Quasiminimal structures play an important role in non-elementary categoricity. In this paper we explore possibilities of constructing quasiminimal models of a given first-order theory. We present several constructions with increasing…
Let $R\subset F$ be an extension of real closed fields and ${\mathcal S}(M,R)$ the ring of (continuous) semialgebraic functions on a semialgebraic set $M\subset R^n$. We prove that every $R$-homomorphism $\varphi:{\mathcal S}(M,R)\to F$ is…
We consider two-dimensional electron systems in zero magnetic field at fractional filling. For such systems a Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem applies, forbidding the existence of a trivial insulator. However, the theorem does not distinguish…
The following strong form of density of definable types is introduced for theories T admitting a fibered dimension function d: given a model M of T and a definable subset X of M^n, there is a definable type p in X, definable over a code for…
In this paper we give sufficient conditions guaranteeing the validity of the well-known minimax theorem for the lower Snell envelope with respect to a family of absolutely continuous probability measures. Such minimax results play an…
In this paper we prove the Lefschetz coincidence theorem in o-minimal expansions of fields using the o-minimal singular homology and cohomology.
Haver's near-selection theorem deals with approximate selections of Hausdorff continuous CE-valued mappings defined on $\sigma$-compact metrizable $C$-spaces. In the present paper, we extend this theorem to all paracompact $C$-spaces. The…
An old theorem of Ad\'amek constructs initial algebras for sufficiently cocontinuous endofunctors via transfinite iteration over ordinals in classical set theory. We prove a new version that works in constructive logic, using "inflationary"…
Let $\widetilde{\mathcal M}=\langle \mathcal M, G\rangle$ be an expansion of a real closed field $\mathcal M$ by a dense subgroup $G$ of $\langle M^{>0}, \cdot\rangle$ with the Mann property. We prove that the induced structure on $G$ by…
We show quantifier elimination theorems for real closed valued fields with separated analytic structure and overconvergent analytic structure in their natural one-sorted languages and deduce that such structures are weakly o-minimal. We…
We consider a definably complete locally o-minimal expansion of an ordered field. We treat two topics in this paper. The first topic is a definable $\mathcal C^r$ approximation of a definable $\mathcal C^{r-1}$ map between definable…
This dissertation is a contribution to the project of second-order set theory, which has seen a revival in recent years. The approach is to understand second-order set theory by studying the structure of models of second-order set theories.…
We generalize Hrushovski's Group Configuration Theorem to quasiminimal classes. As an application, we present Zariski-like structures, a generalization of Zariski geometries, and show that a group can be found there if the pregeometry…
We prove a structure theorem for topologically conservative real skew product extensions of distal minimal compact metric $\Z$-flows. The main result states that every such extension can be represented by a perturbation of a Rokhlin skew…
A first order expansion of $(\mathbb{R},+,<)$ is dp-minimal if and only if it is o-minimal. We prove analogous results for algebraic closures of finite fields, $p$-adic fields, ordered abelian groups with only finitely many convex subgroups…
For systems which contain both superselection structure and constraints, we study compatibility between constraining and superselection. Specifically, we start with a generalisation of Doplicher-Roberts superselection theory to the case of…
We answer in the affirmative a conjecture of Berarducci, Peterzil and Pillay \cite{BPP10} for solvable groups, which is an o-minimal version of a particular case of Milnor's isomorphism conjecture \cite{jM83}. We prove that every abstract…
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…
It is well known that ordered exponential fields with a compatible non-trivial valuation cannot be spherically complete, but there are some that are ``complete enough''. This paper gives analogues of Kaplansky's theorem on maximally valued…
Let $M$ be a short extender mouse. We prove that if $E\in M$ and $M$ satisfies "$E$ is a countably complete short extender whose support is a cardinal $\theta$ and $\mathcal{H}_\theta\subseteq\mathrm{Ult}(V,E)$", then $E$ is in the extender…
