In these notes we try to show that this is in fact the case by presenting several examples of o-minimal structures and by listing some geometric properties of sets and maps definable in o-minimal structures. We omit here any reference to the pure model theory of o-minimal structures and to the theory of groups and rings definable in o-minimal structures.

Let N be an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field. We show that if X is a Hausdorff definable manifold, then X can be covered by finitely many open definable subsets which are definably homeomorphic to open balls and the intersection of any two open definable subsets of this covering is a finite union of elements of the covering. We also mention the importance of this result in the solution of the torsion point problem for definably compact definable groups.

These properties allows us to obtain the main properties of the general o-minimal fundamental group, including: invariance and comparison results; existence of universal locally definable covering maps; monodromy equivalence for locally constant o-minimal sheaves - from which one obtains, as in algebraic topology, classification results for locally definable covering maps, o-minimal Hurewicz and Seifert - van Kampen theorems.

In parallel, we develop a sheaf cohomology of definable subsets in o-minimal expansions of the tropical semi-group $Γ_\infty$, where $Γ$ denotes the value group of $K$. For quasi-projective varieties, both cohomologies are strongly related by a deformation retraction of the stable completion homeomorphic to a definable subset of $Γ_\infty$. In both contexts, we show that the corresponding cohomology theory satisfies the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms, finiteness and invariance, and we provide natural bounds of cohomological dimension in each case. As an application, we show that there are finitely many isomorphism types of cohomology groups in definable families. Moreover, due to the strong relation between the stable completion of an algebraic variety and its analytification in the sense of V. Berkovich, we recover and extend results on the topological cohomology of the analytification of algebraic varieties concerning finiteness and invariance.

Paris 339 (2004) 411 - 416] on motivic integration, we develop a direct image formalism for positive constructible functions in the globally subanalytic context. This formalism is generalized to arbitrary first-order logic models and is illustrated by several examples on the p-adics, on the Presburger structure and on o-minimal expansions of groups. Furthermore, within this formalism, we define the Radon transform and prove the corresponding inversion formula.

Let N be an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field. We show that if X is a Hausdorff definable manifold, then X can be covered by finitely many open definable subsets which are definably homeomorphic to open balls and the intersection of any two open definable subsets of this covering is a finite union of elements of the covering. We also mention the importance of this result in the solution of the torsion point problem for definably compact definable groups.

Paris 339 (2004) 411 - 416] on motivic integration, we develop a direct image formalism for positive constructible functions in the globally subanalytic context. This formalism is generalized to arbitrary first-order logic models and is illustrated by several examples on the p-adics, on the Presburger structure and on o-minimal expansions of groups. Furthermore, within this formalism, we define the Radon transform and prove the corresponding inversion formula.

In particular a definable set in an o-minimal structure is definably compact (with respect to the subspace topology) if and only if it is closed and bounded. Definable compactness is then applied to the study of groups and rings in o-minimal structures. The main result proved is that any infinite definable group in an o-minimal structure that is not definably compact contains a definable torsion-free subgroup of dimension 1. With this theorem, a complete characterization is given of all rings without zero divisors that are definable in o-minimal structures. The paper concludes with several examples illustrating some limitations on extending the theorem.

As two consequences, we derive Pillay's conjecture for a saturated M as above and we show that the o-minimal fundamental group of G is isomorphic to L .

This is achieved by proving the relevant case of the o-minimal van Kampen theorem. This result is applied to show that if the geometrical realization of a simplicial complex over an o-minimal expansion of a field is a definable manifold of dimension not 4, then its geometrical realization over the reals is a topological manifold.

We complete the proof of the third author's conjectures relating definably compact groups $G$ in saturated $o$-minimal structures to compact Lie groups. We also prove some other structural results about such $G$, for example the existence of a left invariant finitely additive probability measure on definable subsets of $G$. We finally introduce the new notion of "compact domination" (domination of a definable set by a compact space) and raise some new conjectures in the $o$-minimal case.

It is shown that every such structure has an elementary extension N such that either N is a reduct of an ordered vector space, or there is an o-minimal structure , with the same universe but of different language from N , with (i) Every definable set in N is definable in , and (ii) has an elementary substructure in which every bounded interval admits a definable real closed field. As a result certain questions about definably compact groups can be reduced to either ordered vector spaces or expansions of real closed fields. Using the known results in these two settings, the number of torsion points in definably compact abelian groups in expansions of ordered groups is given. Pillay's Conjecture for such groups follows.

We raise some conjectures in the case where the ambient structure is o-minimal. The gist is that in this o-minimal case, any definable group G should have a smallest type-definable subgroup of bounded index, and that the quotient, when equipped with the logic topology, should be a compact Lie group of the "right" dimension. I give positive answers to the conjectures in the special cases when G is 1-dimensional, and when G is definably simple.

As a byproduct, they obtained subanalytic sheaves and the six Grothendieck operations on them. The aim of this paper is to give a direct construction of the six Grothendieck operations in the framework of subanalytic sites avoiding the heavy machinery of ind-sheaves. As an application, we show how to recover the subanalytic sheaves _O_t and _O_w of temperate and Whitney holomorphic functions respectively.

In<italic>Definably simple groups in o-minimal structures</italic>, we showed that every such group is a semialgebraic group over a real closed field. Our main result here, stated in a model theoretic language, is that every such group is either bi-interpretable with an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero (when the group is stable) or with a real closed field (when the group is unstable). It follows that every abstract isomorphism between two unstable groups as above is a composition of a semialgebraic map with a field isomorphism. We discuss connections to theorems of Freudenthal, Borel-Tits and Weisfeiler on automorphisms of real Lie groups and simple algebraic groups over real closed fields.

Let be the space of complete n -types over M equipped with the following topology: The basic open sets of are of the form Ũ = { p ∈ S n ( M ): U ∈ p } for U an open definable subset of M n . is a spectral space. (For M = K a real closed field, is precisely the real spectrum of K [ X 1 , …, X n ]; see [CR].) We will equip with a sheaf of L M -structures (where L M is a suitable language). Again for M a real closed field this corresponds to the structure sheaf on (see [S]). Our main point is that when Th( M ) has definable Skolem functions, then if p ∈ , it follows that M ( p ), the definable ultrapower of M at p , can be factored through M p , the stalk at p with respect to the above sheaf. This depends on the observation that if M ≺ N, a ∈ N n and f is an M -definable (partial) function defined at a , then there is an open M -definable set U ⊂ N n with a ∈ U , and a continuous M -definable function g : U → N such that g(a) = f(a) . In the case that M is an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field (or M is a p -adically closed field), it turns out that M(p) can be recovered as the unique quotient of M p which is an elementary extension of M .

The starting point of all the development is Pillay's theorem that a definable group is a definable group manifold (see Section 2). This implies that when the group has the order type of the reals, we have a real Lie group. The main lines of research in the subject so far have been the following:

We introduce topological methods into the model theory of valued fields, define an analogue $\hat {V}$ of the Berkovich analytification $V^{an}$ of $V$, and deduce several new results on Berkovich spaces from it. In particular we show that $V^{an}$ retracts to a finite simplicial complex and is locally contractible, without any smoothness assumption on $V$. When $V$ varies in an algebraic family, we show that the homotopy type of $V^{an}$ takes only a finite number of values. The space $\hat {V}$ is obtained by defining a topology on the pro-definable set of stably dominated types on $V$. The key result is the construction of a pro-definable strong retraction of $\hat {V}$ to an o-minimal subspace, the skeleton, definably homeomorphic to a space definable over the value group with its piecewise linear structure.

Classical examples … Let M = 〈M, <, …〉 be alinearly ordered structure. We define M to be o-minimal if every definable subset of M is a finite union of intervals. Classical examples are ordered divisible abelian groups and real closed fields. We prove a trichotomy theorem for the structure that an arbitraryo-minimal M can induce on a neighbourhood of any a in M. Roughly said, one of the following holds: (i) a is trivial (technical term), or (ii) a has a convex neighbourhood on which M induces the structure of an ordered vector space, or (iii) a is contained in an open interval on which M induces the structure of an expansion of a real closed field. The proof uses 'geometric calculus' which allows one to recover a differentiable structure by purely geometric methods. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 03C45; secondary 03C52, 12J15, 14P10.

Said differently, every such is an expansion of = ‹ℝ, +, &lt;, λ a , B i › a ∈ℝ, i ∈ I where { B i } i ∈ I is the collection of all bounded semialgebraic sets and the λ a 's are scalar multiplication by a . In [PSS] (see Theorem 1.2 below) it was shown that the structure is a proper reduct of ; that is, one cannot define in it all the semialgebraic sets. In [Pe] we show that is the only reduct properly between ℳ and . As a first step towards this result, we investigate in this paper the definable sets in reducts such as . (We point out that ‘definable’ will always mean ‘definable with parameters’.) Definition 1.1. Let X ⊆ ℝ n . X is called semi-bounded if it is definable in the structure ‹ℝ, +, &lt;, λ a , B 1 , …, B k › a ∈ℝ , where the B i 's are bounded subsets of ℝ n . The main result of this paper (see Theorem 3.1) shows roughly that, in Ominimal expansions of that satisfy the partition condition (see Definition 2.3), every semibounded set can be partitioned into finitely many sets, each of which is of a form similar to a cylinder. Namely, these sets are obtained through the “stretching” of a bounded cell by finitely many linear vectors. As a corollary (see Theorem 1.4), we get different characterizations of semibounded sets, either in terms of their structure or in terms of their definability power. The following result, by A. Pillay, P. Scowcroft and C. Steinhorn, was the main motivation for this paper. The theorem is formulated here in a slightly stronger form than originally, but the proof itself is essentially the original one. A short version of the proof is included in §4.

Despite the general validity of the cell decomposition theorem, we do not know whether any definably compact set is a definable CW-complex. Moreover the closure of an o-minimal cell can have arbitrarily high Betti numbers. Nevertheless we prove that the cohomology groups of a definably compact set over an o-minimal expansion of a group are finitely generated and invariant under elementary extensions and expansions of the language.

Allowing arbitrary reals as constants, this characterization consists of the identification of the definable sets with the semialgebraic sets.(A semialgebraic subset of R m is by definition a finite union of sets of the form {x e R w : p(x) = 0, q x (x) > 0,...,q k (x) > 0} where p,q 1 ,...,q k are real polynomials.)The fact that the system of semialgebraic sets is closed under definability is also known as the Tarski-Seidenberg theorem, and this property, together with the topological finiteness phenomena that go with it-triangulability of semialgebraic sets [L2, Gi], generic triviality of semialgebraic maps [Ha]-make the theory of semialgebraic sets a useful analytic-topological tool.Below we extend the system of semialgebraic sets in such a way that the Tarski-Seidenberg property, i.e., closure under definability, and the topological finiteness phenomena are preserved.The polynomial growth property of semialgebraic functions is also preserved.This extended system contains the arctangent function on R, the sine function on any bounded interval, the exponential function e x on any bounded interval, but not the exponential function on all of R. (And it couldn't possibly contain the sine function on all of R without sacrificing the finiteness phenomena, and a lot more.)As a corollary we obtain that neither the exponential function on R, nor the set of integers, is definable from addition, multiplication, and the restrictions of the sine and exponential functions to bounded intervals.Questions of this type have puzzled logicians for a long time.(There still remain, of course, countless unsolved problems of this sort.)In a more positive spirit Tarski [T, p. 45] asked to extend his results so as to include, besides the algebraic operations on R, certain transcendental elementary functions like e x ; the theorem below is a partial answer.(More recently, Hovanskii [Ho, p. 562] and the author [VdDl, VdD2] asked similar questions, and in [VdD3] we

Let be the space of complete n -types over M equipped with the following topology: The basic open sets of are of the form Ũ = { p ∈ S n ( M ): U ∈ p } for U an open definable subset of M n . is a spectral space. (For M = K a real closed field, is precisely the real spectrum of K [ X 1 , …, X n ]; see [CR].) We will equip with a sheaf of L M -structures (where L M is a suitable language). Again for M a real closed field this corresponds to the structure sheaf on (see [S]). Our main point is that when Th( M ) has definable Skolem functions, then if p ∈ , it follows that M ( p ), the definable ultrapower of M at p , can be factored through M p , the stalk at p with respect to the above sheaf. This depends on the observation that if M ≺ N, a ∈ N n and f is an M -definable (partial) function defined at a , then there is an open M -definable set U ⊂ N n with a ∈ U , and a continuous M -definable function g : U → N such that g(a) = f(a) . In the case that M is an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field (or M is a p -adically closed field), it turns out that M(p) can be recovered as the unique quotient of M p which is an elementary extension of M .

We write a first order sentence which is true in the Lipshitz-Robinson structure but fails in any possible interpretation over the field of real numbers.
