Given a structure $\mathcal{M}$ with a definable topology, its open core is a structure defined on the same universe whose language consists of all open sets of all arities definable in $\mathcal{M}$. In response to questions raised by…
We demonstrate that the open core of a definably complete expansion of a densely linearly ordered abelian group is locally o-minimal if and only if any definable closed subset of $R$ is either discrete or contains a nonempty open interval.…
A proper elementary extension of a model is called small if it realizes no new types over any finite set in the base model. We answer a question of Marker, and show that it is possible to have an o-minimal structure with a maximal small…
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…
In arXiv:1303.3724, the authors provide an axiomatic way of constructing new polynomially bounded o-minimal structures. However, all of the structures satisfying these axioms must also have smooth cell-decomposition. In this paper, we…
Given an o-minimal structure ${\mathcal M}$ with a group operation, we show that for a properly convex subset $U$, the theory of the expanded structure ${\mathcal M}'=({\mathcal M},U)$ has definable Skolem functions precisely when…
We propose new structures called almost o-minimal structures and $\mathfrak X$-structures. The former is a first-order expansion of a dense linear order without endpoints such that the intersection of a definable set with a bounded open…
Every bounded definable open set is a union of finitely many open strong cells in a weakly o-minimal expansion of a real closed field. We prove this fact and another theorem similar to it.
We study various notions of "tameness" for definably complete expansions of ordered fields. We mainly study structures with locally o-minimal open core, d-minimal structures, and dense pairs of d-minimal structures.
The first papers on o-minimal structures appeared in the mid 1980s, since then the subject has grown into a wide ranging generalisation of semialgebraic, subanalytic and subpfaffian geometry. In these notes we try to show that this is in…
This paper discusses sufficient conditions for a definably complete densely linearly ordered expansion of an abelian group having the uniformly locally o-minimal open cores of the first/second kind and strongly locally o-minimal open core,…
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.
This paper investigates almost o-minimal structures, a weakening of o-minimality introduced by Fujita to capture structures that lie outside the classical o-minimal framework. In contrast to o-minimality and local o-minimality, almost…
We prove that all known examples of weakly o-minimal non-valuational structures have no definable Skolem functions. We show, however, that such structures eliminate imaginaries up to (definable families of) definable cuts. Along the way we…
We study d-minimal expansions of ordered fields, and dense pairs thereof. We also consider other generalizations of o-minimality.
We initiate an investigation of structures on the set of real numbers having the property that path components of definable sets are definable. All o\nobreakdash-\hspace{0pt}minimal structures on $(\mathbb{R},<)$ have the property, as do…
In [O. Le Gal, J.-P. Rolin. An o-minimal structure which does not admit $C^\infty$ cellular decomposition. In: Ann. Inst. Fourier 59 (2009), pp 543-562], the authors construct an o-minimal structure which does not admit smooth…
Given a weakly o-minimal structure $\mathcal M$ and its o-minimal completion $\bar {\mathcal M}$, we first associate to $\bar {\mathcal M}$ a canonical language and then prove that $Th(\mathcal M)$ determines $Th(\bar {\mathcal M})$. We…
We give an example of a definable quotient in an o-minimal structure which cannot be eliminated over any set of parameters, giving a negative answer to a question of Eleftheriou, Peterzil, and Ramakrishnan. Equivalently, there is an…
In this paper we give an explicit characterization of o-minimal structures with definable Skolem functions/definable choice. Such structures are, after naming finitely many elements from the prime model, a union of finitely many trivial…
