In previous papers on this project a general static logical framework for formalizing and mechanizing set theories of different strength was suggested, and the power of some predicatively acceptable theories in that framework was explored.…

Consider a definable complete d-minimal expansion $(F, <, +, \cdot, 0, 1, \dots,)$ of an oredered field $F$. Let $X$ be a definably compact definably normal definable $C^r$ manifold and $2 \le r <\infty$. We prove that the set of definable…

We use a new construction of an o-minimal structure, due to Lipshitz and Robinson, to answer a question of van den Dries regarding the relationship between arbitrary o-minimal expansions of real closed fields and structures over the real…

We prove a quantitative version of Hilbert's irreducibility theorem for function fields: If $f(T_1,\ldots, T_n,X)$ is an irreducible polynomial over the field of rational functions over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p$,…

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…

A dichotomy for expansions of the real field is established: Either the set of integers is definable or every nonempty bounded nowhere dense definable subset of the real numbers has Minkowski dimension zero.

Let $T$ be an o-minimal theory extending the theory of real closed ordered fields. An $H_T$-field is a model $K$ of $T$ equipped with a $T$-derivation such that the underlying ordered differential field of $K$ is an $H$-field. We study…

We continue the exploration of various aspects of divisibility of ultrafilters, adding one more relation to the picture: multiplicative finite embeddability. We show that it lies between divisibility relations $\mid_M$ and…

We establish the first global results for groups definable in tame expansions of o-minimal structures. Let $\mathcal N$ be an expansion of an o-minimal structure $\mathcal M$ that admits a good dimension theory. The setting includes dense…

These notes focus on the Lipschitz geometry of sets that are definable in o-minimal structures (expanding the real field). We show that every set which is definable in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure admits a stratification which…

Fix a language L extending the language of real closed fields by at least one new predicate or function symbol. Call an L-structure R pseudo-o-minimal if it is (elementarily equivalent to) an ultraproduct of o-minimal structures. We show…

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 prove an algebraic extension theorem for the computably enumerable sets, $\mathcal{E}$. Using this extension theorem and other work we then show if $A$ and $\hat{A}$ are automorphic via $\Psi$ then they are automorphic via $\Lambda$…

In this article we give strong versions for preparation theorems for $\mathbb{R}_{an,exp}$-definable functions outgoing from methods of Lion and Rolin ($\mathbb{R}_{an,exp}$ is the o-minimal structure generated by all restricted analytic…

Let $\RR_S$ denote the expansion of the real ordered field by a family of real-valued functions $S$, where each function in $S$ is defined on a compact box and is a member of some quasianalytic class which is closed under the operations of…

We explore \emph{semibounded} expansions of arbitrary ordered groups; namely, expansions that do not define a field on the whole universe. We introduce the notion of a \emph{semibounded} expansion of an arbitrary ordered group, extending…

We describe the supports of a class of real-valued maps on $C*(X)$ introduced by Radul. Using this description, a characterization of compact-valued retracts of a given space in terms of functional extenders is obtained. For example, if…

We prove that the Reeb space of a proper definable map $f:X \rightarrow Y$ in an arbitrary o-minimal expansion of a real closed field is realizable as a proper definable quotient. This result can be seen as an o-minimal analog of Stein…

We characterize the notion of definable compactness for topological spaces definable in o-minimal structures, answering questions of Peterzil and Steinhorn (1999) and Johnson (2018). Specifically, we prove the equivalence of various…

In a former paper the first and third authors introduced the notion of direction set for a subset of R^n, and showed that the dimension of the common direction set of two subanalytic subsets, called directional dimension, is preserved by a…
