AbstractThe notion of an angular function has been introduced by Zilber as one possible way of connecting non-commutative geometry with two ‘counterexamples’ from model theory: the non-classical Zariski curves of Hrushovski and Zilber, and Poizat's field with green points. This article discusses some questions of Zilber relating to existentially closed structures in the class of algebraically closed fields with an angular function.

Model Completion

Two questions on rings of strictly upper triangular matrices arising from B. Rose's work [5] are answered in this paper. An n × n matrix (αi, j) is strictly upper triangular if αi, j = 0 whenever i ≥ j. The ring of strictly upper triangular n × n matrices with entries from a field F will be denoted by Sn(F). Throughout this paper n will be an integer greater than 2. B. Rose [5] has shown that the complete theory of Sn(F) for an algebraically closed field F is ℵ1categorical. The first main result of this paper is that the rings Sn(F) and Sn(K) for fields F and K are isomorphic or elementarily equivalent if and only if F and K are isomorphic or elementarily equivalent, respectively (Corollary 1.6 and Theorem 2.2). This result shortens the proof of B. Rose's categoricity theorem [5, Theorem 7] by avoiding the co-stability considerations; furthermore, this result yields a proof of the converse of this categoricity theorem. The second main result is that the theory of rings of strictly upper triangular n × n matrices over algebraically closed fields is the model-completion of the theory of rings of strictly upper triangular n × n matrices over arbitrary fields (Theorem 2.5). This answers affirmatively the two conjectures at the end of [5].

Algebraically Closed Fields

AbstractIt is shown that no functor F exists from the category of sets with injections, to the category of algebraically closed fields of given characteristic, with monomorphisms, having the properties that for all sets A. F(A) is an algebraically closed field having transcendence base A and for all injections f. F(f) extends f. There does exist such a functor from the category of linearly-ordered sets with order monomorphisms.An application to model-theory using the same methods is given showing that while the theory of algebraically closed fields is ω-stable, its Skolemization is not stable in any power.

Algebraically Closed Fields

AbstractThe classification of the nilpotent orbits in the Lie algebra of a reductive algebraic group (over an algebraically closed field) is given in all the cases where it was not previously known (E7 and E8 in bad characteristic, F4 in characteristic 3). The paper exploits the tight relation with the corresponding situation over a finite field. A computer is used to study this case for suitable choices of the finite field.
