Let M be a finite Riemann surface and let A(bM) be the algebra of all continuous functions on bM which extend holomorphically through M. We prove that a continuous function F on bM belongs to A(bM) if for each f, g in A(bM) such that fF+g…

In "Extensional realizability for intuitionistic set theory", we introduced an extensional variant of generic realizability, where realizers act extensionally on realizers, and showed that this form of realizability provides "inner" models…

Let $k$ be a real abelian number field and $p$ an odd prime not dividing $[k:\mathbb{Q}]$. For a natural number $d$, let $E_d$ denote the group of units of $k$ congruent to $1$ modulo $d$, $C_d$ the subgroup of $d$-circular units of $E_d$,…

We establish that constructive continued fraction dimension originally defined using $s$-gales is robust, but surprisingly, that the effective continued fraction dimension and effective (base-$b$) Hausdorff dimension of the same real can be…

The celebrated Trakhtenbrot's theorem states that the set of finitely valid sentences of first-order logic is not computably enumerable. In this note we will extend this theorem by proving that the finite satisfiability problem of any…

Given a number field $k$, we show that, for many finite groups $G$, all the Galois extensions of $k$ with Galois group $G$ cannot be obtained by specializing any given finitely many Galois extensions $E/k(T)$ with Galois group $G$ and $E/k$…

We extend results of Videla and Fukuzaki to define algebraic integers in large classes of infinite algebraic extensions of Q and use these definitions for some of the fields to show the first-order undecidability. We also obtain a…

The notion of a symmetric extension extends the usual notion of forcing by identifying a particular class of names which forms an intermediate model of ZF between the ground model and the generic extension, and often the axiom of choice…

Brehm's extension theorem states that a non-expansive map on a finite subset of a Euclidean space can be extended to a piecewise-linear map on the entire space. In this note, it is verified that the proof of the theorem is constructive…

We prove that if ${\Lambda}$ is a tame finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field and $G$ is a generic ${\Lambda}-$module, then $G$ is a generic brick if and only if it determines a one-parameter family of bricks with the…

The Abels-Margulis-Soifer lemma states that if a semigroup $\Gamma$ acts strongly irreducibly by linear transformations on a finite-dimensional real vector space, then any element of $\Gamma$ can be multiplied by an element of some fixed…

This paper investigates the expressiveness of a fragment of first-order sentences in Gaifman normal form, namely the positive Boolean combinations of basic local sentences. We show that they match exactly the first-order sentences preserved…

Let $F$ be a number field with ring of integers $O_F$ and let $G$ be a finite group. We describe an approach to the study of the set of realisable classes in the locally free class group $Cl(O_FG)$ of $O_FG$ that involves applying the work…

We study Galois extensions Coinv(M)<M for M an H-comodule algebra and H a Frobenius Hopf algebroid. We obtain generalizations of various theorems in Hopf-Galois theory by Kreimer-Takeuchi, Doi-Takeuchi and Cohen-Fischman-Montgomery. An…

A space $G(M, \varPhi)$ of infinitely differentiable functions in ${\mathbb R}^n$ constructed with a help of a family $\varPhi=\{\varphi_m\}_{m=1}^{\infty}$ of real-valued functions $\varphi_m \in~C({\mathbb R}^n)$ and a logarithmically…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of local fields. The Hasse-Arf theorem says that if Gal$(L/K)$ is abelian then the upper ramification breaks of $L/K$ must be integers. We prove the following converse to the Hasse-Arf theorem: Let $G$…

This work addresses the existence of transitive extensions of certain infinite permutation groups which arise as the automorphism groups of model-theoretic structures which are generic in the Fra\"iss\'e sense. The study of transitive…

A result of Kaufmann shows that if $L_\alpha$ is countable, admissible and satisfies $\Pi_n\textsf{-Collection}$, then $\langle L_\alpha, \in \rangle$ has a proper $\Sigma_{n+1}$-elementary end extension. This paper investigates to what…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of local or global fields in characteristic $0$ or $p$ with nonabelian Galois group $G$, and let ${\mathfrak B}$ be a $G$-stable fractional ideal of $L$. We show that ${\mathfrak B}$ is free over its…

This paper justifies an assertion in (Elder, Proc AMS 137 (2009), no 4, 1193--1203) that Galois scaffolds make the questions of Galois module structure tractable. Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$ and let $K=k((T))$. For the…
