We give a ranker-based description using finite-index congruences for the variety $\boldsymbol{\mathrm{DAb}}$ of finite monoids whose regular $\mathcal{D}$-classes form Abelian groups. This combinatorial description yields a normal form for…
Given a group-word w and a group G, the verbal subgroup w(G) is the one generated by all w-values in G. The word w is called concise if w(G) is finite whenever the set of w-values in G is finite. It is an open question whether every word is…
We study the sets of the infinite sentences constructible with a dictionary over a finite alphabet, from the viewpoint of descriptive set theory. Among other things, this gives some true co-analytic sets. The case where the dictionary is…
Given a finite alphabet $\Sigma$ and a right-infinite word $w$ over the alphabet $\Sigma$, we construct a topological space ${\rm Rec}(w)$ consisting of all right-infinite recurrent words whose factors are all factors of $w$, where we work…
In a recent paper, Brlek, Jamet and Paquin showed that some extremal infinite smooth words are also infinite Lyndon words. This result raises a natural question: are they the only ones? If no, what do the infinite smooth words that are also…
We prove that for every indecomposable ordinal there exists a (transfinitely valued) Euclidean domain whose minimal Euclidean norm is of that order type. Conversely, any such norm must have indecomposable type, and so we completely…
The notion of inverse Lyndon word is related to the classical notion of Lyndon word. More precisely, inverse Lyndon words are all and only the nonempty prefixes of the powers of the anti-Lyndon words, where an anti-Lyndon word with respect…
We propose a purely extensional semantics for higher-order logic programming. In this semantics program predicates denote sets of ordered tuples, and two predicates are equal iff they are equal as sets. Moreover, every program has a unique…
We show that there exists an uniformly recurrent infinite word whose set of factors is closed under reversal and which has only finitely many palindromic factors.
For a given language $L$, we study the languages $X$ such that for all distinct words $u, v \in L$, there exists a word $x \in X$ that appears a different number of times as a factor in $u$ and in $v$. In particular, we are interested in…
A double occurrence word $w$ over a finite alphabet $\Sigma$ is a word in which each alphabet letter appears exactly twice. Such words arise naturally in the study of topology, graph theory, and combinatorics. Recently, double occurrence…
A set of integers $S \subset \mathbb{N}$ is an $\alpha$-strong Sidon set if the pairwise sums of its elements are far apart by a certain measure depending on $\alpha$, more specifically if $| (x+w) - (y+z) | \geq \max \{…
We prove that for any distinct $x,y \in \{0,1\}^n$, there is a deterministic finite automaton with $\widetilde{O}(n^{1/3})$ states that accepts $x$ but not $y$. This improves Robson's 1989 upper bound of $\widetilde{O}(n^{2/5})$.
Let $X=(X_i)_{i\ge 1}$ and $Y=(Y_i)_{i\ge 1}$ be two sequences of independent and identically distributed (iid) random variables taking their values, uniformly, in a common totally ordered finite alphabet. Let LCI$_n$ be the length of the…
Given a bi-order $\succ$ on the free group $\mathcal{F}$, we show that every non-periodic cyclically reduced word $W\in \mathcal{F}$ admits a maximal ascent that is uniquely positioned. This provides a cyclic permutation of $W'$ that…
Assuming that ORD is $\omega +\omega $-Erd\"os we show that if a class forcing amenable to $L$ (an $L$-forcing) has a generic then it has one definable in a set-generic extension of $L[O^\#]$. In fact we may choose such a generic to be {\it…
We consider a language together with the subword relation, the cover relation, and regular predicates. For such structures, we consider the extension of first-order logic by threshold- and modulo-counting quantifiers. Depending on the…
We study the asymptotics and fine-scale behavior of quantitative combinatorial measures of infinite words and related dynamical and algebraic structures. We construct infinite recurrent words $w$ whose complexity functions $p_w(n)$ are…
We investigate infinitary wellfounded systems for linear logic with fixed points, with transfinite branching rules indexed by some closure ordinal $\alpha$ for fixed points. Our main result is that provability in the system for some…
We show that for any finite-rank free group $\Gamma$, any word-equation in one variable of length $n$ with constants in $\Gamma$ fails to be satisfied by some element of $\Gamma$ of word-length $O(\log (n))$. By a result of the first…
