Building on work of J. Robinson and A. Shlapentokh, we develop a general framework to obtain definability and decidability results of large classes of infinite algebraic extensions of $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$. As an application, we show that for…
Let $K$ be a field. The \'etale open topology on the $K$-points $V(K)$ of a $K$-variety $V$ was introduced in our previous work. The \'etale open topology is non-discrete if and only if $K$ is large. If $K$ is separably, real, $p$-adically…
We investigate Diophantine definability and decidability over some subrings of algebraic numbers contained in quadratic extensions of totally real algebraic extensions of $\mathbb Q$. Among other results we prove the following. The big…
A field is existentially t-henselian if it is has the same existential theory in the first-order language of rings as a field that admits a nontrivial henselian valuation. This property turns out to be equivalent to $\mathbb{Z}$-largeness,…
We shall define a general notion of dimension, and study groups and rings whose interpretable sets carry such a dimensio. In particular, we deduce chain conditions for groups, definability results for fields and domains, and show that…
Given a henselian valuation, we study its definability (with and without parameters) by examining conditions on the value group. We show that any henselian valuation whose value group is not closed in its divisible hull is definable in the…
We extend results of Denef, Zahidi, Demeyer and the second author to show the following. (1) Rational integers have a single-fold Diophantine definition over the ring of integral functions of any function field of characteristic 0. (2)…
We provide axiomatization and relative quantifier elimination for valued fields equipped with an automorphism, in residue characteristic zero. Similar results are known under strong assumptions on the interaction between the automorphism…
This paper builds fundamental perfect fields of positive characteristic and shows the structure of perfect fields that a field of positive characteristic is a perfect field if and only if it is an algebraic extension of a fundamental…
In this work, we study the simplest example of the landscape of conformal field theories: one-dimensional CFTs with finite-dimensional state space. Following the definition of quantum field theory given by G. Segal, we formulate the…
We give an explicit algebraic characterisation of all definable henselian valuations on a dp-minimal real field. Additionally we characterise all dp-minimal real fields that admit a definable henselian valuation with real closed residue…
If an automorphism f of a structure M is such that fix(f^k) = fix(f) for all positive k, then M|fix(f) is a substructure of M. The possible isomorphism types of such M|fix(f) are characterized when M is countable and arithmetically…
We prove a negative solution to the analogue of Hilbert's tenth problem for rings of one variable non-Archimedean entire functions in any characteristic. In the positive characteristic case we prove more: the ring of rational integers is…
This paper examines fields of rationality in families of cuspidal automorphic representations of unitary groups. Specifically, for a fixed $A$ and a sufficiently large family $\mathcal{F}$, a small proportion of representations $\pi\in…
We study infinite groups interpretable in three families of valued fields: $V$-minimal, power bounded $T$-convex, and $p$-adically closed fields. We show that every such group $G$ has unbounded exponent and that if $G$ is dp-minimal then it…
We study fragments of the existential theory of henselian valued fields with parameters. This includes the $\exists_n$-fragment in the equicharacteristic or unramified mixed characteristic case, the $\exists_n\exists_1$-fragment in the…
For a given number field $K$, we give a $\forall\exists\forall$-first order description of affine Darmon points over $\mathbb{P}^1_K$, and show that this can be improved to a $\forall\exists$-definition in a remarkable particular case.…
We prove an assortment of results on (commutative and unital) NIP rings, especially $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebras. Let $R$ be a NIP ring. Then every prime ideal or radical ideal of $R$ is externally definable, and every localization $S^{-1}R$ is…
We prove that infinite p-adically discrete sets have Diophantine definitions in large subrings of some number fields. First, if K is a totally real number field or a totally complex degree-2 extension of a totally real number field, then…
We define general notions of coordinate geometries over fields and ordered fields, and consider coordinate geometries that are given by finitely many relations that are definable over those fields. We show that the automorphism group of…
