I will present a work on flattening by blow-ups in the context of Berkovich geometry (inspired by Raynaud and Gruson's paper on the same topic in the scheme-theoretic setting), and explain how it gives rise to the description of the image of an arbitrary analytic map between two compact Berkovich spaces, and why this description is (very likely) related to quantifier elimination in the Lipshitz-Cluckers variant of Lipshitz-Robinson's analytic language. (I plan to spend most of the talk discussing the results rather than their proofs.)

My goal, in this talk, is to explain a new notion of minimality for (characteristic zero) Henselian fields, which generalizes C-minimality, P-minimality and V-minimality and puts no restriction on the residue field or valued group contrary to these previous notions. This new notion, h-minimality, can be defined, analogously to other minimality notions, by asking that 1-types, over algebraically closed sets, are entirely determined by their reduct to some sublanguage - in that case the pure language of valued fields. However, contrary to what happens with other minimality notions, particular care […]
