The proper class of Conway's surreal numbers forms a rich totally ordered algebraically closed field with many arithmetic and algebraic properties close to those of real numbers, the ordinals, and infinitesimal numbers. In this paper, we…
Conway's real closed field $\mathbf{No}$ of surreal numbers is a sweeping generalization of the real numbers and the ordinals to which a number of elementary functions such as log and exponentiation have been shown to extend. The problems…
We show that \'Ecalle's transseries and their variants (LE and EL-series) can be interpreted as functions from positive infinite surreal numbers to surreal numbers. The same holds for a much larger class of formal series, here called…
One can associate to a valued field an inverse system of valued hyperfields $(\mathcal{H}_i)_{i \in I}$ in a natural way. We investigate when, conversely, such a system arise from a valued field. First, we extend a result of Krasner by…
Non-archimedean fields with restricted analytic functions may not support a full exponential function, but they always have partial exponentials defined in convex subrings. On face of this, we study the first order theory of the class of…
We develop a general field-covariant approach to quantum gauge theories. Extending the usual set of integrated fields and external sources to "proper" fields and sources, which include partners of the composite fields, we define the master…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a polynomially bounded o-minimal expansion of a real closed field (in a language of arbitrary cardinality) to be $\aleph_{\alpha}$-saturated. The conditions are in terms of the value group,…
We show that the composition of omega-series by surreal numbers, or more generally by elements of any confluent field of transseries, is monotonic in its second argument. In particular, omega-series and LE-series interpreted as functions…
For any ordinal $\alpha > 0$, we show how to define a hyperexponential $E_{\omega^{\alpha}}$ and a hyperlogarithm $L_{\omega^{\alpha}}$ on the class $\mathbf{No}^{>, \succ}$ of positive infinitely large surreal numbers. Such functions are…
Motivated by the decidability question for the theory of real exponentiation and by the Transfer Conjecture for o-minimal exponential fields, we show that, under the assumption of Schanuel's Conjecture, the prime model of real…
We give a presentation of Conway's surreal numbers focusing on the connections with transseries and Hardy fields and trying to simplify when possible the existing treatments.
We define the universal exponential extension of an algebraically closed differential field and investigate its properties in the presence of a nice valuation and in connection with linear differential equations. Next we prove normalization…
We describe the additive subgroups of fields which are closed with respect to taking inverses. In particular, in characteristic different from two any such subgroup is either a subfield or the kernel of the trace map of a quadratic…
We prove that the theories of fields with Hasse-Schmidt derivations corresponding to actions of formal groups admit model companions. We also give geometric axiomatizations of these model companions.
Let $F$ be an archimedean field, $G$ a divisible ordered abelian group and $h$ a group exponential on $G$. A triple $(F,G,h)$ is realised in a non-archimedean exponential field $(K,\exp)$ if the residue field of $K$ under the natural…
We study valued fields equipped with an automorphism $\sigma$ which is locally infinitely contracting in the sense that $\alpha\ll\sigma\alpha$ for all $0<\alpha\in\Gamma$. We show that various notions of valuation theory, such as Henselian…
We investigate valued fields which admit a valuation basis. Given a countable ordered abelian group G and a real closed, or algebraically closed field F, we give a sufficient condition for a valued subfield of the field of generalized power…
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…
An axiomatic quantum field theory applied to the self-interacting boson field is realised in terms of generalised operators that allows us to form products and take derivatives of the fields in simple and mathematically rigorous ways.…
Surreal numbers, have a very rich and elegant theory. This class of numbers, denoted by No, includes simultaneously the ordinal numbers and the real numbers, and forms a universal huge real closed field: It is universal in the sense that…
