In this work we study the decidability of a class of global modal logics arising from Kripke frames evaluated over certain residuated lattices, known in the literature as modal many-valued logics. We exhibit a large family of these modal…

We point out some connections between existence of homogenous sets for certain edge colorings and existence of branches in certain trees. As a consequence, we get that any locally additive coloring (a notion introduced in the paper) of a…

Paraconsistency is commonly defined and/or characterized as the failure of a principle of explosion. The various standard forms of explosion involve one or more logical operators or connectives, among which the negation operator is the most…

It is consistent that ZF+DC holds, the hypergraph of rectangles on a given Euclidean space has countable chromatic number, while the hypergraph of equilateral triangles in two-dimensional Euclidean space does not.

We investigate the lower bound of the consistency strength of $\mathsf{CZF}$ with Full Separation $\mathsf{Sep}$ and a Reinhardt set, a constructive analogue of Reinhardt cardinals. We show that $\mathsf{CZF+Sep}$ with a Reinhardt set…

The original Goodstein process proceeds by writing natural numbers in nested exponential $k$-normal form, then successively raising the base to $k+1$ and subtracting one from the end result. Such sequences always reach zero, but this fact…

We provide a proof, in $ZFC$, of Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture for abstract elementary classes (AEC's). Moreover, assuming in addition the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis ($SCH$), we prove a direct generalization to the more…

The notion of a context in formal concept analysis and that of an approximation space in rough set theory are unified in this study to define a Kripke context. For any context (G,M,I), a relation on the set G of objects and a relation on…

We analyze $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebras, particularly AF-algebras, and their $K_0$-groups in the context of the infinitary logic $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1 \omega}$. Given two separable unital AF-algebras $A$ and $B$, and considering their…

In this paper, we prove the following: If $n\ge3$, there is a generic extension of $L$ -- the constructible universe -- in which it is true that the Separation principle holds for both effective (lightface) classes $\varSigma^1_n$ and…

The present study shows how to enrich De Morgan algebras with a perfection operator that allows one to express the Boolean properties of negation-consistency and negation-determinedness. The variety of perfect paradefinite algebras thus…

We investigate the structure of ultrafilters on Boolean algebras in the framework of Tukey reducibility. In particular, this paper provides several techniques to construct ultrafilters which are not Tukey maximal. Furthermore, we connect…

We introduce trace definability, a weak notion of interpretability, and trace equivalence, a weak notion of equivalence for first order structures and theories. In particular we get an interesting weak equivalence notion for $\mathrm{NIP}$…

We investigate higher-dimensional $\Delta$-systems indexed by finite sets of ordinals, isolating a particular definition thereof and proving a higher-dimensional version of the classical $\Delta$-system lemma. We focus in particular on…

We define a discrete closure operation for definably complete locally o-minimal structures $\mathcal M$. The pair of the underlying set of $\mathcal M$ and the discrete closure operation forms a pregeometry. We define the rank of a…

It is proved that for each natural number $n$, if $\left| \mathbb{R} \right| = {\aleph}_{n}$, then there is a coloring of ${\left[ \mathbb{R} \right]}^{n+2}$ into ${\aleph}_{0}$ colors that takes all colors on ${\left[ X \right]}^{n+2}$…

We show that if $\mathcal{T}$ is any Hausdorff topology on ${\omega}_{1}$, then any subset of ${\omega}_{1}$ which is homeomorphic to the rationals under $\mathcal{T}$ can be refined to a homeomorphic copy of the rationals on which…

We improve on and generalize a 1960 result of Maltsev. For a field $F$, we denote by $H(F)$ the Heisenberg group with entries in $F$. Maltsev showed that there is a copy of $F$ defined in $H(F)$, using existential formulas with an arbitrary…

We study a version of the Vitali covering theorem, which we call $\textsf{WHBU}$ and which is a direct weakening of the Heine-Borel theorem for uncountable coverings, called $\textsf{HBU}$. We show that $\textsf{WHBU}$ is central to measure…

The almost disjointness numbers associated to the quotients determined by the transfinite products of the ideal of finite sets are investigated. A $\mathrm{ZFC}$ lower bound involving the minimum of the classical almost disjointness and…
