O-minimality

Time: 3:00PM
Date: Thu 17th February 2011
Location: Mathematical Sciences Seminar Room [map]

Abstract: I will give a presentation of o-minimality, aimed at a general audience.
O-minimality was originally a purely model-theoretic construction, linked to Grothendieck's notion of tame topology. It has since developed strong connections with real geometry and analysis, and even recently a small one with number theory (Schanuel's conjecture).
