Retracts of monounary algebras corresponding to groupoids
If G is a group of automorphisms that acts properly discontinuously on a Riemann or Klein surface X, then there exists a unique structure of Riemann or Klein surface on X/G such that the projection π: X → X/G is a morphism. The analogous result is not true when we deal with surfaces with nodes. In this paper we give a new definition of a group that acts properly discontinuously on a surface with nodes in order to obtain a similar theorem.
We show that any open Riemann surface can be properly immersed in any Stein manifold with the (Volume) Density property and of dimension at least 2. If the dimension is at least 3, we can actually choose this immersion to be an embedding. As an application, we show that Stein manifolds with the (Volume) Density property and of dimension at least 3, are characterized among all other complex manifolds by their semigroup of holomorphic endomorphisms.
A G-shift of finite type (G-SFT) is a shift of finite type which commutes with the continuous action of a finite group G. For irreducible G-SFTs we classify right closing almost conjugacy, answering a question of Bill Parry.
If is a group, and the operation is defined by then by direct verification is a quasigroup which satisfies the identity . Conversely, if one starts with a quasigroup satisfying the latter identity the group can be constructed, so that in effect is determined by its right division operation. Here the analogous situation is examined for a Moufang loop. Subtleties arise which are not present in the group case since there is a choice of defining identities and the identities produced by...
We prove a version of Hrushovski's Socle Lemma for rigid groups in an arbitrary simple theory.
