The objective of this article is to characterise elimination of finite generalised imaginaries (as defined by Hrushovski) in terms of group cohomology. As an application, I consider series of Zariski geometries constructed by Hrushovski and…
We answer two open questions about the model theory of valued differential fields introduced by Scanlon. We show that they eliminate imaginaries in the geometric language introduced by Haskell, Hrushovski and Macpherson and that they have…
A Basarab-Kuhlmann style language L_RV is introduced in the Hrushovski-Kazhdan integration theory. The theory ACVF of algebraically closed valued fields formulated in this language admits quantifier elimination. In this paper, using…
In this paper we study elimination of imaginaries in some classes of henselian valued fields of equicharacteristic zero and residue field algebraically closed. The results are sensitive to the complexity of the value group. We focus first…
In this paper, we prove weak elimination of imaginaries for perfect bounded pseudo-algebraically closed fields equipped with finitely many independent valuations. Our approach combines an extension result for types to invariant types with…
We study interpretable sets in henselian and sigma-henselian valued fields with value group elementarily equivalent to Q or Z. Our first result is an Ax-Kochen-Ershov type principle for weak elimination of imaginaries in finitely ramified…
We classify the imaginaries in a large class of equicharacteristic zero henselian valued fields that contain all those with bounded inertia group, and more. To do so, we consider a mix of sorts introduced in earlier works of the two authors…
We show that types over real algebraically closed sets are stationary, both for the theory of separably closed fields of infinite degree of imperfection and for the theory of beautiful pairs of algebraically closed field. The proof is given…
We construct Hrushovski-Kazhdan style motivic integration in certain expansions of ACVF. Such an expansion is typically obtained by adding a full section or a cross-section from the RV-sort into the VF-sort and some (arbitrary) extra…
Assume that $ACF$ denotes the theory of algebraically closed fields. The renowned theorem of A. Tarski states that $ACF$ admits quantifier elimination. In this paper we give a constructive proof of Tarski's theorem on quantifier elimination…
In this paper we study elimination of imaginaries in some classes of pure ordered abelian groups. For the class of ordered abelian groups with bounded regular rank (equivalently with finite spines) we obtain weak elimination of imaginaries…
In this paper, we give a very general criterion for elimination of imaginaries using an abstract independent relation. We also study germs of definable functions at certain well-behaved invariant types. Finally we apply these tools to the…
We show that separably closed valued fields of finite imperfection degree (either with lambda-functions or commuting Hasse derivations) eliminate imaginaries in the geometric language. We then use this classification of interpretable sets…
In [21] it was asked if equality on the reals is sharp as a lower bound for the complexity of topological isomorphism between oligomorphic groups. We prove that under the assumption of weak elimination of imaginaries this is indeed the…
Chevalley's theorem on the images of morphisms of schemes and the principle of quantifier elimination for the theory of algebraically closed fields are widely understood to be two perspectives on the same theorem. In this paper, we…
We present two of the three major steps in the construction of motivic integration, that is, a homomorphism between Grothendieck semigroups that are associated with a first-order theory of algebraically closed valued fields, in the…
We study finite imaginaries in certain valued fields, and prove a conjecture of Cluckers and Denef.
The text is based on notes from a class entitled {\em Model Theory of Berkovich Spaces}, given at the Hebrew University in the fall term of 2009, and retains the flavor of class notes. It includes an exposition of material from…
We prove that a countable simple unidimensional theory that eliminates hyperimaginaries is supersimple. This solves a problem of Shelah in the more general context of simple theories under weak assumptions.
We describe the imaginary sorts of infinite products in terms of imaginary sorts of the factors. We extend the result to certain reduced powers and then to infinite products $\prod_{i\in I} M_i$ enriched with a predicate for the ideal of…
