La logique continue des corps globalement valu\'es
Abstract
The continuous logic of globally valued fields -- A globally valued field is a field endowed with a family of absolute values that satisfy a product formula. Number fields and function fields in one variable give classical and fundamental examples; Nevanlinna theory also gives rise to such structures on the field of meromorphic functions on . These globally valued fields can be studied in the context of continuous logic (for which the predicates are real valued), and such a study has been undertaken some 10 years ago by Ben Yaacov and Hrushovski, thus providing a model-theoretic framework for the diophantine theory of heights. One of the first fundamental results in the tehory states the the field of algebraic numbers, with its essentially unique structure of a globally valued field, is existentially closed: every system involving polynomial equalities and inequalities, as well as strict inequalities in heights, possesses a solution in algebraic numbers as soon as it possesses some solution in a globally valued extension. The proof, due to Szachniewicz, is inspired by the proof proposed by Ben Yaacov and Hrushovski in the case of function fields: the latter used in a crucial way the description by Boucksom, Demailly, P\u aun and Peternell of the cone of mobile curves in a complex projective variety, the case of number fields relies on recent results in Arakelov geometry.
