Background Material

This chapter provides some background material on definable sets, definable types, orthogonality to a definable set, and stable domination, especially in the valued field context. It considers more specifically these concepts in the framework of the theory ACVF of algebraically closed valued fields and describes the definable types concentrating on a stable definable V as an ind-definable set. It also proves a key result that demonstrates definable types as integrals of stably dominated types along some definable type on the value group sort. Finally, it discusses the notion of pseudo-Galois coverings. Every nonempty definable set over an algebraically closed substructure of a model of ACVF extends to a definable type.

AbstractWe give some general criteria for the stable embeddedness of a definable set. We use these criteria to establish the stable embeddedness in algebraically closed valued fields of two definable sets: The set of balls of a given radius r < 1 contained in the valuation ring and the set of balls of a given multiplicative radius r < 1. We also show that in an algebraically closed valued field a 0-definable set is stably embedded if and only if its algebraic closure is stably embedded.

The purpose of this paper is to study an analogue of Hilbert's seventeenth problem for functions over a valued field which are integral definite on some definable set; that is, that map the given set into the valuation ring. We use model theory to exhibit a uniform method, on various theories of valued fields, for deriving an algebraic characterization of such functions. As part of this method we refine the concept of a function being integral at a point, and make it dependent on the relevant class of valued fields. We apply our framework to algebraically closed valued fields, model complete theories of difference and differential valued fields, and real closed valued fields.

We construct a nontrivial definable type V field topology on any dp-minimal field [Formula: see text] that is not strongly minimal, and prove that definable subsets of [Formula: see text] have small boundary. Using this topology and its properties, we show that in any dp-minimal field [Formula: see text], dp-rank of definable sets varies definably in families, dp-rank of complete types is characterized in terms of algebraic closure, and [Formula: see text] is finite for all [Formula: see text]. Additionally, by combining the existence of the topology with results of Jahnke, Simon and Walsberg [Dp-minimal valued fields, J. Symbolic Logic 82(1) (2017) 151–165], it follows that dp-minimal fields that are neither algebraically closed nor real closed admit nontrivial definable Henselian valuations. These results are a key stepping stone toward the classification of dp-minimal fields in [Fun with fields, Ph.D. thesis, University of California, Berkeley (2016)].

Definition Of

This book deals with non-archimedean tame topology and stably dominated types. It considers o-minimality as an analogy and reduces questions over valued fields to the o-minimal setting. A fundamental tool, imported from stability theory, is the notion of a definable type, which plays a number of roles, starting from the definition of a point of the fundamental spaces. One of the roles of definable types is to be a substitute for the classical notion of a sequence, especially in situations where one is willing to refine to a subsequence. To each algebraic variety V over a valued field K, the book associates in a canonical way a projective limit unit vector V of spaces, which is the stable completion of V. In case the value group is ℝ, the results presented in this book relate to similar tameness theorems for Berkovich spaces.

Hensel’S Lemma

Let (K, v) be a complete rank-1 valued field. In this paper, we extend classical Hensel's Lemma to residually transcendental prolongations of v to a simple transcendental extension K(x) and apply it to prove a generalization of Dedekind's theorem regarding splitting of primes in algebraic number fields. We also deduce an irreducibility criterion for polynomials over rank-1 valued fields which extends already known generalizations of Schönemann Irreducibility Criterion for such fields. A refinement of Generalized Akira criterion proved in Khanduja and Khassa [Manuscripta Math.134(1–2) (2010) 215–224] is also obtained as a corollary of the main result.

In [4] it is shown that if the structure omits a type Σ, and Σ is complete with respect to Th(), then there is a proper elementary extension of which omits Σ. This result is extended in the present paper. It is shown that Th() has models omitting Σ in all infinite powers.A type is a countable set of formulas with just the variable ν occurring free. A structure is said to omit the type Σ if no element of satisfies all of the formulas of Σ. A type Σ, in the same language as a theory T, is said to be complete with respect to T if (1) T ∪ Σ is consistent, and (2) for every formula φ(ν) of the language of T (with just ν free), either φ or ¬φ is in Σ.The proof of the result of this paper resembles Morley's proof [5] that the Hanf number for omitting types is . It is shown that there is a model of Th() which omits Σ and contains an infinite set of indiscernibles. Where Morley used the Erdös-Rado generalization of Ramsey's theorem, a definable version of the ordinary Ramsey's theorem is used here.The “omitting types” version of the ω-completeness theorem ([1], [3], [6]) is used, as it was in Morley's proof and in [4]. In [4], satisfaction of the hypotheses of the ω-completeness theorem followed from the fact that, in , any infinite, definable set can be split into two infinite, definable sets.

AbstractWe extend the characterization of extremal valued fields given in [2] to the missing case of valued fields of mixed characteristic with perfect residue field. This leads to a complete characterization of the tame valued fields that are extremal. The key to the proof is a model theoretic result about tame valued fields in mixed characteristic. Further, we prove that in an extremal valued field of finitep-degree, the images of all additive polynomials have the optimal approximation property. This fact can be used to improve the axiom system that is suggested in [8] for the elementary theory of Laurent series fields over finite fields. Finally we give examples that demonstrate the problems we are facing when we try to characterize the extremal valued fields with imperfect residue fields. To this end, we describe several ways of constructing extremal valued fields; in particular, we show that in every ℵ1saturated valued field the valuation is a composition of extremal valuations of rank 1.

AbstractAn Ax-Kochen-Ershov principle for intermediate structures between valued groups and valued fields.We will consider structures that we call valued B-groups and which are of the form 〈G, B, *, υ〉 where– G is an abelian group,– B is an ordered group,– υ is a valuation denned on G taking its values in B,– * is an action of B on G satisfying: ∀x ϵ G ∀ b ∈ B υ(x * b) = ν(x) · b.The analysis of Kaplanski for valued fields can be adapted to our context and allows us to formulate an Ax-Kochen-Ershov principle for valued B-groups: we axiomatise those which are in some sense existentially closed and also obtain many of their model-theoretical properties. Let us mention some applications:1. Assume that υ(x) = υ(nx) for every integer n ≠ 0 and x ϵ G, B is solvable and acts on G in such a way that, for the induced action, Z[B] ∖ {0} embeds in the automorphism group of G. Then 〈G, B, *, υ〉 is decidable if and only if B is decidable as an ordered group.2. Given a field k and an ordered group B, we consider the generalised power series field k((B)) endowed with its canonical valuation. We consider also the following structure:where k((B))+ is the additive group of k((B)), S is a unary predicate interpreting {Tb ∣ b ϵB}, and ×↾k((B))×S is the multiplication restricted to k((B)) × S, structure which is a reduct of the valued field k((B)) with its canonical cross section. Then our result implies that if B is solvable and decidable as an ordered group, then M is decidable.3. A valued B–group has a residual group and our Ax-Kochen-Ershov principle remains valid in the context of expansions of residual group and value group. In particular, by adding a residual order we obtain new examples of solvable ordered groups having a decidable theory.

When studying the model theory ofthe first observation is that the integers can be defined asSince ∂exp is subject to all of Gödel's phenomena, this is often also the last observation. After Wilkie proved that ℝexp is model complete, one could ask the same question for ∂exp, but the answer is negative.Proposition 1.1. ∂expis not model completeProof. If ∂exp is model complete, then every definable set is a projection of a closed set. Since ∂ is locally compact, every definable set is Fσ. The same is true for the complement, so every definable set is also Gδ. But, since ℤ is definable, ℚ is definable and a standard corollary of the Baire Category Theorem tells us that ℚ is not Gδ.Still, there are several interesting open questions about ∂exp.• Is ℝ definable in ∂exp?• (quasiminimality) Is every definable set countable or co-countable? (Note that this is true in the structure (∂, ℤ, +, ·) where we add a predicate for ℤ).• (Mycielski) Is there an automorphism of ∂exp other than the identity and complex conjugation?1A positive answer to the first question would tell us that ∂exp is essentially second order arithmetic, while a positive answer to the second would say that integers are really the only obstruction to a reasonable theory of definable sets.A fascinating, novel approach to ∂exp is provided by Zilber's [6] pseudoexponentiation. Let L be the language {+, · E, 0, 1}.

AbstractLet $v$ be a henselian valuation of a field $K$ with value group $G$, let $\bar{v}$ be the (unique) extension of $v$ to a fixed algebraic closure $\bar{K}$ of $K$ and let $(\tilde{K},\tilde{v})$ be a completion of $(K,v)$. For $\alpha\in\bar{K}\setminus K$, let $M(\alpha,K)$ denote the set $\{\bar{v}(\alpha-\beta):\beta\in\bar{K},\ [K(\beta):K] \lt [K(\alpha):K]\}$. It is known that $M(\alpha,K)$ has an upper bound in $\bar{G}$ if and only if $[K(\alpha):K]=[\tilde{K}(\alpha):\tilde{K}]$, and that the supremum of $M(\alpha,K)$, which is denoted by $\delta_{K}(\alpha)$ (usually referred to as the main invariant of $\alpha$), satisfies a principle similar to the Krasner principle. Moreover, each complete discrete rank 1 valued field $(K,v)$ has the property that $\delta_{K}(\alpha)\in M(\alpha,K)$ for every $\alpha\in\bar{K}\setminus K$. In this paper the authors give a characterization of all those henselian valued fields $(K,v)$ which have the property mentioned above.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 12J10; 12J25; 13A18
