We determine the sets definable in expansions of the ordered real additive group by generalized Cantor sets. Given a natural number $r\geq 3$, we say a set $C$ is a generalized Cantor set in base $r$ if there is a non-empty…

Let $\mathcal M=\langle K;O\rangle$ be a real closed valued field and let $k$ be its residue field. We prove that every interpretable field in $\mathcal M$ is definably isomorphic to either $K$, $K(\sqrt{-1})$, $k$, or $k(\sqrt{-1})$. The…

Consider a simple algebraic valued field extension $(L/K,v)$ and denote by $\mathcal O_L$ and $\mathcal O_K$ the corresponding valuation rings. The main goal of this paper is to present, under certain assumptions, a description of $\mathcal…

An extension (K(X)|K, v) of valued fields is said to be valuation transcendental if we have equality in the Abhyankar inequality. Minimal pairs of definition are fundamental objects in the investigation of valuation transcendental…

We use the Cauchy-Crofton formula to show that every definable cell (bounded by a ball with rational radius) in an O-minimal expansion of a field extension of the real numbers satisfies the Whitney arc property.

We provide a complete characterization of theories of tracial von Neumann algebras that admit quantifier elimination. We also show that the theory of a separable tracial von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{N}$ is never model complete if its…

We give a short argument why the tensor product valuation on $K \otimes_k L$ is multiplicative when $k$ is an algebraically closed valued field and $K$ and $L$ are valued extensions (all valuations being in $\bR$). When the valuation on $k$…

Suppose that $\widetilde{\mathbb R}$ is an o-minimal expansion of the real field in which restricted power functions are definable. We show that if $\widehat{\mathbb R}$ is both a reduct (in the sense of definability) of the expansion…

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 discuss definability in the language of rings without parameters of the unique canonical henselian valuation of a field. We show that in most cases where the canonical henselian valuation is definable, it is already definable by a…

Let $T$ be a complete strongly geometric theory of fields with quantifier elimination. We show that the theory of lovely pairs of $T$ has quantifier elimination in Delon's definitional expansion by predicates for linear independence and…

I prove the statement in the title using results from arXiv:2404.07646(2). This shows that Question~1.1 in [1] has negative answer for certain expansions of a valued field.

There exist NIP and non-NTP$_2$ theories satisfying all the following conditions: It is not o-minimal; All models are strongly locally o-minimal; It has a model which is an expansion of the linearly ordered abelian group over the reals…

We show that certain families of sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ (or $\mathbb{R}^n$) which are neither definable nor have bounded VC-dimension are nonetheless uniformly approximately definable in the real field, an o-minimal structure.

In this paper we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for $ R=A\propto E $ to be a valuation ring where $E$ is a non-torsion or finitely generated $A-$module. Also, we investigate the $ (n,d) $ property of the valuation ring.

We demonstrate the following uniform local definable cell decomposition theorem in this paper. Consider a structure $\mathcal M = (M, <,0,+, \ldots)$ elementarily equivalent to a locally o-minimal expansion of the group of reals $(\mathbb…

This paper provides a first example of a model theoretically well behaved structure consisting of a proper o-minimal expansion of the real field and a dense multiplicative subgroup of finite rank. Under certain Schanuel conditions, a…

We establish the choice property, a weak analogue of definable choice, for certain tame expansions of o-minimal structures. Most noteworthily, dense pairs of real closed fields have this property.

We consider the Quantifier Elimination (QE) problem for propositional CNF formulas with existential quantifiers. QE plays a key role in formal verification. Earlier, we presented an approach based on the following observation. To perform…

Given a valued field $(K,v)$ and its completion $(\widehat{K},v)$, we study the set of all possible extensions of $v$ to $\widehat{K}(X)$. We show that any such extension is closely connected with the underlying subextension $(K(X)|K,v)$.…
