We prove the existence of Verdier stratifications for sets definable in any o-minimal structure on (R, +, .). It is also shown that the Verdier condition (w) implies the Whitney condition (b) in o-minimal structures on (R, +, .). As a…

We revisit the power counting of the Higgs Effective Field Theory (HEFT) from first principles, by requiring that predictions for physical observables follow a series expansion in small, dimensionless quantities. Depending on whether HEFT…

We give an example of a dense o-minimal structure in which there is a definable quotient that cannot be eliminated, even after naming parameters. Equivalently, there is an interpretable set which cannot be put in parametrically definable…

For any subset $Z \subseteq \mathbb{Q}$, consider the set $S_Z$ of subfields $L\subseteq \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ which contain a co-infinite subset $C \subseteq L$ that is universally definable in $L$ such that $C \cap \mathbb{Q}=Z$. Placing…

It is well-known that the convergence of a family of smooth functions does not imply the convergence of its gradients. In this work, we show that if the family is definable in an o-minimal structure (for instance semialgebraic, subanalytic,…

Let $R$ be an o-minimal expansion of a group in a language in which $\textrm{Th}(R)$ eliminates quantifiers, and let $C$ be a predicate for a valuational cut in $R$. We identify a condition that implies quantifier elimination for…

We explain which Weierstrass elliptic functions are locally definable from other elliptic functions and exponentiation in the context of o-minimal structures. The proofs make use of the predimension method from model theory to exploit…

We prove the higher dimensional case of the o-minimal variant of Zilber's Restricted Trichotomy Conjecture. More precisely, let $\mathcal R$ be an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field, let $M$ be an interpretable set in $\mathcal R$,…

We propose to grok Lipschitz stratifications from a non-archimedean point of view and thereby show that they exist for closed definable sets in any power-bounded o-minimal structure on a real closed field. Unlike the previous approaches in…

We work over an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field. The o-minimal homotopy groups of a definable set are defined naturally using definable continuous maps. We prove that any two semialgebraic maps which are definably homotopic are…

We introduce two notions of effective reducibility for set-theoretical statements, based on computability with Ordinal Turing Machines (OTMs), one of which resembles Turing reducibility while the other is modelled after Weihrauch…

Whitney's extension problem, i.e., how one can tell whether a function $f : X \to \mathbb R$, $X \subseteq \mathbb R^n$, is the restriction of a $C^m$-function on $\mathbb R^n$, was solved in full generality by Charles Fefferman in 2006. In…

We give conclusive answers to some questions about definability in analytic languages that arose shortly after the work by Denef and van den Dries, [DD], on $p$-adic subanalytic sets, and we continue the study of non-archimedean fields with…

Let R be an o-minimal field and V a proper convex subring with residue field k and standard part (residue) map st: V \to k. Let k_{ind} be the expansion of k by the standard parts of the definable relations in R. We investigate the…

In this article, which is dedicated to my friend and colleague Boris Zilber on the occasion of his 75th birthday, I put forward a strategy for proving his quasiminimality conjecture for the complex exponential field. That is, for showing…

We develop multisummability, in the positive real direction, for generalized power series with natural support, and we prove o-minimality of the expansion of the real field by all multisums of these series. This resulting structure expands…

We consider the question of when an expansion of a topological structure has the property that every open set definable in the expansion is definable in the original structure. This question is related to and inspired by recent work of…

Let K be a henselian valued field of characteristic 0. Then K admits a definable partition on each piece of which the leading term of a polynomial in one variable can be computed as a definable function of the leading term of a linear map.…

We introduce an algebraic model, based on the determinantal expansion of the product of two matrices, to test combinatorial reductions of set functions. Each term of the determinantal expansion is deformed through a monomial factor in d…

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.
