A scoop from groups: equational foundations for loops

Phillips, J. D., Petr Vojtěchovský (2008)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Groups are usually axiomatized as algebras with an associative binary operation, a two-sided neutral element, and with two-sided inverses. We show in this note that the same simplicity of axioms can be achieved for some of the most important varieties of loops. In particular, we investigate loops of Bol-Moufang type in the underlying variety of magmas with two-sided inverses, and obtain ``group-like'' equational bases for Moufang, Bol and C-loops. We also discuss the case when the inverses are only...

A theorem on generic intersections in an o-minimal structure

Krzysztof Jan Nowak (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Consider a transitive definable action of a Lie group G on a definable manifold M. Given two (locally) definable subsets A and B of M, we prove that the dimension of the intersection σ(A) ∩ B is not greater than the expected one for a generic σ ∈ G.

A viewpoint on amalgamation classes

Silvia Barbina, Domenico Zambella (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We give a self-contained introduction to universal homogeneous models (also known as rich models) in a general context where the notion of morphism is taken as primitive. We produce an example of an amalgamation class where each connected component has a saturated rich model but the theory of the rich models is not model-complete.
