We study the question of $\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{ring}}$-definability of non-trivial henselian valuation rings. Building on previous work of Jahnke and Koenigsmann, we provide a characterization of henselian fields that admit a non-trivial…
We continue the study from \cite{BrendleFreidmanMontoya, vandervlugtlocalizationcardinals} of localization cardinals $\mfb_\kappa(\in^*)$ and $\mfd_\kappa(\in^*)$ and their variants at regular uncountable $\kappa$. We prove that if $\kappa$…
In this paper we show that a new type of products hoops can be defined which, in the case of finite hoops, can describe an arbitrary hoop $\mathbf A$ as the product of its arbitrary filter $F$ and the corresponding homomorphic image…
A wide Aronszajn tree is a tree of size $\aleph_1$ with no uncountable branches. Assuming the consistency of the existence of a weakly compact cardinal, we show the consistency of the existence of a wide Aronszajn tree that is…
We study Lie rings definable in a finite-dimensional theory, extending the results for the finite Morley rank case. In particular, we prove a classification of Lie rings of dimension up to four in the NIP or connected case. In…
Martin's Conjecture states that every definable function on the Turing degrees is either constant or increasing, and that every increasing function is an iterate of the Turing jump. This classification has already been corroborated for the…
We study the combination of two o-minimal extensions of the theory of real closed fields: one by a T-convex subring and the other by a T-derivation. Let T be a complete, model complete o-minimal extension of RCF. We show that the combined…
Incomputability results in Formal Logic and the Theory of Computation (i.e., incompleteness and undecidability) have deep implications for the foundations of mathematics and computer science. Likewise, Social Choice Theory, a branch of…
I deal with two approaches to proof-theoretic semantics: one based on argument structures and justifications, which I call reducibility semantics, and one based on consequence among (sets of) formulas over atomic bases, called base…
Several different proof translations exist between classical and intuitionistic logic (negative translations), and intuitionistic and linear logic (Girard translations). Our aims in this paper are (1) to consider extensions of…
In analogy to the study of Scott rank/complexity of countable structures, we initiate the study of the Wadge degrees of the set of homeomorphic copies of topological spaces. One can view our results as saying that the classical…
We consider finite relational signatures $\tau \subseteq \sigma$, a sequence of finite base $\tau$-structures $(\mathcal{B}_n : n \in \mathbb{N})$ the cardinalities of which tend to infinity and such that, for some number $\Delta$, the…
This paper examines Chwistek's claim that with Principia's definition of a class "Richard's paradox can be formulated". It is shown that the demonstration fails since it requires an incorrect elimination of a defined term and use of a…
This paper is a sequel to a paper by the same authors, where they defined $K$-groups of model-theoretic structures, and computed $K_1$ of free modules over PIDs. In this paper, we compute $K_1$ of a right $M_q(R)$-module $M$, where $R$ is a…
We present a method which allows the combination of forcing uniformization on the $\Pi$- and the $\Sigma$-side of the projective hierarchy to a certain extent. Using this method we construct a universe where ${\Pi}^1_3$-reduction holds,…
We provide a differential-algebraic description of forking independence in the stable theory DCF$_{p,m}$ of differentially closed fields of characteristic $p>0$ with $m$-many commuting derivations. As a by-product of this description, we…
A free Steiner quasigroup is a free object in the variety of Steiner quasigroups. Free Steiner quasigroups are characterised by the existence of a levelled construction that starts with a free base - that is, a set of elements none of which…
We formalize an existing computability-theoretic method of presenting first-order structures whose domains have the cardinality of the continuum. Work using these methods until now has emphasized their topological properties. We shift the…
In this article, we have introduced a Logic of Formal Inconsistency (LFI) that we call $\vd$. This logic is non-self-extensional, i.e., the replacement property, or the rule for substitution of equivalents, does not hold. A Hilbert-style…
Given a countable structure $\mathcal{A}$, the degree spectrum of $\mathcal{A}$ is the set of all Turing degrees which can compute an isomorphic copy of $\mathcal{A}$. One of the major programs in computable structure theory is to determine…
