Abstract

We prove the Zil'ber Trichotomy Principle for all 1-dimensional structures which are definable in o-minimal ones. In particular, we show that any stable 1-dimensional structure is necessarily locally modular. The main tool is a theory for intersection of curves which we develop.

These conjectures predict a classification of all sufficiently complex, that is, non-locally modular, strongly minimal structures which can be interpreted from such fields. Such problems have been historically divided into `lower dimensional' and `higher dimensional' cases; this thesis is devoted to a number of partial results in the higher dimensional cases. In particular, in ACF_0 and over o-minimal fields, we prove that all higher dimensional strongly minimal structures whose definable sets satisfy certain geometric restrictions are locally modular. We also make progress toward verifying these geometric restrictions in any counterexample. Finally, in the last chapter we give a full proof of local modularity for strongly minimal expansions of higher dimensional groups in ACF_0.

More precisely, let $\mathcal R$ be an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field, let $M$ be an interpretable set in $\mathcal R$, and let $\mathcal M=(M,...)$ be a reduct of the induced structure on $M$. If $\mathcal M$ is strongly minimal and not locally modular, then $\dim_{\mathcal R}(M)=2$. As an application, we prove the Zilber trichotomy for all strongly minimal structures interpreted in the theory of compact complex manifolds.

These notes give a self-contained treatment of the theory of o-minimal structures from a geometric and topological viewpoint, assuming only rudimentary algebra and analysis. The book starts with an introduction and overview of the subject. Later chapters cover the monotonicity theorem, cell decomposition, and the Euler characteristic in the o-minimal setting and show how these notions are easier to handle than in ordinary topology. The remarkable combinatorial property of o-minimal structures, the Vapnik-Chervonenkis property, is also covered. This book should be of interest to model theorists, analytic geometers and topologists.

The areas of expertise spanned from expansions of o-minimal structures preserving tame geometric properties to expansions of specified fields by classical operators that preserve neo-stability properties. There were presentations and discussions on recent developments in definable groups and decompositions in relatively tame setups, the interplay of different notions of dimension and closure operators, and applications of the model theory of differential fields to diophantine geometry.
We consider definable topological spaces of dimension one in o-minimal structures, and state several equivalent conditions for when such a topological space $\left(X,\tau\right)$ is definably homeomorphic to an affine definable … We consider definable topological spaces of dimension one in o-minimal structures, and state several equivalent conditions for when such a topological space $\left(X,\tau\right)$ is definably homeomorphic to an affine definable space (namely, a definable subset of $M^{n}$ with the induced subspace topology). One of the main results says that it is sufficient for $X$ to be regular and decompose into finitely many definably connected components.

We verify the so-called Zilber-Pink Conjecture in a product of modular curves on assuming a lower bound for Galois orbits and a sufficiently strong modular Ax-Schanuel Conjecture. In the context of abelian varieties we obtain the Zilber-Pink Conjecture for curves unconditionally when everything is defined over a number field. For higher dimensional subvarieties of abelian varieties we obtain some weaker results and some conditional results.
