The most general definition of a continuous function requires that the preimage of any open set be open. Thus, to discuss continuity in the abstract, it is necessary to first define a topology, which tells us which sets in a space are open.…
Lax extensions of set functors play a key role in various areas including topology, concurrent systems, and modal logic, while predicate liftings provide a generic semantics of modal operators. We take a fresh look at the connection between…
Let T be an algebraically bounded theory. We consider the $L(\bar\delta)$-expansions of T by a tuple $\bar \delta$ of derivations (which may be commuting or not). We investigate the model completion of either of the above theories, whose…
We study the smallest possible number of points in a topological space having k open sets. Equivalently, this is the smallest possible number of elements in a poset having k order ideals. Using efficient algorithms for constructing a…
Let $T$ be an o-minimal theory expanding $\mathrm{RCF}$ and $T_\mathrm{convex}$ be the common theory of its models expanded by predicate for a non-trivial $T$-convex valuation ring. We call an elementary extension $(\mathbb{E}, \mathcal{O})…
We construct a model complete and o-minimal expansion of the field of real numbers such that, for any planar analytic vector field X and any isolated, non-resonant hyperbolic singularity p of X, a transition map for X at p is definable in…
We consider a definably complete locally o-minimal expansion of an ordered field. We treat two topics in this paper. The first topic is a definable $\mathcal C^r$ approximation of a definable $\mathcal C^{r-1}$ map between definable…
In previous papers on this project a general static logical framework for formalizing and mechanizing set theories of different strength was suggested, and the power of some predicatively acceptable theories in that framework was explored.…
We establish the choice property, a weak analogue of definable choice, for certain tame expansions of o-minimal structures. Most noteworthily, dense pairs of real closed fields have this property.
A subset of a model of ${\sf PA}$ is called neutral if it does not change the $\mathrm{dcl}$ relation. A model with undefinable neutral classes is called neutrally expandable. We study the existence and non-existence of neutral sets in…
We state conditions for which a definable local homomorphism between two locally definable groups $\mathcal{G}$, $\mathcal{G^{\prime}}$ can be uniquely extended when $\mathcal{G}$ is simply connected (Theorem 2.1). As an application of this…
We give an example of a definable quotient in an o-minimal structure which cannot be eliminated over any set of parameters, giving a negative answer to a question of Eleftheriou, Peterzil, and Ramakrishnan. Equivalently, there is an…
Let R be a sufficiently saturated o-minimal expansion of a real closed field, let O be the convex hull of the rationals in R, and let st: O^n \to \mathbb{R}^n be the standard part map. For X \subseteq R^n define st(X):=st(X \cap O^n). We…
We consider various notions of completeness in symplectic topology and ask two related questions. Does a complete open symplectic manifold remain complete after excising a subset? Can two sets be made arbitrarily far apart by adjusting the…
We investigate continuous functions definable in a definably complete uniformly locally o-minimal expansion of the second kind of a densely linearly ordered abelian group (DCULOAS structure). We prove a variant of the Arzela-Ascoli theorem…
An open (resp., closed) subset A of a topological space (X, T ) is called C-open (resp., C-closed) set if cl(A) \ A (resp., A \ int(A)) is a countable set. This paper aims to present the concept of C-open and C-closed sets. We first…
We prove several structural results on definably compact groups G in o-minimal expansions of real closed fields, such as (i) G is definably an almost direct product of a semisimple group and a commutative group, and (ii) the group (G, .) is…
We consider d-minimal expansions of ordered fields. We demonstrate the existence of definable quotients of definable sets by definable equivalence relations when several technical conditions are satisfied. These conditions are satisfied…
Orthogonality in model theory captures the idea of absence of non-trivial interactions between definable sets. We introduce a somewhat opposite notion of cohesiveness, capturing the idea of interaction among all parts of a given definable…
We compare two different notions of generic expansions of countable saturated structures. One kind of genericity is related to model-companions and to amalgamation constructions \'a la Hrushovski-Fra\"iss\'e. Another notion of generic…
