Abstract

The Pila-Wilkie theorem states that if a set XRnX\subseteq \mathbb R^n is definable in an o-minimal structure R\mathcal R and contains `many' rational points, then it contains an infinite semialgebraic set. In this paper, we extend this theorem to an expansion R~=R,P\widetilde{\mathcal R}=\langle \mathcal R, P\rangle of R\mathcal R by a dense set PP, which is either an elementary substructure of R\mathcal R, or it is independent, as follows. If XX is definable in R~\widetilde{\mathcal R} and contains many rational points, then it is dense in an infinite semialgebraic set. Moreover, it contains an infinite set which is \emptyset-definable in R,P\langle \overline{\mathbb R}, P\rangle, where R\overline {\mathbb R} is the real field.
