In this note we study one-dimensional definable sets in power series fields with perfect residue fields. Using the description of automorphisms given by Schilling, in \cite{S44}, we show that such sets are unions of existentially definable…

We examine situations, where representations of a finite-dimensional $F$-algebra $A$ defined over a separable extension field $K/F$, have a unique minimal field of definition. Here the base field $F$ is assumed to be a $C_1$-field. In…

We investigate continuous functions definable in a definably complete uniformly locally o-minimal expansion of the second kind of a densely linearly ordered abelian group (DCULOAS structure). We prove a variant of the Arzela-Ascoli theorem…

The following two assertions are equivalent for an o-minimal expansion of an ordered group $\mathcal M=(M,<,+,0,\ldots)$. There exists a definable bijection between a bounded interval and an unbounded interval. Any definable continuous…

Consider a Henselian rank one valued field $K$ of equicharacteristic zero along with the language $\mathcal{L}^{P}$ of Denef--Pas. Let $f: A \to K$ be an $\mathcal{L}^{P}$-definable (with parameters) function on a subset $A$ of $K^{n}$. We…

Definable continuous injective maps defined on definable open sets into the Euclidean spaces of the same dimension are open maps in definably complete locally o-minimal expansions of ordered groups.

Through careful analysis of types inspired by [AGTW21] we characterize a notion of definable compactness for definable topologies in general o-minimal structures, generalizing results from [PP07] about closed and bounded definable sets in…

In this paper we work in o-minimal structures with definable Skolem functions and show that a continuous definable map between Hausdorff locally definably compact definable spaces is definably proper if and only if it is proper morphism in…

The Whitney group $K_1(A)$ is isomorphic to $A^\times \times \operatorname{SK}_1(A)$ for some subgroup $\operatorname{SK}_1(A)$, where $A$ is a commutative ring and $A^\times$ denotes the set of units in $A$. Consider an o-minimal expansion…

A note connecting arguments scattered in the extant literature proving that, in any o-minimal expansion of the real field, a definable family of sets has the property that the set of parameters corresponding to finite-volume fibers is…

We know that for a finite field $F$, every function on $F$ can be given by a polynomial with coefficients in $F$. What about the converse? i.e. if $R$ is a ring (not necessarily commutative or with unity) such that every function on $R$ can…

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 show that the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}^{\text{tr}}$ is existentially definable in the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}^{\text{tr}}(i)$, where $\mathbb{Q}^{\text{tr}}$ denotes the field of all totally real numbers. This implies that…

We study function fields of curves over a base field $K$ which is either a global field or a large field having a separable field extension of degree divisible by $4$. We show that, for any such function field, Hilbert's 10th Problem has a…

From the original PREFACE: The rings of quotients recently introduced by Johnson and Utumi are applied to the ring $C(X)$ of all continuous real-valued functions on a completely regular space $X$. Let $Q(X)$ denote the maximal ring of…

An open set U of the real numbers R is produced such that the expansion (R,+,x,U) of the real field by U defines a Borel isomorph of (R,+,x,N) but does not define N. It follows that (R,+,x,U) defines sets in every level of the projective…

Let K be a subfield of the real field, D be a discrete subset of K and f : D^n -> K be a function such that f(D^n) is somewhere dense. Then (K,f) defines the set of integers. We present several applications of this result. We show that K…

Let $ M (X)$ be the ring of all real measurable functions on a measurable space $(X, \mathscr{A})$. In this article, we show that every ideal of $M(X)$ is a $Z^{\circ}$-ideal. Also, we give several characterizations of maximal ideals of…

We consider first-order definability and decidability questions over rings of integers of algebraic extensions of $\Q$, paying attention to the uniformity of definitions. The uniformity follows from the simplicity of our first-order…

We prove that definable ring topologies on NIP fields are closely connected to NIP integral domains. More precisely, we show that up to elementary equivalence, any NIP topological field arises from an NIP integral domain. As an application,…
