"Existentially-atomic models"
We will talk about "Existentially atomic" and "Existentially algebraic" structures. We will give some examples and will show that being existentially algebraic implies being existentially atomic. As a particular example, we will prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a linear ordering to be existentially atomic.

"On *-clean group algebras"
A ring $R$ is called a $*$-ring (or a ring with involution $*$) if there exists an operation $*$: $R \rightarrow R$ such that $(x+y)^*=x^*+y^*, \,\ (xy)^*=y^*x^* \,\ $ and $(x^*)^*=x$,
for all $x, y\in R$. An element in a ring $R$ is called $*$-clean if it is the sum of a unit and a projection ($*$-invariant idempotent). A $*$-ring is called $*$-clean if each of its elements is the sum of a unit and a projection.

"Commuting operators in finite von Neumann algebras"
We find a joint spectral distribution measure for families
of commuting elements of a finite von Neumann algebra. This
generalizes the Brown measure for single operators. Furthermore, we
find a lattice (based on Borel sets) consisting of hyperinvariant
projections that decompose the spectral distribution measure. This
leads to simultaneous upper triangularization results for commuting
operators.
