We study when the property that a field is dense in its real and p-adic closures is elementary in the language of rings and deduce that all models of the theory of algebraic fields have this property.
We prove that the theory of a Henselian valued field of characteristic zero, with finite ramification, and whose value group is a $Z$-group, is model-complete in the language of rings if the theory of its residue field is model-complete in…
We show that Bloch's complex of relative zero-cycles can be used as a dualizing complex over perfect fields and number rings. This leads to duality theorems for torsion sheaves on arbitrary separated schemes of finite type over…
This paper proposes a new setup for studying pairs of structures. This new framework includes many of the previously studied classes of pairs, such as dense pairs of o-minimal structures, lovely pairs, fields with Mann groups, and…
Let G be a finite group. We explore the model theoretic properties of the class of differential fields of characteristic zero in m commuting derivations equipped with a G-action by differential field automorphisms. In the language of…
We develop the basic theory of geometrically closed rings as a generalisation of algebraically closed fields, on the grounds of notions coming from positive model theory and affine algebraic geometry. For this purpose we consider several…
The aim of this article is to give a self-contained account of the algebra and model theory of Cohen rings, a natural generalization of Witt rings. Witt rings are only valuation rings in case the residue field is perfect, and Cohen rings…
We introduce and study an abstract class of semirings, which we call exact semirings, defined by a Hahn-Banach-type separation property on modules. Our motivation comes from the tropical semiring, and in particular a desire to understand…
We present a unified framework for representing commutative rings through affine algebraic theories and Boolean rings through hyperaffine algebraic theories. This yields categorical equivalences between these theories and, respectively,…
This paper studies "pro-excision" for the K-theory of one-dimensional (usually semi-local) rings and its various applications. In particular, we prove Geller's conjecture for equal characteristic rings over a perfect field of finite…
We derive and introduce anisotropic effective pair potentials to coarse-grain solutions of semiflexible rings polymers of various lengths. The system has been recently investigated by means of full monomer-resolved computer simulations,…
We provide a characterisation of differentially large fields in arbitrary characteristic and a single derivation in the spirit of Blum axioms for differentially closed fields. In the case of characteristic zero, we use these axioms to…
We develop a general ring theory in the o-minimal setting culminating in a description of all the definable rings in an arbitrary o-minimal structure. We show that every definably connected ring with non-trivial multiplication defines an…
One of the most challenging problems in polymer physics is providing a theoretical description for the behaviour of rings in dense solutions and melts. Although it is nowadays well established that the overall size of a ring in these…
Absolute integral closures of general commutative unital rings are explored. All rings admit absolute integral closures, but in general they are not unique. Among the reduced rings with finitely many minimal prime ideals, finite products of…
We survey some results on the structure of the groups which are definable in theories of fields involved in the applications of model theory to Diophantine geometry. We focus more particularly on separably closed fields of finite degree of…
We introduce and investigate the so-called D-regularly nil clean rings by showing that these rings are, in fact, a non-trivial generalization of the classical von Neumann regular rings and of the strongly $\pi$-regular rings. Some other…
We investigate the model completeness of the theory of a mixed characteristic henselian valued field with finite ramification relative to the residue field and value group. We address the case in which the valued field has a value group…
We give foundational results for the model theory of the ring of finite adeles over a number field, construed as a restricted product of local fields. In contrast to Weispfenning we work in the language of ring theory, and various sortings…
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…
