We show that if $ \mathcal{Z} $ is a dp-minimal expansion of $ \left(\mathbb{Z},+,0,1\right) $ that defines an infinite subset of $ \mathbb{N} $, then $ \mathcal{Z} $ is interdefinable with $ \left(\mathbb{Z},+,0,1, < \right) $. As a…
A first order expansion of $(\mathbb{R},+,<)$ is dp-minimal if and only if it is o-minimal. We prove analogous results for algebraic closures of finite fields, $p$-adic fields, ordered abelian groups with only finitely many convex subgroups…
We first prove that if $\mathcal{Z}$ is a dp-minimal expansion of $\left(\mathbb{Z},+,0,1\right)$ which is not interdefinable with $\left(\mathbb{Z},+,0,1,<\right)$, then every infinite subset of $\mathbb{Z}$ definable in $\mathcal{Z}$ is…
We show that the cyclically ordered-abelian groups expanding $(\mathbb{Z};+)$ contain a continuum-size family of dp-minimal structures such that no two members define the same subsets of $\mathbb{Z}$.
This is a contribution to the classification problem for dp-minimal expansions of $(\mathbb{Z},+)$. Let $S$ be a dense cyclic group order on $(\mathbb{Z},+)$. We use results on "dense pairs" to construct uncountably many dp-minimal…
We study dp-minimal infinite profinite groups that are equipped with a uniformly definable fundamental system of open subgroups. We show that these groups have an open subgroup $A$ such that either $A$ is a direct product of countably many…
Consider an expansion $\mathcal R=(R,<,+,\ldots)$ of an ordered divisible Abelian group of finite burden defining no nonempty subset $X$ of $R$ which is dense and codense in a definable open subset $U$ of $R$ with $X \subseteq U$. We…
Suppose $N$ is elementarily equivalent to an archimedean ordered abelian group $(G,+,<)$ with small quotients (for all $1 \leq n < \omega$, $[G: nG]$ is finite). Then every stable reduct of $N$ which expands $(G,+)$ (equivalently every…
Let $\mathcal{R}$ be an expansion of the ordered real additive group. When $\mathcal{R}$ is o-minimal, it is known that either $\mathcal{R}$ defines an ordered field isomorphic to $(\mathbb{R},<,+,\cdot)$ on some open subinterval…
This paper has two parts. In the first one, we prove that an invariant dp-minimal type is either finitely satisfiable or definable. We also prove that a definable version of the (p,q)-theorem holds in dp-minimal theories of small or medium…
We show some basic facts about dp-minimal ordered structures. The main results are : dp-minimal groups are abelian-by-finite-exponent, in a divisible ordered dp-minimal group, any infinite set has non-empty interior, and any theory of pure…
Let $\Gamma$ be an infinite discrete subgroup of Gl$_n(\mathbb{C})$. Then either $(\mathbb{R}, <, +, \cdot, \Gamma)$ is interdefinable with $(\mathbb{R}, <, +, \cdot, \lambda^\mathbb{Z})$ for some $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, or $(\mathbb{R},…
We study the structure of infinite discrete sets D definable in expansions of ordered Abelian groups whose theories are strong and definably complete, with particular emphasis on the set D' comprised of differences between successive…
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…
We consider the structure $(\mathbb{Z},+,0,|_{p_{1}},\dots,|_{p_{n}})$, where $x|_{p}y$ means $v_{p}(x)\leq v_{p}(y)$ and $v_p$ is the $p$-adic valuation. We prove that its theory has quantifier elimination in the language…
We generalize two of our previous results on abelian definable groups in $p$-adically closed fields to the non-abelian case. First, we show that if $G$ is a definable group that is not definably compact, then $G$ has a one-dimensional…
We study locally compact groups having all dense subgroups (locally) minimal. We call such groups densely (locally) minimal. In 1972 Prodanov proved that the infinite compact abelian groups having all subgroups minimal are precisely the…
We show that if a first-order structure $\mathcal{M}$, with universe $\mathbb{Z}$, is an expansion of $(\mathbb{Z},+,0)$ and a reduct of $(\mathbb{Z},+,<,0)$, then $\mathcal{M}$ must be interdefinable with $(\mathbb{Z},+,0)$ or…
We study the notion of dp-minimality, beginning by providing several essential facts, establishing several equivalent definitions, and comparing dp-minimality to other minimality notions. The rest of the paper is dedicated to examples. We…
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…
