I know that it is impossible to axiomatize the multiplicative structures of rings, called $R$-semigroups. Is anything known about the first-order axiomatizability of the class of abelian groups which ...

Consider the integers as a first-order structure in the language {0,+,-} of abelian groups. I suspect that the collection of definable subsets (without parameters) of this structure is an algebra ...

This is a model-theoretic questions. Let $M$ be a $R$-module. Our language will be the standard language of modules, i.e. the language of abelian groups together with an unary function symbol for ...

I remember reading an article published in the 1970s by a Polish mathematician describing the first-order invariants of a torsion-free abelian group. I do not recollect the author's name, the title of ...
