Let $\mathcal{R}$ be an $\mathrm{NIP}$ expansion of $(\mathbb{R},<,+)$ by closed subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and continuous functions $f : \mathbb{R}^m \to \mathbb{R}^n$. Then $\mathcal{R}$ is generically locally o-minimal. It follows that if…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, endowed with a complete nonarchimedean norm. Let X be a K-rigid analytic variety and \Sigma a semianalytic subset of X. Then the closure of \Sigma in X with respect to the…

We establish a surprising correspondence between groups definable in o-minimal structures and linear algebraic groups, in the nilpotent case. It turns out that in the o-minimal context, like for finite groups, nilpotency is equivalent to…

We show that, if a simple $C^{*}$-algebra $A$ is topologically finite-dimensional in a suitable sense, then not only $K_{0}(A)$ has certain good properties, but $A$ is even accessible to Elliott's classification program. More precisely, we…

Let $K$ be a number field or a function field of characteristic 0. If $K$ is a number field, assume the $abc$-conjecture for $K$. We prove a variant of Zsigmondy's theorem for ramified primes in preimage fields of rational functions in…

We give a complete first-order axiomatization of the structure $(\mathbb{Z},+,(\ell^{\mathbb{N}})_{\ell\in L})$, where $L \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 2}$ is a set of pairwise multiplicatively independent integers and $\ell^{\mathbb{N}} =…

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 calculate the possible Scott ranks of countable models of Peano arithmetic. We show that no non-standard model can have Scott rank less than $\omega$ and that non-standard models of true arithmetic must have Scott rank greater than…

We use a generalization of a construction by Ziegler to show that for any field $F$ and any countable collection of countable subsets $A_i \subseteq F, i \in \calI \subset \Z_{>0}$ there exist infinitely many fields $K$ of arbitrary…

A coset relation algebra is one embeddable into some full coset relation algebra, the latter is an algebra constructed from a system of groups, a coordinated system of isomorphisms between quotients of these groups, and a system of cosets…

We analyze definably compact groups in o-minimal expansions of ordered groups as a combination of semi-linear groups and groups definable in o-minimal expansions of real closed fields. The analysis involves structure theorems about their…

An argument of A.Borel shows that every compact connected Lie group is homeomorphic to the Cartesian product of its derived subgroup and a torus. We prove a parallel result for definably compact definably connected groups definable in an…

We prove that for p-optimal fields (a very large subclass of p-minimal fields containing all the known examples) a cell decomposition theorem follows from methods going back to Denef's paper [Invent. Math, 77 (1984)]. We derive from it the…

The class of elementary totally disconnected groups is the smallest class of totally disconnected, locally compact, second countable groups which contains all discrete countable groups, all metrizable pro-finite groups, and is closed under…

Sharply o-minimal structures (denoted \so-minimal) are a strict subclass of the o-minimal structures, aimed at capturing some finer features of structures arising from algebraic geometry and Hodge theory. Sharp o-minimality associates to…

We prove a theorem which provides a method for constructing points on varieties defined by certain smooth functions. We require that the functions are definable in a definably complete expansion of a real closed field and are locally…

Let K be a number field and let A be its ring of integers. Let G be a connected, noncommutative, absolutely almost simple algebraic K-group. If the K-rank of G equals 2, then G(A[t]) is not finitely presented.

The Steinitz class of a number field extension K/k is an ideal class in the ring of integers O_k of k, which, together with the degree [K:k] of the extension determines the O_k-module structure of O_K. We call R_t(k,G) the classes which are…

Let $\mathbf{K}$ be the class of countable structures $M$ with the strong small index property and locally finite algebraicity, and $\mathbf{K}_*$ the class of $M \in \mathbf{K}$ such that $acl_M(\{ a \}) = \{ a \}$ for every $a \in M$. For…

Theories of classification distinguish classes with some good structure theorem from those for which none is possible. Some classes (dense linear orders, for instance) are non-classifiable in general, but are classifiable when we consider…
