In the context of Hilbert's tenth problem, an outstanding open case is that of complex entire functions in one variable. A negative solution is known for polynomials (by Denef) and for exponential polynomials of finite order (by Chompitaki, Garcia-Fritz, Pasten, Pheidas, and Vidaux), but no other case is known for rings of complex entire functions in one variable. We prove a negative solution to the analogue of Hilbert's tenth problem for rings of complex entire functions of finite order having lacunary power series expansion at the origin.

The variety of weak Heyting algebras was introduced in 2005 by Celani and Jansana. This corresponds to the strict implication fragment of the normal modal logic $�K$ which is also known as the subintuitionistic local consequence of the class of all Kripke models. Subresiduated lattices are a generalization of Heyting algebras and particular cases of weak Heyting algebras. They were introduced during the 1970s by Epstein and Horn as an algebraic counterpart of some logics with strong implication previously studied by Lewy and Hacking. In this paper we study the class of implicative-infimum subreducts of weak Heyting algebras. In particular, we prove that this class is a variety by giving an equational base for it. We also present a topological duality for the algebraic category whose objects are the implicative-infimum subreducts of subresiduated lattices.

Let $�A$ be a countable structure such that each finite partial isomorphism of it can be extended to an automorphism. Evans asked if the age (set of finite substructures) of $�A$ satisfies Hrushovski's extension property, then is it true that the automorphism group $���Aut��\left(�A�\right)�$ of $�A$ contains a dense, locally finite subgroup? In order to investigate this question, in the previous decades a coherent variant of Hrushovski's extension property has been introduced and studied. Among other results, we provide equivalent conditions for the existence of a dense, locally finite subgroup of $���Aut��\left(�A�\right)�$ in terms of a (new) variant of the coherent extension property. We also compare our notion with other coherent extension properties.

We apply the mereological concept of parthood to the coding of finite sequences. We propose a first-order theory in which coding finite sequences is intuitive and transparent. We compare this theory with Robinson arithmetic, adjunctive set theory and weak theories of finite strings and finite trees using interpretability.

We provide two proofs of the compactness theorem for extensions of first-order logic based on team semantics. First, we build upon Lück's [16] ultraproduct construction for team semantics and prove a suitable version of Łoś' Theorem. Second, we show that by working with suitably saturated models, we can generalize the proof of Kontinen and Yang [13] to sets of formulas with arbitrarily many variables.

Starting from the generalized continuum hypothesis ($�\mathrm{GCH}$), we build a cardinal and $�\mathrm{GCH}$ preserving generic extension of the universe, in which there exists a set $��A�\subseteq �{\omega }_2�$ of size $�{\aleph }_2$ so that every countably infinite subset of $�A$ or $��{\omega }_2�\setminus �A�$ is Cohen generic over the ground model.
