We prove the uniqueness of high cofinality limit models in stable abstract elementary classes (AECs) with amalgamation, assuming the existence of a rather weak independence relation. $\textbf{Theorem.}$ Suppose $\mathbf{K}$ is a…
Here, we resume and broaden the results concerned which appeared in math.AG/0101098 and math.AG/0104021. We start from summing up our example of a complex algebraic surface which is not deformation equivalent to its complex conjugate and…
A pair of distinct free homotopy classes of closed curves in an orientable surface $F$ with negative Euler characteristic is said to be length equivalent if for any hyperbolic structure on $F$, the length of the geodesic representative of…
Ehrenfeucht-Fra\"iss\'e (EF) games are a basic tool in finite model theory for proving definability lower bounds, with many applications in complexity theory and related areas. They have been applied to study various logics, giving insights…
The essentially non-free spectrum is the class of uncountable cardinals kappa in which there is an essentially non-free algebra of cardinality kappa which is almost free. In L, the essentially non-free spectrum of a variety is entirely…
Two number fields with equal Dedekind zeta function are not necessarily isomorphic. However, if the number fields have equal sets of Dirichlet $L$-series then they \emph{are} isomorphic. We extend this result by showing that the…
A number of model-comparison games central to (finite) model theory, such as pebble and Ehrenfeucht-Fra\"{i}ss\'{e} games, can be captured as comonads on categories of relational structures. In particular, the coalgebras for these comonads…
Assume <aleph_0,aleph_1>-><lambda,lambda^+>. Assume M is a model of a first order theory T of cardinality at most lambda^+ in a vocabulary L(T) of cardinality <= lambda . Let N be a model with the same vocabulary. Let Delta be a set of…
A modeloid, a certain set of partial bijections, emerges from the idea to abstract from a structure to the set of its partial automorphisms. It comes with an operation, called the derivative, which is inspired by Ehrenfeucht-Fra\"iss\'e…
A longstanding open problem in lambda calculus is whether there exist continuous models of the untyped lambda calculus whose theory is exactly the least lambda-theory lambda-beta or the least sensible lambda-theory H (generated by equating…
We investigate Einstein theories of gravity, coupled to a scalar field \vphi and point-like matter, which are characterized by a scalar field-dependent matter coupling function e^{H(\vphi)}. We show that under mild constraints on the form…
For a cardinal kappa and a model M of cardinality kappa let No(M) denote the number of non-isomorphic models of cardinality kappa which are L_{infty,kappa}--equivalent to M. In [Sh:133] Shelah established that when kappa is a weakly compact…
It is shown that the fundamental group of the Griffiths double cone space is isomorphic to that of the triple cone. More generally if $\kappa$ is a cardinal such that $2 \leq \kappa \leq 2^{\aleph_0}$ then the $\kappa$-fold cone has the…
We extend results on asymptotic invariants of line bundles on complex projective varieties to projective varieties over arbitrary fields. To do so over imperfect fields, we prove a scheme-theoretic version of the gamma construction of…
We consider $N$-player games, in continuous time, finite state space and finite time horizon, on a geometrical structure possessing a macroscopic limit in a suitable sense. This geometrical structure breaks the permutation invariance…
Good frames were suggested in [Sh:h] as the (bare-bones) parallel, in the context of AECs, to superstable (among elementary classes). Here we consider $(\mu,\lambda,\kappa)$-frames as candidates for being (in the context of AECs) the…
Keisler proved that if $\theta$ is a strong limit cardinal and $\lambda$ is a singular cardinal, then the transfer relation $\theta\longrightarrow\lambda$ holds. In a previous paper, we studied initial elementary submodels of the…
In this paper we study the notion of strong non-reflection, and its contrapositive weak reflection. We say theta strongly non-reflects at lambda iff there is a function F: theta ---> lambda such that for all alpha < theta with cf(alpha)=…
It is known that the assumption that ``GCH first fails at \aleph_{\omega}'' leads to large cardinals in ZFC. Gitik and Koepke have demonstrated that this is not so in ZF: namely there is a generic cardinal-preserving extension of L (or any…
We construct (\alpha ,\beta) and \alpha -winning sets in the sense of Schmidt's game, played on the support of certain measures (very friendly and awfully friendly measures) and show how to derive the Hausdorff dimension for some. In…
