Fields Model Theory Seminar (FMTS)
With Esther Elbaz, I am organizing a model theory seminar at the Fields Institute.
Research interests
I am interested in model theory and algebra. More precisely my research interests are:
- dp-minimality and arithmetic: expansion of the group of integers by p-adic valuations.
- dp-rank and algebra: classification of dp-minimal integral domains; example of dp-finite division algebras.
- generic expansions and the preservation of Shelah's tameness properties, such as NTP2, NSOP1, NIP, etc.
- expansions of fields with generic predicates: for subgroups, for subfields. Such expansions can be new examples of NSOP1 theories.
Publications
Preprints
- Vector spaces with a dense-codense generic submodule (joint with Alex Berenstein, Yevgeniy Vasilyev) We study generic expansions of a vector space V over a field F with a submodule over a subring of F, satifying some Mordell-Lang condition. This expansions preserve tame model-theoretic properties such as stability, NIP, NTP1, NTP2 and NSOP1.
- Enriching a predicate and tame expansions of the integers (joint with Gabriel Conant, Yatir Halevi, Léo Jimenez , Silvain Ridean-Kikuchi) We study the expansion of a theory by enriching the induced structure of a stably embedded in particular, we prove preservation of combinatorial tameness properties, such as stability, simplicity, NSOP1, NIP, NTP2. We use those results to answer several open questions on tame expansions of the integers.
- Existentially closed models of fields with a distinguished submodule (joint with Leor Neuhauser and Itay Kaplan): We study the category of existentially closed models of fields with a distinguished submodule, in the Robinson setting. We prove that this category is NSOP1 and TP2 in the positive sense.
- On algebraically closed fields with a distinguished subfield (joint with Leor Neuhauser and Itay Kaplan): We study the model theory of pairs (K,F) where K is algebraically closed and F is arbitrary with extra structure. We prove that tameness properties of F are preserved in the expansion (K,F). In particular we deduce that a PAC field F is NSOP1 if and only if its absolute Galois group is NSOP1 as a profinite group.
- Cyclic and non-cyclic division algebras of finite dp-rank: We give examples of cyclic divisions algebras of finite dp-rank, answering a question of Milliet. We also give an example of an IP cyclic division algbra of finite burden and a non-cyclic division algebra of dp-rank 16.
