On two tame algebras with super-decomposable pure-injective modules

Stanisław Kasjan, Grzegorz Pastuszak (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let k be a field of characteristic different from 2. We consider two important tame non-polynomial growth algebras: the incidence k-algebra of the garland 𝒢₃ of length 3 and the incidence k-algebra of the enlargement of the Nazarova-Zavadskij poset 𝒩 𝓩 by a greatest element. We show that if Λ is one of these algebras, then there exists a special family of pointed Λ-modules, called an independent pair of dense chains of pointed modules. Hence, by a result of Ziegler, Λ admits a super-decomposable...

Real closed exponential fields

Paola D'Aquino, Julia F. Knight, Salma Kuhlmann, Karen Lange (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Ressayre considered real closed exponential fields and “exponential” integer parts, i.e., integer parts that respect the exponential function. In 1993, he outlined a proof that every real closed exponential field has an exponential integer part. In the present paper, we give a detailed account of Ressayre’s construction and then analyze the complexity. Ressayre’s construction is canonical once we fix the real closed exponential field R, a residue field section k, and a well ordering ≺ on R. The...

Relative geometries

Thomas Blossier, Amador Martin-Pizarro, Frank Olaf Wagner (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

In this paper, we shall study type-definable groups in a simple theory with respect to one or several stable reducts. While the original motivation came from the analysis of definable groups in structures obtained by Hrushovski's amalgamation method, the notions introduced are in fact more general, and in particular can be applied to certain expansions of algebraically closed fields by operators.

Representation-directed algebras form an open scheme

Stanislaw Kasjan (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We apply van den Dries's test to the class of algebras (over algebraically closed fields) which are not representation-directed and prove that this class is axiomatizable by a positive quantifier-free formula. It follows that the representation-directed algebras form an open ℤ-scheme.

Representation-finite triangular algebras form an open scheme

Stanisław Kasjan (2003)

Open Mathematics

Let V be a valuation ring in an algebraically closed field K with the residue field R. Assume that A is a V-order such that the R-algebra Ā obtained from A by reduction modulo the radical of V is triangular and representation-finite. Then the K-algebra KA ≅ A ⊗V is again triangular and representation-finite. It follows by the van den Dries’s test that triangular representation-finite algebras form an open scheme.

S V -Rings and S V -Porings

Niels Schwartz (2010)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

S V -rings are commutative rings whose factor rings modulo prime ideals are valuation rings. S V -rings occur most naturally in connection with partially ordered rings (= porings) and have been studied only in this context so far. The present note first develops the theory of S V -rings systematically, without assuming the presence of a partial order. Particular attention is paid to the question of axiomatizability (in the sense of model theory). Partially ordered S V -rings ( S V -porings) are introduced, and...

Schanuel Nullstellensatz for Zilber fields

Paola D'Aquino, Angus Macintyre, Giuseppina Terzo (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We characterize the unsolvable exponential polynomials over the exponential fields introduced by Zilber, and deduce Picard's Little Theorem for such fields.

Small profinite m-stable groups

Frank O. Wagner (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A small profinite m-stable group has an open abelian subgroup of finite ℳ-rank and finite exponent.

Some (non-)elimination results for curves in geometric structures

Serge Randriambololona, Sergei Starchenko (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that the first order structure whose underlying universe is ℂ and whose basic relations are all algebraic subsets of ℂ² does not have quantifier elimination. Since an algebraic subset of ℂ² is either of dimension ≤ 1 or has a complement of dimension ≤ 1, one can restate the former result as a failure of quantifier elimination for planar complex algebraic curves. We then prove that removing the planarity hypothesis suffices to recover quantifier elimination: the structure with the universe...

Strongly bounded automorphism groups

A. Ivanov (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A group G is strongly bounded if every isometric action of G on a metric space has bounded orbits. We show that the automorphism groups of typical countable structures with the small index property are strongly bounded. In particular we show that this is the case when G is the automorphism group of the countable universal locally finite extension of a periodic abelian group.

Super real closed rings

Marcus Tressl (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A super real closed ring is a commutative ring equipped with the operation of all continuous functions ℝⁿ → ℝ. Examples are rings of continuous functions and super real fields attached to z-prime ideals in the sense of Dales and Woodin. We prove that super real closed rings which are fields are an elementary class of real closed fields which carry all o-minimal expansions of the real field in a natural way. The main part of the paper develops the commutative algebra of super real closed rings, by...
