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…
This paper contains an alternate proof of the Schanuel Nullstellensatz for Zilber's Pseudoexponentiation. Furthermore, in an algebraically closed exponential field whose exponential map is surjective with standard kernel, this property…
We prove that Zilber's class of exponential fields is quasiminimal excellent and hence uncountably categorical, filling two gaps in Zilber's original proof.
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…
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…
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,…
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 show that the field of rational numbers is not definable by a universal formula in Zilber's pseudo-exponential field.
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 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…
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 continue the research programme of comparing the complex exponential field with Zilber exponential. For the latter we prove, using diophantine geometry, various properties about zero sets of exponential functions, proved for C using…
Given a subfield $F$ of $\mathbb{C}$, we study the linear disjointess of the field $E$ generated by iterated exponentials of elements of $\overline{F}$, and the field $L$ generated by iterated logarithms, in the presence of Schanuel's…
In this article, which is dedicated to my friend and colleague Boris Zilber on the occasion of his 75th birthday, I put forward a strategy for proving his quasiminimality conjecture for the complex exponential field. That is, for showing…
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…
We study the structure of an algebraically closed field with extra function resembling the classical exponentiation on complex numbers.
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…
We study solutions of exponential polynomials over the complex field. Assuming Schanuel's conjecture we prove that certain polynomials have generic solutions in the complex field.
The theory of difference-differential fields of characteristic zero has a model-companion denoted by $\it DCFA$. Previously we proved a weak version of Zilber's dichotomy for $\it DCFA$. In this paper we use arc spaces techniques as…
