    Abstract

    In this paper, the connections between model theory and the theory of
    infinite permutation groups are used to study the n-existence and the
    n-uniqueness for n-amalgamation problems of stable theories. We show that, for
    any n>1, there exists a stable theory having (k+1)-existence and k-uniqueness,
    for every k<n+1, but that does not have neither (n+2)-existence nor
    (n+1)-uniqueness. In particular, this generalizes the example, for n=2, due to
    E.Hrushovski given in [3].

  2. Second cohomology groups and finite covers.

    Abstract

    For D an infinite set, k>1 and W the set of k-sets from D, there is a natural
    closed permutation group G_k which is a non-split extension of \mathbb{Z}_2^W
    by \Sym(D). We classify the closed subgroups of G_k which project onto
    \Sym(D)$. The question arises in model theory as a problem about finite covers,
    but here we formulate and solve it in algebraic terms.
