We present a new uniform method for studying modal companions of superintuitionistic rule systems and related notions, based on the machinery of stable canonical rules. Using this method, we obtain alternative proofs of the Blok-Esakia…
We study generically stable types/measures in both classical and continuous logics, and their connection with randomization and modes of convergence of types/measures.
Several properly countable unions of algebraic sets in $\mathbb{C}^n$ are definable in $\mathbb{C}(t)$ including the set CM of $j$-invariants of complex elliptic curves with complex multiplication. It has been suggested that one could prove…
In this paper we discuss large cardinals and compactness theorems in abelian group theory. More specifically, we generalize two classical compactness results for free abelian groups to the broader context of direct sums of cyclic groups.
We motivate and study an infinite sequence of binary operations on the ordinal numbers, extending the standard arithmetic on the ordinals to higher degrees of iteration. Connections to the hyperoperations on the natural numbers are…
Standard results in descriptive set theory provide sufficient conditions for a Borel set $P \subseteq \mathbb{N}^\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N}^\mathbb{N}$ to admit a Borel uniformization, namely, when $P$ has "small" sections or "large"…
A recent article of Chernikov, Hrushovski, Kruckman, Krupinski, Moconja, Pillay and Ramsey finds the first examples of simple structures with formulas which do not fork over $\emptyset$ but are universally measure zero. In this article we…
We show that the Proper Forcing Axiom for forcing notions of size $\aleph_1$ is consistent with the continuum being arbitrarily large. In fact, assuming $GCH$ holds and $\kappa\geq\omega_2$ is a regular cardinal, we prove that there is a…
We investigate fragments of generic absoluteness principles known as Maximality Principles. We determine the consistency strength of $\Sigma_n$-$\mathsf{MP}(\mathbb R)$ and $\Pi_n$-$\mathsf{MP}(\mathbb R)$, the boldface Maximality Principle…
This paper concerns the expansion of the real ordered additive group by a predicate for a subset of $[0,1]$ whose base-$r$ representations are recognized by a B\"uchi automaton. In the case that this predicate is closed, a dichotomy is…
Recently, Abbadini and Guffanti gave an algebraic proof of Herbrand's theorem using a completion for Lawvere doctrines that freely adds existential and universal quantifiers. A more direct argument can be given by only completing with…
Let $K$ be a countable field. Then $K$ is large in the sense of Pop if and only if it admits a field topology which is "generalized t-henselian" (gt-henselian) in the sense of Dittmann, Walsberg, and Ye, meaning that the implicit function…
We construct a $\kappa-$complete ultrafilter $W$ over $\kappa$ such that $\neg$Gal$(\kappa, W, \kappa^+)$ and Gal$(\kappa, W, \kappa^{++})$. This answers a question of T. Benhamou and G. Goldberg.
Let $\mathcal{SN}$ be the $\sigma$-ideal of the strong measure zero sets of reals. We present general properties of forcing notions that allow to control of the additivity of $\mathcal{SN}$ after finite support iterations. This is applied…
In this paper, we present a new axiomatic system that is a minimal axiomatization of Boolean algebras. Furthermore, the symmetric difference is shown to be algebraically analogous to the modular difference of two numbers. Finally, a new…
In this paper we study expansions of infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces with a unitary representation of a discrete countable group. When the group is finite, we prove the theory of the corresponding expansion, regardless if it is…
Counterfactual reasoning is a foundational topic in both philosophical and logical studies \cite{Stalnaker1968-STAATO-5, Lewis1973-LEWC-2}. A pivotal component of counterfactual analysis is the concept of similarity between possible worlds…
We study the generalized dominating number $\mathfrak{d}_{\mu}$ at a singular cardinal $\mu$ of cofinality $\kappa$. We show two lower bounds: in ZFC, $\mathrm{cf}([\mu]^\kappa,\subseteq) \leq \mathfrak{d}_{\mu}$, and under mild…
Let $M$ be a Fra\"iss\'e structure (a countably infinite ultrahomogeneous structure). We call an embedding $f : A \to M$ extensive if each automorphism of its image extends to an automorphism of $M$, where the extension map respects…
We prove the uniform Lyndon interpolation property (ULIP) of some extensions of the pure logic of necessitation $\mathbf{N}$. For any $m, n \in \mathbb{N}$, $\mathbf{N}^+\mathbf{A}_{m,n}$ is the logic obtained from $\mathbf{N}$ by adding a…
