The question about elementary equivalence of free products
Let $A,B,C,D$ be algebraic systems and $A$ and $B$ be elementary equivalent as well as $C$ and $D$. Are free products of $A,C$ and $B,D$ elementary equivalent if
$A,B,C,D$ are groups, or
$A,B,C,D$ ...

Shape of axioms in algebraic structures
When defining algebraic structures (like monoids, groups, etc...), are there some constraints on the shape of the axioms, for the structure to have good properties that we implicitly use in many ...
