Hyperbolicity and model-complete fields

Logic 2025-05-28 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We study model-complete fields that avoid a given quasi-project variety VV. There is a close connection between hyperbolicity of VV and the existence of the model companion for the theory of characteristic-zero fields avoiding rational points on VV. This gives a model theoretic notion of hyperbolicity that we call excludability. In particular, we show that if VV is a Brody hyperbolic projective variety over Q\mathbb{Q} with V(Q)=V(\mathbb{Q}) = \varnothing, then the model companion, called V\XFV\XF, exists. We also study some model-theoretic properties of VXFV\mathrm{XF}. This extends the results for curves by Will Johnson and the second author.
