We introduce and study a natural class of fields in which certain first-order definable sets are existentially definable, and characterise this class by a number of equivalent conditions. We show that global fields belong to this class, and…
We study a natural measurable selection problem for which the standard uniformisation theorems do not seem to apply directly, yet a Borel selector exists. More precisely, we consider families of finite dimensional functions that admit…
This paper finds a classification, up-to an isomorphism, of abelian torsion groups realizable as Brauer groups of major types of Henselian valued primarily quasilocal fields with totally indivisible value groups. When $E$ is a quasilocal…
We prove that externally definable sets in first order NIP theories have honest definitions, giving a new proof of Shelah's expansion theorem. Also we discuss a weak notion of stable embeddedness true in this context. Those results are then…
We study definable sets, groups, and fields in the theory $T_\infty$ of infinite-dimensional vector spaces over an algebraically closed field equipped with a nondegenerate symmetric (or alternating) bilinear form. First, we define an…
In the spirit of the Ax-Kochen-Ershov principle, we show that in certain cases the burden of a Henselian valued field can be computed in terms of the burden of its residue field and that of its value group. To do so, we first see that the…
In this paper, we concern the model theory of finitely ramified henselian valued fields via higher valued hyperfields. Most of all, we provide a number of Ax-Kochen-Ershov Theorems for finitely ramified henselian valued fields relative to…
An open set U of the real numbers R is produced such that the expansion (R,+,x,U) of the real field by U defines a Borel isomorph of (R,+,x,N) but does not define N. It follows that (R,+,x,U) defines sets in every level of the projective…
We study existential theories of henselian valued fields of positive characteristic with parameters from a trivially valued subfield. Compared to previous work, we relax perfectness and separability assumptions, and instead work with the…
We prove that for every ordered abelian group $G$ there exists a non-trivial ordered abelian group $H$ such that $G\preccurlyeq H\oplus G$ with the lexicographic order, and give a first-order characterization of ordered abelian group $G$…
The quest for complete observables in general relativity has been a longstanding open problem. We employ methods from descriptive set theory to show that no complete observable on rich enough collections of spacetimes is Borel definable. In…
We give a criterion for maps on ultrametric spaces to be surjective and to preserve spherical completeness. We show how Hensel's Lemma and the multi-dimensional Hensel's Lemma follow from our result. We give an easy proof that the latter…
We establish relative quantifier elimination for valued fields of residue characteristic zero enriched with a non-surjective valued field endomorphism, building on recent work of Dor and Halevi. In particular, we deduce relative quantifier…
This paper develops algebraic geometry over Henselian real valued (i.e. of rank 1) fields $K$, being a sequel to our paper about that over Henselian discretely valued fields. Several results are given including: a certain concept of fiber…
We study relations between subsets of integers that are large, where large can be interpreted in terms of size (such as a set of positive upper density or a set with bounded gaps) or in terms of additive structure (such as a Bohr set). Bohr…
We give an elementary proof of a version of the implicit function theorem over Henselian valued fields $K$. It yields a density property for such fields (introduced in a joint paper with J. Koll{\'a}r), which is indispensable for ensuring…
We extend first-order logic to include variadic function symbols, and prove a substitution lemma. Two applications are given: one to bounded quantifier elimination and one to the definability of certain Borel sets.
Let (K, v) be a henselian valued field of arbitrary rank. In this paper, we give an irreducibility criterion for multivariate polynomials over K using valuation theory.
In this paper we address the decision problem for a fragment of set theory with restricted quantification which extends the language studied in [4] with pair related quantifiers and constructs, in view of possible applications in the field…
We give a partial answer to an important open problem in descriptive set theory, the Decomposability Conjecture for Borel functions on an analytic subset of a Polish space to a separable metrizable space. Our techniques employ deep results…
