Abstract

Given an o-minimal expansion RA\mathbb{R}_{\mathcal{A}} of the real ordered field, generated by a generalized quasianalytic class A\mathcal{A}, we construct an explicit truncation closed ordered differential field embedding of the Hardy field of the expansion RA,exp\mathbb{R}_{\mathcal{A},\exp} of RA\mathbb{R}_{\mathcal{A}} by the unrestricted exponential function, into the field T\mathbb{T} of transseries. We use this to prove some non-definability results. In particular, we show that the restriction to the positive half-line of Euler's Gamma function is not definable in the structure Ran,exp\mathbb{R}_{\text{an}^{*},\exp}, generated by all convergent generalized power series and the exponential function, thus establishing the non-interdefinability of the restrictions to a neighbourhood of ++\infty of Euler's Gamma and of the Riemann Zeta function.
