On Ø-definable elements in a field

Apoloniusz Tyszka (2007)

Collectanea Mathematica

We develop an arithmetic characterization of elements in a field which are first-order definable by a parameter-free existential formula in the language of rings. As applications we show that in fields containing any algebraically closed field only the elements of the prime field are existentially ∅-definable. On the other hand, many finitely generated extensins of Q contain existentially ∅-definable elements which are transcendental over Q. Finally, we show that all transcendental elements in...

On the existence of super-decomposable pure-injective modules over strongly simply connected algebras of non-polynomial growth

Stanisław Kasjan, Grzegorz Pastuszak (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Assume that k is a field of characteristic different from 2. We show that if Γ is a strongly simply connected k-algebra of non-polynomial growth, then there exists a special family of pointed Γ-modules, called an independent pair of dense chains of pointed modules. Then it follows by a result of Ziegler that Γ admits a super-decomposable pure-injective module if k is a countable field.

On the problem of axiomatization of tame representation type

Stanisław Kasjan (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Associative algebras of fixed dimension over algebraically closed fields of fixed characteristic are considered. It is proved that the class of algebras of tame representation type is axiomatizable. Moreover, finite axiomatizability of this class is equivalent to the conjecture that the algebras of tame representation type form a Zariski-open subset in the variety of algebras.
