Unimodularity is localized to a complete stationary type, and its properties are analysed. Some variants of unimodularity for definable and type-definable sets are introduced, and the relationship between these different notions is studied.…

A dependent theory is a (first order complete theory) T which does not have the independence property. A main result here is: if we expand a model of T by the traces on it of sets definable in a bigger model then we preserve its being…

In this paper we define the closure under weak convergence of the class of p-tempered {\alpha}-stable distributions. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of sequences in this class. Moreover, we show that any element…

Cluckers and Lipshitz have shown that real closed fields equipped with real analytic structure are o-minimal. This generalizes the well-known subanalytic structure $\mathbb{R}_{\mathrm{an}}$ on the real numbers. We extend this line of…

We define combinatorial analogues of stable and unstable minimal surfaces in the setting of weighted pseudomanifolds. We prove that, under mild conditions, such combinatorial minimal surfaces always exist. We use a technique, adapted from…

We explore "semibounded" expansions of arbitrary ordered groups; namely, expansions that do not define a field on the whole universe. We show that if $\mathcal R=\langle R, <, +, \dots\rangle$ is a semibounded o-minimal structure and…

Let $f$ be an $R$-closed homeomorphism on a connected orientable closed surface $M$. In this paper, we show that If $M$ has genus more than one, then each minimal set is either a periodic orbit or an extension of a Cantor set. If $M =…

We show that the minimal supergravity extension of the standard model automatically contains topologically stable electroweak strings if the hidden sector is invariant under the exact R-symmetry. These defects appear in the form of the…

We present a relatively simple description of binary, definable subsets of models of weakly quasi-o-minimal theories. In particular, we closely describe definable linear orders and prove a weak version of the monotonicity theorem. We also…

For the Ekpyrotic universe, the entropic mechanisms with minimal couplings, which have been used to generate nearly scale invariant primordial perturbations, was proved to be unstable. To overcome this difficulty, some non-minimal coupling…

We investigate some fundamental features of a class of non-linear relativistic lagrangian field theories with kinetic self-coupling. We focus our attention upon theories admitting static, spherically symmetric solutions in three space…

We consider definable topological spaces of dimension one in o-minimal structures, and state several equivalent conditions for when such a topological space $\left(X,\tau\right)$ is definably homeomorphic to an affine definable space…

Models of closed superstrings in certain curved NS-NS magnetic flux backgrounds are exactly solvable in terms of free fields. They interpolate between free superstring theories with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions for fermions…

In this lecture we outline the main results of our investigations of certain field-theoretic systems which have V-shaped field potential. After presenting physical examples of such systems, we show that in static problems the exact ground…

We consider a class of stable smoothable n-dimensional varieties, the analogs of stable curves. Assuming the minimal model program in dimension n+1, we prove that this class is bounded. From Kollar's method of constructing projective moduli…

Let K be the function field of a connected regular scheme S of dimension 1, and let f : X -> Y be a finite cover of projective smooth and geometrically connected curves over K with g(X) greater or equal to 2. Suppose that f can be extended…

For a given d-minimal expansion $\mathfrak R$ of the ordered real field, we consider the expansion $\mathfrak R^\natural$ of $\mathfrak R$ generated by the sets of the form $\bigcup_{S \in \mathcal C}S$, where $\mathcal C$ is a subfamily of…

We develop the machinery of indiscernible subspaces in continuous theories of expansions of Banach spaces, showing that any such theory has an indiscernible subspace and therefore an indiscernible set. We extend a result of Shelah and…

This paper deals with the class of existentially closed models of fields with a distinguished submodule (over a fixed subring). In the positive characteristic case, this class is elementary and was investigated by the first-named author.…

We study the properties of algebraic independence and pointwise algebraic independence in a class of continuous theories, the randomizations $T^R$ of complete first order theories $T$. If algebraic and definable closure coincide in $T$,…
