Given an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic zero, we study the incidence relation between points and irreducible projective curves, or more precisely the poset of irreducible proper subvarieties of $\mathbb P^2(K)$. Answering…

We introduce a model-complete theory which completely axiomatizes the structure $Z_{\alpha}=(Z, +, 0, 1, f)$ where $f : x \to \lfloor{\alpha} x \rfloor $ is a unary function with $\alpha$ a fixed transcendental number. When $\alpha$ is…

By providing a procedure to apply Hrushovski's amalgamation method to the setting of classes of infinite structures, we introduce the notion of \textit{paracollapsed} structures. We show that this approach provides existentially closed…

We show that the Hrushovski-\fraisse limit of certain classes of trees lead to strictly superstable theories of various U-ranks. In fact, for each $ \alpha\in\omega+1\backslash\{0\} $ we introduce a strictly superstable theory of U-rank $…

In a relational language consisting of a single relation $ R, $ we investigate pseudofiniteness of certain Hrushovski constructions obtained via predimension functions. It is notable that the arity of the relation $ R $ plays a crucial role…

We prove that Arithmetical Comprehension is equivalent to the determinacy of all clopen integer games in which each player has at most two moves per turn.

We show that every general theory \`a la Keisler with the Schr\"oder-Bernstein property is stable. This generalizes the corresponding result from classical logic due to John Goodrick. Our proof uses the classical result (generalized to the…

In continuous logic, there are plenty of examples of interesting stable metric structures. However, on the other side of the SOP line, there are only a few metric structures where order is relevant, and orders often appear in different…

The Fregean ontology can be naturally interpreted within set theory with urelements, where objects correspond to sets and urelements, and concepts to classes. Consequently, Fregean abstraction principles can be formulated as set-theoretic…

There are numerous generalizations of the celebrated Priestley duality for bounded distributive lattices to the non-distributive setting. The resulting dualities rely on an earlier foundational work of such authors as Nachbin,…

This paper presents a reverse mathematical analysis of several forms of the sorites paradox. We first illustrate how traditional formulations are reliant on H\"older's Representation Theorem for ordered Archimedean groups. While this is…

A longstanding question is to characterize the lattice of supersets (modulo finite sets), $\mathcal{L}^*(A)$, of a low$_2$ computably enumerable (c.e.) set. The conjecture is that $\mathcal{L}^*(A)\cong {\mathcal E}^*$. In spite of claims…

We build on a 1990 paper of Bukovsky and Coplakova-Hartova. First, we remove the hypothesis of $\textsf{CH}$ from one of their minimality results. Then, using a measurable cardinal, we show that there is a $|\aleph_2^V|=\aleph_1$-minimal…

It is sometimes desirable in choiceless constructions of set theory that one iteratively extends some ground model without adding new sets of ordinals after the first extension. Pushing this further, one may wish to have models $V \subseteq…

We show that if $(X,\mu)$ is a standard probability space, then every $\mu$-preserving $\aleph_0$-regular Borel graph on $X$ admits a $\mu$-measurable vertex $\aleph_0$-coloring in which every vertex sees every color in its neighborhood.

Let $\Gamma$ be a compact Polish group of finite topological dimension. For a countably infinite subset $S\subseteq \Gamma$, a domatic $\aleph_0$-partition (for its Schreier graph on $\Gamma$) is a partial function…

We prove that for every tower $\mathcal T$ there are $\aleph_1$-dense $A$ and $B$ so that any ``reasonable" forcing notion $\mathbb{P}$ -- an adjective that includes all known ones -- for making $A$ and $B$ isomorphic will add a…

We study projective functions. We prove that projective functions generalise lower and upper-semianalytic ones while being stable by composition and difference. We show that the class of projective functions is closed under sums,…

One advantage of paraconsistent logic is that it can deal with inconsistencies without making the system trivial. However, unlike classical propositional calculus, its deductive system is limited, and the meaning of paraconsistent negation…

Matthias Schr\"oder has asked the question whether there is a weakest discontinuous problem in the continuous version of the Weihrauch lattice. Such a problem can be considered as the weakest unsolvable problem. We introduce the…
