A characterization of Ext(G,ℤ) assuming (V = L)

Saharon Shelah, Lutz Strüngmann (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We complete the characterization of Ext(G,ℤ) for any torsion-free abelian group G assuming Gödel’s axiom of constructibility plus there is no weakly compact cardinal. In particular, we prove in (V = L) that, for a singular cardinal ν of uncountable cofinality which is less than the first weakly compact cardinal and for every sequence ( ν p : p Π ) of cardinals satisfying ν p 2 ν (where Π is the set of all primes), there is a torsion-free abelian group G of size ν such that ν p equals the p-rank of Ext(G,ℤ) for every...

A decomposition of a set definable in an o-minimal structure into perfectly situated sets

Wiesław Pawłucki (2002)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

A definable subset of a Euclidean space X is called perfectly situated if it can be represented in some linear system of coordinates as a finite union of (graphs of) definable 𝓒¹-maps with bounded derivatives. Two subsets of X are called simply separated if they satisfy the Łojasiewicz inequality with exponent 1. We show that every closed definable subset of X of dimension k can be decomposed into a finite family of closed definable subsets each of which is perfectly situated and such that any...

A failure of quantifier elimination.

Angus Macintyre, David Marker (1997)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We show that log is needed to eliminate quantifiers in the theory of the real numbers with restricted analytic functions and exponentiation.

A family of 2 1 logarithmic functions of distinct growth rates

Salma Kuhlmann (2010)

Open Mathematics

We construct a totally ordered set Γ of positive infinite germs (i.e. germs of positive real-valued functions that tend to +∞), with order type being the lexicographic product ℵ1 × ℤ2. We show that Γ admits 2 1 order preserving automorphisms of pairwise distinct growth rates.

A first-order version of Pfaffian closure

Sergio Fratarcangeli (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The purpose of this paper is to extend a theorem of Speissegger [J. Reine Angew. Math. 508 (1999)], which states that the Pfaffian closure of an o-minimal expansion of the real field is o-minimal. Specifically, we display a collection of properties possessed by the real numbers that suffices for a version of the proof of this theorem to go through. The degree of flexibility revealed in this study permits the use of certain model-theoretic arguments for the first time, e.g. the compactness theorem....

A fixed point theorem in o-minimal structures

Mário J. Edmundo (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Here we prove an o-minimal fixed point theorem for definable continuous maps on definably compact definable sets, generalizing Brumfiel’s version of the Hopf fixed point theorem for semi-algebraic maps.

A fully equational proof of Parikh’s theorem

Luca Aceto, Zoltán Ésik, Anna Ingólfsdóttir (2002)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We show that the validity of Parikh’s theorem for context-free languages depends only on a few equational properties of least pre-fixed points. Moreover, we exhibit an infinite basis of μ -term equations of continuous commutative idempotent semirings.
