We show that the first-order logical theory of the binary overlap-free words (and, more generally, the ${\alpha}$-free words for rational ${\alpha}$, $2 < {\alpha} \leq 7/3$), is decidable. As a consequence, many results previously obtained…

A family $\mathscr{I} \subseteq [\omega]^\omega$ such that for all finite $\{X_i\}_{i\in n}\subseteq \mathcal I$ and $A \in \mathscr{I} \setminus \{X_i\}_{i\in n}$, the set $A \setminus \bigcup_{i < n} X_i$ is infinite, is said to be ideal…

Let $\mathcal{F}=\{F_{\alpha}: \alpha\in \mathcal{A}\}$ be a family of infinite graphs, together with $\Lambda$. The Factorization Problem $FP(\mathcal{F}, \Lambda)$ asks whether $\mathcal{F}$ can be realized as a factorization of…

For a group G and an element a in G let |a|_k denote the cardinality of the set of commutators [a,x_1,...,x_k], where x_1,...,x_k range over G. The main result of the paper states that a group G is finite-by-nilpotent if and only if there…

We call a subset of an ordinal $\lambda$ recognizable if it is the unique subset $x$ of $\lambda$ for which some Turing machine with ordinal time and tape, which halts for all subsets of $\lambda$ as input, halts with the final state $0$.…

We calculate the possible Scott ranks of countable models of Peano arithmetic. We show that no non-standard model can have Scott rank less than $\omega$ and that non-standard models of true arithmetic must have Scott rank greater than…

$\mathop{\rm rp}\nolimits ({\mathbb B})$ denotes the reduced power ${\mathbb B}^\omega /\Phi$ of a Boolean algebra ${\mathbb B}$, where $\Phi$ is the Fr\'{e}chet filter $\Phi$ on $\omega$. We investigate iterated reduced powers…

(1) Let 1\leq k\leq \omega. Call an atom structure \alpha weakly k neat representable, the term algebra is in \RCA_n\cap \Nr_n\CA_{n+k}, but the complex algebra is not representable. Call an atom structure neat if there is an atomic algebra…

In this paper we consider big Ramsey degrees of finite chains in countable ordinals. We prove that a countable ordinal has finite big Ramsey degrees if and only if it is smaller than $\omega^\omega$. Big Ramsey degrees of finite chains in…

We sow that there exists a generic extension of the G\"{o}del's constructible universe in which diamond holds and there exists a subset $Y \subseteq \omega_1$ such that for stationary many $\delta < \omega_1,$ the set $Y \cap \delta$ is not…

An abelian group is said to be aleph_1-free if all its countable subgroups are free. Our main result is: If R is a ring with R^+ free and |R|<lambda <= 2^{aleph_0}, then there exists an aleph_1-free abelian group G of cardinality lambda…

We study connections between definability in generalized descriptive set theory and large cardinals, under ZFC. We show that if $\kappa$ is a limit of measurables then there is no wellorder of a subset of $P(\kappa)$ of length…

A result of Kaufmann shows that if $L_\alpha$ is countable, admissible and satisfies $\Pi_n\textsf{-Collection}$, then $\langle L_\alpha, \in \rangle$ has a proper $\Sigma_{n+1}$-elementary end extension. This paper investigates to what…

We give an alternative presentation of the ordinal notation at the strength of $\Pi^1_1-CA_0$ which allows the "uncountable" notation $\Omega$ to be interpreted "polymorphically" - that is, we allow the notation to be interpreted as…

Let $a(\lambda)$ and $b(\lambda)$ be two polynomials with coefficients in complex numbers and let $f_{\lamb$ be a one-parameter family of polynomials indexed by all complex numbers $\lambda$. We study whether there exist infinitely many…

The Proper Forcing Axiom implies that compact Hausdorff spaces are either first-countable or contain a converging $\omega_1$-sequence.

Schinzel and W\'ojcik have shown that if $\alpha, \beta$ are rational numbers not $0$ or $\pm 1$, then $\mathrm{ord}_p(\alpha)=\mathrm{ord}_p(\beta)$ for infinitely many primes $p$, where $\mathrm{ord}_p(\cdot)$ denotes the order in…

Let G be a group and let O_G denote the set of left orderings on G. Then O_G can be topologized in a natural way, and we shall study this topology to answer three conjectures. In particular we shall show that O_G can never be countably…

A family $\mathcal{A} \subseteq [\omega]^\omega$ such that for all finite $\{X_i\}_{i\in n}\subseteq \mathcal A$ and $A \in \mathcal{A} \setminus \{X_i\}_{i\in n}$, the set $A \setminus \bigcup_{i \in n} X_i$ is infinite, is said to be…

Let $\mathcal{I}$ be an ideal on $\omega$. For $f,g\in\omega^\omega$ we write $f \leq_{\mathcal{I}} g$ if $f(n) \leq g(n)$ for all $n\in\omega\setminus A$ with some $A\in\mathcal{I}$. Moreover, we denote…
