In this paper we use tools from set theory and the uncountable categoricity of Zilber's pseudo-exponential field to show that Zilber's field is isomorphic to the complex field with (standard) exponentiation and hence Schanuel's conjecture…
We give a construction of quasiminimal fields equipped with pseudo-analytic maps, generalising Zilber's pseudo-exponential function. In particular we construct pseudo-exponential maps of simple abelian varieties, including…
Pseudoexponential fields are exponential fields similar to complex exponentiation satisfying the Schanuel Property, which is the abstract statement of Schanuel's Conjecture, and an adapted form of existential closure. Here we show that if…
The algebra of exponential fields and their extensions is developed. The focus is on ELA-fields, which are algebraically closed with a surjective exponential map. In this context, finitely presented extensions are defined, it is shown that…
We show that Zilber's conjecture that complex exponentiation is isomorphic to his pseudo-exponentiation follows from the a priori simpler conjecture that they are elementarily equivalent. An analysis of the first-order types in…
We deduce a special case of Zilber's quasiminimality conjecture, for the complex exponential field, from work of Henson and Rubel. Specifically, we deal with those subsets of $\mathbb{C}$ defined by formulas of the form…
In this paper, we prove that a pseudoexponential field has continuum many non-isomorphic countable real closed exponential subfields, each with an order preserving exponential map which is surjective onto the nonnegative elements. Indeed,…
Zilber's Exponential Algebraic Closedness conjecture (also known as Zilber's Nullstellensatz) gives conditions under which a complex algebraic variety should intersect the graph of the exponential map of a semiabelian variety. We prove the…
Assuming Schanuel's conjecture, we prove that any polynomial exponential equation in one variable must have a solution that is transcendental over a given finitely generated field. With the help of some recent results in Diophantine…
Assuming Schanuel's Conjecture we prove that for any variety V over the algebraic closure over the rational numbers, of dimension n and with dominant projections, there exists a generic point in V. We obtain in this way many instances of…
It is shown that the complex field equipped with the "approximate exponential map", defined up to ambiguity from a small group, is quasiminimal: every automorphism-invariant subset of the field is countable or co-countable. If the ambiguity…
We study the structure of an algebraically closed field with extra function resembling the classical exponentiation on complex numbers.
After recalling the definition of Zilber fields, and the main conjecture behind them, we prove that Zilber fields of cardinality up to the continuum have involutions, i.e., automorphisms of order two analogous to complex conjugation on…
We characterise the model-theoretic algebraic closure in Zilber's exponential field. A key step involves showing that certain algebraic varieties have finite intersections with certain finite-rank subgroups of the graph of exponentiation.…
We consider the theory of algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero with multivalued operations $x\mapsto x^r$ (raising to powers). It is in fact the theory of equations in exponential sums. In an earlier paper we have described…
I give an algebraic proof that the exponential algebraic closure operator in an exponential field is always a pregeometry, and show that its dimension function satisfies a weak Schanuel property. A corollary is that there are at most…
The complex field, equipped with the multivalued functions of raising to each complex power, is quasiminimal, proving a conjecture of Zilber and providing evidence towards his stronger conjecture that the complex exponential field is…
In this paper we prove that assuming Schanuel's conjecture, an exponential polynomial in one variable over the algebraic numbers has only finitely many algebraic solutions. This implies a positive answer to Shapiro's conjecture for…
We solve a case of the Abelian Exponential-Algebraic Closedness Conjecture, a conjecture due to Bays and Kirby, building on work of Zilber, which predicts sufficient conditions for systems of equations involving algebraic operations and the…
We prove that Zilber's class of exponential fields is quasiminimal excellent and hence uncountably categorical, filling two gaps in Zilber's original proof.
