We characterize the notion of definable compactness for topological spaces definable in o-minimal structures, answering questions of Peterzil and Steinhorn (1999) and Johnson (2018). Specifically, we prove the equivalence of various…

We show that separability and second-countability are first-order properties among topological spaces definable in o-minimal expansions of $(\mathbb{R},<)$. We do so by introducing first-order characterizations -- definable separability and…

We prove that the category of generalized holomorphically contractible families possesses maximal and minimal objects. Moreover, we present basic properties of these extremal families.

We introduce a new covering property, defined in terms of order types of sequences of open sets, rather than in terms of cardinalities of families. The most general form of this compactness notion depends on two ordinal parameters. In the…

Given two rings $R \subseteq S$, $S$ is said to be a minimal ring extension of $R$ if $R$ is a maximal subring of $S$. In this article, we study minimal extensions of an arbitrary ring $R$, with particular focus on those possessing nonzero…

Given an o-minimal structure ${\mathcal M}$ with a group operation, we show that for a properly convex subset $U$, the theory of the expanded structure ${\mathcal M}'=({\mathcal M},U)$ has definable Skolem functions precisely when…

In this note, we use elementary submodels to prove that a separable monotonically normal compactum can be mapped on a separable metric space via a continuous function whose fibers have cardinality at most 2.

We prove that groups definable in o-minimal structures have Cartan subgroups, and only finitely many conjugacy classes of such subgroups. We also delineate with precision how these subgroups cover the ambient group, in general very largely…

The first papers on o-minimal structures appeared in the mid 1980s, since then the subject has grown into a wide ranging generalisation of semialgebraic, subanalytic and subpfaffian geometry. In these notes we try to show that this is in…

We show that every small model category that satisfies certain size conditions can be completed to yield a combinatorial model category, and conversely, every combinatorial model category arises in this way. We will also see that these…

Many systems of structured argumentation explicitly require that the facts and rules that make up the argument for a conclusion be the minimal set required to derive the conclusion. ASPIC+ does not place such a requirement on arguments,…

Let M be a polynomially bounded, o-minimal structure with archimedean prime model, for example if M is a real closed field. Let C be a convex and unbounded subset of M. We determine the first order theory of the structure M expanded by the…

We continue the work from [8] and make a small -- but significant -- improvement to the definition of $j$-decomposable system. This provides us with a better lifting of elementary embeddings to symmetric extensions. In particular, this…

The group configuration in o-minimal structures gives rise, just like in the stable case, to a transitive action of a type-definable group on a partial type. Because $acl=dcl$ the o-minimal proof is significantly simpler than Hrushovski's…

In this paper we prove that for any definable subset $X\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure, with $dim(X)<n$, there is a finite set of regular projections (in the sense of Mostowski ). We give also a weak…

This article derives lower bounds on the supremal (strict) p-negative type of finite metric spaces using purely elementary techniques. The bounds depend only on the cardinality and the (scaled) diameter of the underlying finite metric…

We consider extension of a closure system on a finite set S as a closure system on the same set S containing the given one as a sublattice. A closure system can be represented in different ways, e.g. by an implicational base or by the set…

In this paper we consider a wide class of generalized Lipschitz extension problems and the corresponding problem of finding absolutely minimal Lipschitz extensions. We prove that if a minimal Lipschitz extension exists, then under certain…

We prove that in a semi-bounded o-minimal expansion of an ordered group every non-empty open definable set is a finite union of open cells.

We consider locally o-minimal structures possessing tame topological properties shared by models of DCTC and uniformly locally o-minimal expansions of the second kind of densely linearly ordered abelian groups. We derive basic properties of…
