Quantifier elimination for o-minimal structures expanded by a valuational cut

Logic 2020-07-17 v2

Abstract

Let RR be an o-minimal expansion of a group in a language in which Th(R)\textrm{Th}(R) eliminates quantifiers, and let CC be a predicate for a valuational cut in RR. We identify a condition that implies quantifier elimination for Th(R,C)\textrm{Th}(R,C) in the language of RR expanded by CC and a small number of constants, and which, in turn, is implied by Th(R,C)\textrm{Th}(R,C) having quantifier elimination and being universally axiomatizable. The condition applies for example in the case when CC is a convex subring of an o-minimal field RR and its residue field is o-minimal.
