Abstract

We define the notion of a smooth pseudo-Riemannian algebraic variety (X,g)(X,g) over a field kk of characteristic 00, which is an algebraic analogue of the notion of Riemannian manifold and we study, from a model-theoretic perspective, the algebraic differential equation describing the geodesics on (X,g)(X,g). When kk is the field of real numbers, we prove that if the real points of XX are Zariski-dense in XX and if the real analytification of (X,g)(X,g) is a compact Riemannian manifold with negative curvature, then the algebraic differential equation describing the geodesics on (X,g)(X,g) is absolutely irreducible and its generic type is orthogonal to the constants.
