Pregeometry over locally o-minimal structure and dimension

Logic 2022-04-06 v1

Abstract

We define a discrete closure operation for definably complete locally o-minimal structures M\mathcal M. The pair of the underlying set of M\mathcal M and the discrete closure operation forms a pregeometry. We define the rank of a definable set over a set of parameters using this fact. A definable set XX is of dimension equal to the rank of XX over the set of parameters of a formula defining the set XX. The structure M\mathcal M is simultaneously a first-order topological structure. The dimension rank of a set definable in the first-order topological structure M\mathcal M also coincides with its dimension.
