We prove structure theorems for o-minimal definable subsets $S\subset G$ of definable groups containing large multiplicative structures, and show definable groups do not have bounded torsion arbitrarily close to the identity. As an…
We show that every definable group G in an o-minimal structure is definably finitely generated. That is, G contains a finite subset that is not included in any proper definable subgroup. This provides another proof, and a generalization to…
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 show pro-definability of spaces of definable types in various classical complete first order theories, including complete o-minimal theories, Presburger arithmetic, $p$-adically closed fields, real closed and algebraically closed valued…
We develop the notion of coherent ultrafilters (extenders without normality or well-foundedness). We then use definable coherent ultraproducts to characterize any extension of a model $M$ in any fragment of $\mathbb{L}_{\infty, \omega}$…
Termination analysis of linear loops plays a key r\^{o}le in several areas of computer science, including program verification and abstract interpretation. Already for the simplest variants of linear loops the question of termination…
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…
We study the properties of topological spaces $(X,\tau)$, where $X$ is a definable set in an o-minimal structure and the topology $\tau$ on $X$ has a basis that is (uniformly) definable. Examples of such spaces include the canonical…
Let R be a sufficiently saturated o-minimal expansion of a real closed field, let O be the convex hull of the rationals in R, and let st: O^n \to \mathbb{R}^n be the standard part map. For X \subseteq R^n define st(X):=st(X \cap O^n). We…
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.
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…
We completely characterize definable linear orders in o-minimal structures expanding groups. For example, let (P,<_p) be a linear order definable in the real field R. Then (P,<_p) embeds definably in (R^{n+1},<_l), where <_l is the…
A subset of a topological space is constructible if it is a finite Boolean combination of closed sets. We prove that every NTP$_2$ expansion of $(\mathbb{R},<,+)$ by constructible sets defines only constructible sets, and that definable…
We consider and characterize classes of finite and countably categorical structures and their theories preserved under $E$-operators and $P$-operators. We describe $e$-spectra and families of finite cardinalities for structures belonging to…
Arguments on PL,(=piecewise linear) topology work over any ordered field in the same way as over the real field, and those on differential topology do over a real closed field R in an o-minimal structure that expands (R,<,0,1,+,cdot). One…
Let M be an o-minimal structure with elimination of imaginaries, N an unstable structure definable in M. Then there exists X, interpretable in N, such that X with all the structure induced from N is o-minimal. In particular X is linearly…
We study the topology of metric spaces which are definable in o-minimal expansions of ordered fields. We show that a definable metric space either contains an infinite definable discrete set or is definably homeomorphic to a definable set…
The main purpose is to establish two theorems about closed 0-definable subsets $A$ of an affine space $K^{n}$ over a Hensel minimal field $K$. The first, being a non-Archimedean counterpart of one from o-minimal geometry, states that every…
By recent work on some conjectures of Pillay, each definably compact group in a saturated o-minimal structure is an expansion of a compact Lie group by a torsion free normal divisible subgroup, called its infinitesimal subgroup. We show…
The satisfiability problem for First-order Modal Logic (\FOML) is undecidable even for simple fragments like having only unary predicates, two variables etc. Recently a new way to identify decidable fragments of \FOML has been introduced…
