We show that the theory of algebraically closed fields with multiplicative circular orders has a model companion $\mathrm{ACFO}$. Using number-theoretic results on character sums over finite fields, we show that if $\mathbb{F}$ is an…

We introduce a class of theories called metastable, including the theory of algebraically closed valued fields (ACVF) as a motivating example. The key local notion is that of definable types dominated by their stable part. A theory is…

We introduce the model-companion of the theory of fields expanded by a unary function for a multiplicative map, which we call ACFH. Among others, we prove that this theory is NSOP$_1$ and not simple, that the kernel of the map is a generic…

Let $p \geq 2$ be a prime number and let $\mathbb{C}_p$ be the completion of an algebraic closure of the $p$-adic rational field $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $f_c(z)$ be a one-parameter family of rational functions of degree $d\geq 2$, where the…

We study the automorphism group of the algebraic closure of a substructure A of a pseudo-finite field F. We show that the behavior of this group, even when A is large, depends essentially on the roots of unity in F. For almost all…

This paper is concerned with the model-theoretic study of pairs $(K,F)$ where $K$ is an algebraically closed field and $F$ is a distinguished subfield of $K$ allowing extra structure. We study the basic model-theoretic properties of those…

We construct a topology on a given algebraically closed field with a distinguished subfield which is also algebraically closed. This topology is finer than Zariski topology and it captures the sets definable in the pair of algebraically…

We introduce and study a new class of differential fields in positive characteristic. We call them separably differentially closed fields and demonstrate that they are the differential analogue of separably closed fields. We prove several…

Several structural results about permutation groups of finite rank definable in differentially closed fields of characteristic zero (and other similar theories) are obtained. In particular, it is shown that every finite rank definably…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. We fashion an infinite dimensional basic algebra $\underleftarrow{\mathcal{C}}_p(F)$, with a transparent combinatorial structure, which we expect to control the rational…

We show that many nice properties of a theory $T$ follow from the corresponding properties of its reducts to finite subsignatures. If $\{ T_i \}_{i \in I}$ is a directed family of conservative expansions of first-order theories and each…

Following a research line proposed by Hrushovski in his work on pseudofinite fields with an additive character, we investigate the theory $\mathrm{ACFA}^{+}$ which is the model companion of the theory of difference fields with an additive…

We indicate a way of distinguishing between structures, for which, two structures are said to be separable.Being separable implies being non-isomorphic. We show that for any first order theory $T$ in a countable language, if it has an…

These notes form part of a joint research project on the logic of fields with many valuations, connected by a product formula. We define such structures and name them {\em globally valued fields} (GVFs). This text aims primarily at a proof…

Let $U$ be a smooth and connected curve over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, with smooth compactification $X$. We generalize classical Geometric Class Field theory to provide a classification of fppf $G$-torsors…

We give an algebraic characterization of the affine $3$-space over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. We use this characterization to reformulate the following question. Let $$A=k[X, Y, Z, T]/(XY+Z^{p^e}+T+T^{sp})$$…

We study model theoretic properties of valued fields (equipped with a real-valued multiplicative valuation), viewed as metric structures in continuous first order logic. For technical reasons we prefer to consider not the valued field…

Recall that a group $G$ has finitely satisfiable generics ($fsg$) or definable $f$-generics ($dfg$) if there is a global type $p$ on $G$ and a small model $M_0$ such that every left translate of $p$ is finitely satisfiable in $M_0$ or…

We prove some technical results on definable types in $p$-adically closed fields, with consequences for definable groups and definable topological spaces. First, the code of a definable $n$-type (in the field sort) can be taken to be a real…

We give an algebraic description of the structure of the analytic universal cover of a complex abelian variety which suffices to determine the structure up to isomorphism. More generally, we classify the models of theories of "universal…
