In this paper we use tools from set theory and the uncountable categoricity of Zilber's pseudo-exponential field to show that Zilber's field is isomorphic to the complex field with (standard) exponentiation and hence Schanuel's conjecture…

We show that Zilber's conjecture that complex exponentiation is isomorphic to his pseudo-exponentiation follows from the a priori simpler conjecture that they are elementarily equivalent. An analysis of the first-order types in…

We prove the following theorems: Theorem 1: For any E-field with cyclic kernel, in particular $\mathbb C$ or the Zilber fields, all real abelian algebraic numbers are pointwise definable. Theorem 2: For the Zilber fields, the only pointwise…

The algebra of exponential fields and their extensions is developed. The focus is on ELA-fields, which are algebraically closed with a surjective exponential map. In this context, finitely presented extensions are defined, it is shown that…

This paper contains an alternate proof of the Schanuel Nullstellensatz for Zilber's Pseudoexponentiation. Furthermore, in an algebraically closed exponential field whose exponential map is surjective with standard kernel, this property…

We prove that Zilber's class of exponential fields is quasiminimal excellent and hence uncountably categorical, filling two gaps in Zilber's original proof.

We study the structure of an algebraically closed field with extra function resembling the classical exponentiation on complex numbers.

Pseudoexponential fields are exponential fields similar to complex exponentiation satisfying the Schanuel Property, which is the abstract statement of Schanuel's Conjecture, and an adapted form of existential closure. Here we show that if…

We prove that Z in definable in Q by a formula with 2 universal quantifiers followed by 7 existential quantifiers. It follows that there is no algorithm for deciding, given an algebraic family of Q-morphisms, whether there exists one that…

We prove some general estimates for exponential sums over subsets of finite fields which are definable in the language of rings. This generalizes both the classical exponential sum estimates over varieties over finite fields due to Weil,…

We discuss definability in the language of rings without parameters of the unique canonical henselian valuation of a field. We show that in most cases where the canonical henselian valuation is definable, it is already definable by a…

We give a definition, in the ring language, of Z_p inside Q_p and of F_p[[t]] inside F_p((t)), which works uniformly for all $p$ and all finite field extensions of these fields, and in many other Henselian valued fields as well. The formula…

We show that the set of algebraic extensions $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ in which $\mathbb{Z}$ or the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_F$ are definable is meager in the set of all algebraic extensions.

In this paper we first obtain the genus field of a finite abelian non-Kummer $l$--extension of a global rational function field. Then, using that the genus field of a composite of two abelian extensions of a global rational function field…

We consider generalized quadratic forms over real quadratic number fields and prove, under a natural positive-definiteness condition, that a generalized quadratic form can only be universal if it contains a quadratic subform that is…

Split-complex fields usually appear in the context of Euclidean supersymmetry. In this paper, we propose that this can be generalized to the non-Euclidean case and that, in fact, the split-complex representation may be the most natural way…

We prove that no infinite field is definable in the theory of the free group

We prove that no infinite field is interpretable in the first-order theory of nonabelian free groups. We also obtain a characterization of Abelian groups interpretable in this theory.

We use a generalization of a construction by Ziegler to show that for any field $F$ and any countable collection of countable subsets $A_i \subseteq F, i \in \calI \subset \Z_{>0}$ there exist infinitely many fields $K$ of arbitrary…

In this paper, we prove the existence of a first-order definition of the polynomial ring over a nonprincipal ultraproduct of finite fields of unbounded cardinalities in its fraction field by a universal-existential formula in the language…
