We prove a complexity dichotomy for the resilience problem for unions of conjunctive digraph queries (i.e., for existential positive sentences over the signature $\{R\}$ of directed graphs). Specifically, for every union $\mu$ of…
In Remarks on Galois Cohomology and Definability [2], Pillay introduced definable Galois cohomology, a model-theoretic generalization of Galois cohomology. Let $M$ be an atomic and strongly $\omega$-homogeneous structure over a set of…
We show two results on higher amalgamation in the theory $\mathrm{ACFA}^{+}$, the model companion of the theory of difference fields with an additive character (added as a continuous logic predicate) on the fixed field in characteristic 0.…
We answer a question of Arant, Kechris and Lutz by showing that there is a Borel graphable equivalence relation with no Borel graphing of diameter less than 3. More specifically, we prove that there is an equivalence relation with a Borel…
We study monitorable sets from a topological standpoint. In particular, we use descriptive set theory to describe the complexity of the family of monitorable sets in a countable space $X$. When $X$ is second countable, we observe that the…
We show that no total functional can uniformly transform $\Pi_1$ primality into explicit $\Sigma_1$ witnesses without violating normalization in $\mathsf{HA}$. The argument proceeds through three complementary translations: a geometric…
Effective versions of strong measure zero sets are developed for various levels of complexity and computability. It is shown that the sets can be equivalently defined using a generalization of supermartingales called odds supermartingales,…
We provide a counterexample to the Category Dichotomy in the framework of $\textsf{ZFC}$. That is, we prove the existence of an ideal on $\omega$ that is not Kat\v{e}tov below $\mathsf{nwd}$ and does not have restrictions above…
A $G$-invariant version of definable Tietze extension theorem for definably complete structures is proved when a definably compact definable topological group $G$ acts definably and continuously on the definable set.
We consider a definably complete locally o-minimal expansion of an ordered field. We treat two topics in this paper. The first topic is a definable $\mathcal C^r$ approximation of a definable $\mathcal C^{r-1}$ map between definable…
Let $\mathcal F=(F, +. \cdot, <, 0, 1, \dots)$ be a definably complete locally o-minimal expansion of an ordered field. We demonstrate the existence of definable quotients of definable sets by definable equivalence relations when several…
This is an analysis of the status of Brooks' Theorem, a celebrated result in graph coloring, from the point of view of Reverse Mathematics. We prove that the restriction of Brooks' theorem to bounded graphs of degree greater than or equal…
We introduce a new type of game on natural numbers of variable countable length, which can be regarded as a diagonalization of all games of fixed countable length on natural numbers. Building on previous work by Trang and Woodin, we show…
Within the last fifteen years, a program of establishing relationships between algorithmic randomness and almost-everywhere theorems in analysis and ergodic theory has developed. In harmonic analysis, Franklin, McNicholl, and Rute…
A complete theory ${\mathcal T}$ of partial order is an FLD$_1$-theory iff some (equivalently, any) of its models ${\mathbb X}$ admits a finite lexicographic decomposition ${\mathbb X} =\sum _{{\mathbb I}}{\mathbb X} _i$, where ${\mathbb…
Characteristic earlier results were of the form CON$(2^{\aleph_0} \to [\lambda]^2_{n, 2})$, with $2^{\aleph_0} $ an ex-large cardinal, in the best case the first weakly Mahlo cardinal. Characteristic new results are CON$((2^{\aleph_0} =…
In this article, we deal with the uniform effective disjunction property and the uniform effective interpolation property, which are weaker versions of the classical effective disjunction property and the effective interpolation property.\\…
In this paper, we show that the arc-connectedness equivalence relation on a Polish subspace of the real plane is an essentially hyperfinite Borel equivalence relation. This result provides the optimal upper bound for such a Borel…
Double Boolean algebras (dBas), introduced by Wille, are based on twenty-three identities. We present a simplified axiom system, the D-core algebra, and prove it is equivalent to Wille's original definition. This reduction allows improved…
We construct a model of $\mathsf{MA_{\aleph_1}}+\mathsf{OCA}_T$ where Baumgartner's Axiom fails, settling a question of Farah. Moreover, in the same model there is an $\aleph_1$-dense set of reals which is neither reversible nor increasing,…
