\alpha$, and that the mapping torus of $G$ by $\alpha$ is…

There exists a family $\{B_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha<\omega_1}$ of sets of countable ordinals such that o $\max B_{\alpha}=\alpha$, o if $\alpha\in B_{\beta}$ then $B_{\alpha}\subseteq B_{\beta}$, o if $\lambda\leq \alpha$ and $\lambda$ is a limit…

We prove that complete Boolean algebras can be reconstructed from any locally moving subgroup of their full automorphism group. We use this theorem in order to prove that linear orders and circles can be reconstructed from small subgroups…

We investigate sigma-entangled linear orders and narrowness of Boolean algebras. We show existence of sigma-entangled linear orders in many cardinals, and we build Boolean algebras with neither large chains nor large pies. We study the…

We give an accessible and modern description of the automorphisms of a finite abelian group $G$. Included is an explicit formula for the cardinality of $Aut(G)$.

The superamalgamation property is a strong form of the amalgamation property which applies to ordered structures; it has found many applications in algebraic logic. We show that superamalgamation has some interest also from the pure…

We give a unified treatment of the model theory of various enrichments of infinite atomic Boolean algebras, with special attention to quantifier-eliminations, complete axiomatizations and decidability. A classical example is the enrichment…

We address several questions of Donald Monk related to irredundance and spread of Boolean algebras, gaining both some ZFC knowledge and consistency results. We show in ZFC that irr(B_0 times B_1)= max(irr(B_0),irr(B_1)). We prove…

Let C denote any of the following cardinal characteristics of Boolean algebras: incomparability, spread, character, pi-character, hereditary Lindelof number, hereditary density. It is shown to be consistent that there exists a sequence…

We try to build, provably in ZFC, for a first order T a model in which any isomorphism between two Boolean algebras is definable. The problem, compared to [Sh:384], is with pseudo-finite Boolean algebras. A side benefit is that we do not…

A subalgebra $A$ of the algebra $B(\mathcal{H})$ of bounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is said to be catalytic if every transitive subalgebra $\mathcal{T}\subset B(\mathcal{H})$ containing it is strongly…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, convex domain in a separable Hilbert space. The authors prove a version of the theorem of Bun Wong, which asserts that if such a domain admits an automorphism orbit accumulating at a strongly pseudoconvex boundary…

We show that the ergodicity of an aperiodic automorphism of a Lebesgue space is equivalent to the continuity of a certain map on a metric Boolean algebra. A related characterization is also presented for periodic and totally ergodic…

We show that the number of twisted conjugacy classes is infinite for any automorphism of non-elementary, Gromov hyperbolic group . An analog of Selberg theory for twisted conjugacy classes is proposed.

It is unprovable that every complete subalgebra of a countably closed complete Boolean algebra is countably closed.
