An analysis of the logic of Riesz Spaces with strong unit
We study \L ukasiewicz logic enriched with a scalar multiplication with
scalars taken in . Its algebraic models, called {\em Riesz MV-algebras},
are, up to isomorphism, unit intervals of Riesz spaces with a strong unit
endowed with an appropriate structure. When only rational scalars are
considered, one gets the class of {\em DMV-algebras} and a corresponding
logical system. Our research follows two objectives. The first one is to deepen
the connections between functional analysis and the logic of Riesz MV-algebras.
The second one is to study the finitely presented MV-algebras, DMV-algebras and
Riesz MV-algebras, connecting them from logical, algebraic and geometric
perspective
Enriched Stone-type dualities
A common feature of many duality results is that the involved equivalence
functors are liftings of hom-functors into the two-element space resp. lattice.
Due to this fact, we can only expect dualities for categories cogenerated by
the two-element set with an appropriate structure. A prime example of such a
situation is Stone's duality theorem for Boolean algebras and Boolean
spaces,the latter being precisely those compact Hausdorff spaces which are
cogenerated by the two-element discrete space. In this paper we aim for a
systematic way of extending this duality theorem to categories including all
compact Hausdorff spaces. To achieve this goal, we combine duality theory and
quantale-enriched category theory. Our main idea is that, when passing from the
two-element discrete space to a cogenerator of the category of compact
Hausdorff spaces, all other involved structures should be substituted by
corresponding enriched versions. Accordingly, we work with the unit interval
and present duality theory for ordered and metric compact Hausdorff
spaces and (suitably defined) finitely cocomplete categories enriched in
Representation of States on Effect-Tribes and Effect Algebras by Integrals
We describe -additive states on effect-tribes by integrals.
Effect-tribes are monotone -complete effect algebras of functions where
operations are defined by points. Then we show that every state on an effect
algebra is an integral through a Borel regular probability measure. Finally, we
show that every -convex combination of extremal states on a monotone
-complete effect algebra is a Jauch-Piron state.Comment: 20 page
Tameness in generalized metric structures
We broaden the framework of metric abstract elementary classes (mAECs) in
several essential ways, chiefly by allowing the metric to take values in a
well-behaved quantale. As a proof of concept we show that the result of Boney
and Zambrano on (metric) tameness under a large cardinal assumption holds in
this more general context. We briefly consider a further generalization to
partial metric spaces, and hint at connections to classes of fuzzy structures,
and structures on sheaves
Definable equivalence relations and zeta functions of groups
We prove that the theory of the -adics admits elimination
of imaginaries provided we add a sort for for each . We also prove that the elimination of
imaginaries is uniform in . Using -adic and motivic integration, we
deduce the uniform rationality of certain formal zeta functions arising from
definable equivalence relations. This also yields analogous results for
definable equivalence relations over local fields of positive characteristic.
The appendix contains an alternative proof, using cell decomposition, of the
rationality (for fixed ) of these formal zeta functions that extends to the
subanalytic context.
As an application, we prove rationality and uniformity results for zeta
functions obtained by counting twist isomorphism classes of irreducible
representations of finitely generated nilpotent groups; these are analogous to
similar results of Grunewald, Segal and Smith and of du Sautoy and Grunewald
for subgroup zeta functions of finitely generated nilpotent groups.Comment: 89 pages. Various corrections and changes. To appear in J. Eur. Math.

Lukasiewicz logic and Riesz spaces
We initiate a deep study of {\em Riesz MV-algebras} which are MV-algebras
endowed with a scalar multiplication with scalars from . Extending
Mundici's equivalence between MV-algebras and -groups, we prove that
Riesz MV-algebras are categorically equivalent with unit intervals in Riesz
spaces with strong unit. Moreover, the subclass of norm-complete Riesz
MV-algebras is equivalent with the class of commutative unital C-algebras.
The propositional calculus that has Riesz MV-algebras as
models is a conservative extension of \L ukasiewicz -valued
propositional calculus and it is complete with respect to evaluations in the
standard model . We prove a normal form theorem for this logic,
extending McNaughton theorem for \L ukasiewicz logic. We define the notions of
quasi-linear combination and quasi-linear span for formulas in and we relate them with the analogue of de Finetti's coherence
