We show that a complete first-order theory $T$ is distal provided it has a model $M$ such that the theory of the Shelah expansion of $M$ is distal.

A famous result due to Lov\'{a}sz states that two finite relational structures $M$ and $N$ are isomorphic if, and only if, for all finite relational structures $T$, the number of homomorphisms from $T$ to $M$ is equal to the number of…

We show that the model-checking problem for successor-invariant first-order logic is fixed-parameter tractable on graphs with excluded topological subgraphs when parameterised by both the size of the input formula and the size of the…

In the first part we show a counterexample to a conjecture by Shelah regarding the existence of indiscernible sequences in dependent theories (up to the first inaccessible cardinal). In the second part we discuss generic pairs, and give an…

If T is an model complete theory with the strict order property, then the theory of the models of T with an automorphism has no model companion.

Let $\Gamma \subset PSL_2(\mathbb{R})$ be a non-arithmetic Fuchsian group of the first kind with finite covolume, and let $j_{\Gamma}$ be a corresponding uniformizer. In this paper we introduce a natural $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$-axiomatization…

We give a full solution to the question of existence of indiscernibles in dependent theories by proving the following theorem: for every $\theta$ there is a dependent theory $T$ of size $\theta$ such that for all $\kappa$ and $\delta$,…

We prove some structure results for isometries between noncommutative Lp spaces associated to von Neumann algebras. We find that an isometry T: Lp(M_1) to Lp(M_2) (1 le p < infty, p not 2) can be canonically expressed in a certain simple…

We show that, consistently, there is an ultrafilter F on omega such that if N^l_n=(P^l_n cup Q^l_n,P^l_n,Q^l_n,R^l_n) (for l =1,2, n< omega), P^l_n cup Q^l_n subseteq omega, and prod_{n<omega} N^1_n/F and prod_{n< omega}N^2_n/F are…

Let T be a complete, first-order theory in a finite or countable language having infinite models. Let I(T,kappa) be the number of isomorphism types of models of T of cardinality \kappa. We denote by \mu (respectively \hat\mu) the number of…

We generalise the correspondence between $\aleph 0$-categorical theories and their automorphism groups to arbitrary complete theories in classical logic, and to some theories (including, in particular, all $\aleph 0$-categorical ones) in…

The construction of Non Abelian affine Toda models is discussed in terms of its underlying Lie algebraic structure. It is shown that a subclass of such non conformal two dimensional integrable models naturally leads to the construction of a…

We prove that every continuous function $f:E\to Y$ depends on countably many coordinates, if $E$ is an $(\aleph_1,\aleph_0)$-invariant pseudo-$\aleph_1$-compact subspace of a product of topological spaces and $Y$ is a space with a regular…

Let $T$ be a countable complete first-order theory with a definable, infinite, discrete linear order. We prove that $T$ has continuum-many countable models. The proof is purely first-order, but raises the question of Borel completeness of…

Let $E$ be a number field and $X$ a smooth geometrically connected variety defined over a characteristic $p$ finite field. Given an $n$-dimensional pure $E$-compatible system of semisimple $\lambda$-adic representations of the \'etale…

We to a large extent sort out when does a (first order complete theory) T have a superlimit model in a cardinal lambda . Also we deal with relation notions of being limit.

The main goal of this note is to provide a First-Order Logic with Betweenness (FOLB) axiomatization of the main classes of graphs occurring in Metric Graph Theory, in analogy to Tarski's axiomatization of Euclidean geometry. We provide such…

We give a definition of finitary type theories that subsumes many examples of dependent type theories, such as variants of Martin-L\"of type theory, simple type theories, first-order and higher-order logics, and homotopy type theory. We…

A structure $\mathcal{M}$ in a first-order language $\mathcal{L}$ is \emph{indivisible} if for every coloring of $M$ in two colors, there is a monochromatic $\mathcal{M}^{\prime} \subseteq \mathcal{M}$ such that…

Suppose lambda is a singular cardinal of uncountable cofinality kappa. For a model M of cardinality lambda, let No(M) denote the number of isomorphism types of models N of cardinality lambda which are L_{infty lambda}-equivalent to M. In…
