A note on definable matchings in o-minimal bipartite graphs

Logic 2023-05-10 v2

Abstract

We consider bipartite graphs definable in o-minimal structures, in which the edge relation GG is a finite union of graphs of certain measure-preserving maps. We establish a fact on the existence of definable matchings with few short augmenting paths. Under the additional assumptions that G[0,1]nG\subseteq [0,1]^n and 2-regularity, this yields the existence of definable matchings covering all vertices outside of a set of arbitrarily small positive measure (Lebesgue measure of the standard part). As an application we obtain an approximate 2-cancellation result for the semigroup of definable subsets of [0,1]n[0,1]^n modulo an equivalence relation induced by measure-preserving maps.
