We study the computational complexity of deciding whether a given set of term equalities and inequalities has a solution in an $omega$-categorical algebra $mathfrak{A}$. There are $omega$-categorical groups where this problem is undecidable. We show that if $mathfrak{A}$ is an $omega$-categorical semilattice or an abelian group, then the problem is in P or NP-hard. The hard cases are precisely those where Pol$(mathfrak{A}, eq)$ has a uniformly continuous minor-preserving map to the clone of projections on a two-element set. The results provide information about algebras $mathfrak{A}$ such that Pol$(mathfrak{A}, eq)$ does not satisfy this condition, and they are of independent interest in universal algebra. In our proofs we rely on the Barto-Pinsker theorem about the existence of pseudo-Siggers polymorphisms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the pseudo-Siggers identity has been used to prove a complexity dichotomy.

This paper investigates the computational complexity of deciding if a given finite idempotent algebra has a ternary term operation $m$ that satisfies the minority equations $m(y,x,x) approx m(x,y,x) approx m(x,x,y) approx y$. We show that a common po lynomial-time approach to testing for this type of condition will not work in this case and that this decision problem lies in the class NP.
Robin Hirsch posed in 1996 the Really Big Complexity Problem: classify the computational complexity of the network satisfaction problem for all finite relation algebras $bf A$. We provide a complete classification for the case that $bf A$ is symmetri c and has a flexible atom; the problem is in this case NP-complete or in P. If a finite integral relation algebra has a flexible atom, then it has a normal representation $mathfrak{B}$. We can then study the computational complexity of the network satisfaction problem of ${bf A}$ using the universal-algebraic approach, via an analysis of the polymorphisms of $mathfrak{B}$. We also use a Ramsey-type result of Nev{s}etv{r}il and Rodl and a complexity dichotomy result of Bulatov for conservative finite-domain constraint satisfaction problems.
A categorical theory for the discretization of a large class of dynamical systems with variable coefficients is proposed. It is based on the existence of covariant functors between the Rota category of Galois differential algebras and suitable catego ries of abstract dynamical systems. The integrable maps obtained share with their continuous counterparts a large class of solutions and, in the linear case, the Picard-Vessiot group.

Fix 2<n<omega. Let L_n denote first order logic restricted to the first n variables. CA_n denotes the class of cylindric algebras of dimension n and for m>n, Nr_nCA_m(subseteq CA_n) denotes the class of n-neat reducts of CA_ms. The existence of certa in finite relation algebras and finite CA_ns lacking relativized complete representations is shown to imply that the omitting types theorem (OTT) fails for L_n with respect to clique guarded semantics (which is an equivalent formalism of its packed fragments), and for the multi-dimensional modal logic S5^n. Several such relation and cylindric algebras are explicitly exhibited using rainbow constructions and Monk-like algebras. Certain CA_n constructed to show non-atom canonicity of the variety SNr_nCA_{n+3} are used to show that Vaughts theorem (VT) for L_{omega, omega}, looked upon as a special case of OTT for L_{omega, omega}, fails almost everywhere (a notion to be defined below) when restricted to L_n. That VT fails everywhere for L_n, which is stronger than failing almost everywhere as the name suggests, is reduced to the existence, for each n<m<omega, of a finite relation algebra R_m having a so-called m-1 strong blur, but R_m has no m-dimensional relational basis. VT for other modal fragments and expansions of L_n, like its guarded fragments, n-products of uni-modal logics like K^n, and first order definable expansions, is approached. It is shown that any multi-modal canonical logic L, such that $K^nsubseteq Lsubseteq S5^n$, L cannot be axiomatized by canonical equations. In particular, L is not Sahlqvist. Elementary generation and di-completeness for L_n and its clique guarded fragments are proved. Positive omitting types theorems are proved for L_n with respect to standard semantics.
A sibling of a relational structure $R$ is any structure $S$ which can be embedded into $R$ and, vice versa, in which $R$ can be embedded. Let $sib(R)$ be the number of siblings of $R$, these siblings being counted up to isomorphism. Thomasse conject ured that for countable relational structures made of at most countably many relations, $sib(R)$ is either $1$, countably infinite, or the size of the continuum; but even showing the special case $sib(R)=1$ or infinite is unsettled when $R$ is a countable tree. This is related to Bonato-Tardif conjecture asserting that for every tree $T$ the number of trees which are sibling of $T$ is either one or infinite. We prove that if $R$ is countable and $aleph_{0}$-categorical, then indeed $sib(R)$ is one or infinite. Furthermore, $sib(R)$ is one if and only if $R$ is finitely partitionable in the sense of Hodkinson and Macpherson. The key tools in our proof are the notion of monomorphic decomposition of a relational structure introduced in a paper by Pouzet and Thiery 2013 and studied further by Oudrar and Pouzet 2015, and a result of Frasnay 1984.
