Hyperstability and Superstability

Characterization of Hyperstability

A component of the equilibria of a finite game is hyperstable if and only if its index is nonzero.

Superstability of F -structures

The following note is a supplement to [1]. We will maintain the notation of [1] throughout, and all numbered items to which we refer are from that paper. Theorem 6.11 states that if M is a finitely generated R-module then Th(M,F) is stable. As pointed out in Remark 6.12, the proof Theorem 6.11 yields a stronger conclusion: Th(M,F) is superstable. These notes consist of detailed arguments for th...

Superstability of surface nanobubbles.

Shock wave induced cavitation experiments and atomic force microscopy measurements of flat polyamide and hydrophobized silicon surfaces immersed in water are performed. It is shown that surface nanobubbles, present on these surfaces, do not act as nucleation sites for cavitation bubbles, in contrast to the expectation. This implies that surface nanobubbles are not just stable under ambient cond...

Superstability in abstract elementary classes

We prove that several definitions of superstability in abstract elementary classes (AECs) are equivalent under the assumption that the class is stable, tame, has amalgamation, joint embedding, and arbitrarily large models. This partially answers questions of Shelah. Theorem 0.1. Let K be a tame AEC with amalgamation, joint embedding, and arbitrarily large models. Assume K is stable. Then the fo...
