We study problems concerning the Samuel compactification of the automorphism group of a countable first-order structure. A key motivating question is a problem of Furstenberg and a counter-conjecture by Pestov regarding the difference…
We prove a number of results motivated by global questions of uniformity in computability theory, and universality of countable Borel equivalence relations. Our main technical tool is a game for constructing functions on free products of…
We introduce the theory of generalised ultracategories, these are relational extensions to ultracategories as defined by Lurie. An essential example of generalised ultracategories are topological spaces, and these play a fundamental role in…
We introduce the notions of categorical integrals and categorical cointegrals of a finite tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ by using a certain adjunction between $\mathcal{C}$ and its Drinfeld center $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C})$. These notions…
We prove a model theoretic Baire category theorem for $\tilde\tau_{low}^f$-sets in a countable simple theory in which the extension property is first-order and show some of its applications. We also prove a trichotomy for minimal types in…
This paper examines the category theory of stratified set theory (NF and KF). We work out the properties of the relevant categories of sets, and introduce a functorial analogue to Specker's T-operation. Such a development leads one to…
We investigate the local topological structure of non-metrizable topological groups through the lens of Tukey order and cofinal types. Motivated by recent advances in topological groups admitting an $\omega^\omega$-base, we introduce the…
We give a categorical explanation for many properties of profinite coproducts of profinite groups, which were previously proven on a case-by-case basis. All of these properties take the form "certain functors preserve profinite coproducts".…
We prove a result of equivalence invariance of formal category theory for statements that can be expressed within an equipment. To do this, we exploit Henry and Bardomiano Mart\'inez's link between Makkai's FOLDS (first order logic with…
Definite descriptions are first-order expressions that denote unique objects. In this paper, we propose a second-order counterpart, designed to refer to unique relations between objects. We investigate this notion within the framework of…
We show that Martin Hyland's effective topos can be exhibited as the homotopy category of a path category $\mathbb{EFF}$. Path categories are categories of fibrant objects in the sense of Brown satisfying two additional properties and as…
In the first part of this paper, we develop a general framework that permits a comparison between explicit class field theories for a family of rational function fields $\mathbb{F}_s(t)$ over arbitrary constant fields $\mathbb{F}_s$ and…
We extend the logical categories framework to first order modal logic. In our modal categories, modal operators are applied directly to subobjects and interact with the background factorization system. We prove a Joyal-style representation…
We develop first steps in the study of factorizations of elements in ultraproducts of commutative cancellative monoids into irreducible elements. A complete characterization of the (multi-)sets of lengths in such objects is given. As…
We introduce Gowers--Matet forcing with a finite sequence of pairwise non-isomorphic Ramsey ultrafilters over $\omega$, and with this forcing we settle the long-standing problem of the spectrum of numbers near-coherence classes. We prove…
A general method for constructing a new class of topological Ramsey spaces is presented. Members of such spaces are infinite sequences of products of Fra\"iss\'e classes of finite relational structures satisfying the Ramsey property. The…
We investigate the structure of the Tukey types of ultrafilters on countable sets partially ordered by reverse inclusion. A canonization of cofinal maps from a p-point into another ultrafilter is obtained. This is used in particular to…
This paper contributes to a theory of the behaviour of "finite-state" systems that is generic in the system type. We propose that such systems are modelled as coalgebras with a finitely generated carrier for an endofunctor on a locally…
After a brief review of recent rigorous results concerning the representation theory of rational chiral conformal field theories (RCQFTs) we focus on pairs (A,F) of conformal field theories, where F has a finite group G of global symmetries…
J{\'o}nsson and Tarski's notion of the perfect extension of a Boolean algebra with operators has evolved into an extensive theory of canonical extensions of lattice-based algebras. After reviewing this evolution we make two contributions.…
