Locally finite profinite rings

We investigate the structure of locally finite profinite rings. We classify (Jacobson-) semisimple locally finite profinite rings as products of complete matrix rings of bounded cardinality over finite fields, and we prove that the Jacobson radical of any locally finite profinite ring is nil of finite nilexponent. Our results apply to the context of small compact $G$-rings, where we also obtain a description of possible actions of $G$ on the underlying ring.Comment: 17 page

Model theory of Galois actions of torsion Abelian groups

We show that the theory of Galois actions of a torsion Abelian group $A$ is companionable if and only if for each prime $p$, the $p$-primary part of $A$ is either finite or it coincides with the Pr\"{u}fer $p$-group. We also provide a model-theoretic description of the model companions we obtain
