Book Review: Existentially closed groups
1990
Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
After some preliminaries, Chapters 5 and 6 develop some algebraic applications of the Higman embedding theorem and its generalized version (which is deduced in the text). ...
An existentially closed structure E for a class of algebraic systems S is a sort of "universal structure for Z-relations" in the sense that £EI and every finite set of equalities and inequalities (that ...

We suggest certain general conditions on K under which (1) the Higman theorem implies the generalized Higman theorem; (2) a finitely generated K-algebra A is embeddable into every existen- tially closed ...

On countable locally described structures
1987
Annals of Pure and Applied Logic
The main theorems of the general theory give characterizations for (1) the uniqueness, up to isomorphism, of the countable closed structure and (2) the existence of a countable saturated structure. ...
In LX we study (1) closed structures also known as basically saturated structures which are algebraic analogues of existentially closed structures and (2) saturated structures which are algebraic analogues ...
A closed structure is existentially closed. Therefore, in a closed group G in Nc + the upper and lower central series coincide [20, Theorem 1] . ...

Introduction to Sofic and Hyperlinear groups and Connes' embedding conjecture

2015
arXiv
pre-print
The aim of these notes is to present in a uniform and accessible way some cornerstone results in the study of sofic and hyperlinear groups and the Connes embedding conjecture. ...
In this case the famous conjecture due to Connes (commonly known as the Connes embedding conjecture) that any II_1 factor can be approximated in a suitable sense by matrix algebras inspired several breakthroughs ...
This is the content of a theorem proven in the setting of the usual first order logic by Loś in [109] . Its generalization to the logic for metric structures can be found in [13] (Theorem 5.4). ...

We prove a general characterisation of piecewise testable separability on languages in a well-quasiorder, in terms of ideals of the ordering. ...
In the case of finite ranked trees ordered by homeomorphic embedding, we show using effective representations for tree ideals that it entails the decidability of piecewise testable separability when the ...

In this paper we survey wqo and bqo theory from the reverse mathematics perspective. ...
We consider both elementary results (such as the equivalence of different definitions of the concepts, and basic closure properties) and more advanced theorems. ...
To prove our theorem first notice that Kruskal's theorem generalizes Higman's theorem, so that we can argue in ACA 0 . ...

The word problem for discrete groups is well-known to be undecidable by a Turing Machine; more precisely, it is reducible both to and from and thus equivalent to the discrete Halting Problem. ...
