Une théorie est équationelle si tout ensemble définissable est combinaison booléenne d'instances d'équations, c'est-à-dire des formules telles que la famille des intersections finies d'instances ont la propriété de chaîne descendante. L'équationalité, introduite par Srour et ensuite étudiée par Pillay et Srour, entraîne la stabilité. Or, le seul exemple algébrique naturel d'une théorie stable non-équationelle est la théorie du groupe non-abélien libre, comme récemment montré par Sela. Cependant, ce n'est pas évident de montrer qu'une théorie stable donnée est équationelle. Cet exposé présentera les idées d'un travail en commun avec Martin […]
This is a joint work with Yuri Zarhin. We study Kummer varieties attached to 2-coverings of abelian varieties of arbitrary dimension. Over a number field we show that the subgroup of odd order elements of the Brauer group does not obstruct the Hasse principle. Sufficient conditions for the triviality of the Brauer group can be given, which allow us to give an example of a Kummer K3 surface of geometric Picard rank 17 over the rationals with trivial Brauer group. We establish the non-emptyness of the Brauer-Manin set of everywhere […]
Je discuterai des contraintes que la géométrie d'une variété projective fait peser sur les possibles actions de p-groupes sur cette dernière. J'expliquerai en particulier comment le calcul d'invariants numériques, tels que les nombres caractéristiques, peut permettre de prévoir l'existence de points fixes.
Cet exposé essayera de donner une vision d'ensemble des différentes choses connu à ce jour sur les expansions du groupes des entiers (Z,+,0) avec un accent sur les expansions dp-minimales. En particulier les deux structures (Z,+,0,
All fields under discussion here are assumed to have finite characteristic p. This talk might be seen as a sequel to my survey talk at Françoise Delon's conference in June 2016, although it will not assume familiarity with this talk.Of interest here are two complete theories, namely differentially closed fields (DCF) and separably closed fields (inf-SCF) with infinite degree of imperfection. These theories are related. For example, the underlying field of a model of DCF is a model of inf-SCF, and the constant field is also a model of inf-SCF. […]
The TAC (torsion anomalous conjecture) states that for an irreducible variety V embedded transversaly in an abelian variety A there are only finitely many maximal V-torsion anomalous varieties. It is well know that the TAC implies the Mordell-Lang conjecture. S. Checcole, F. Veneziano and myself were trying to prove some new cases of the TAC. In this process we realised that some methods could be made not only effective but even explicit. So we analysed the implication of this explicit methods on the Mordell Conjeture. Namely: can we make the […]
In 1923, Dulac published a proof of the claim that every real analytic vector field on the plane has only finitely many limit cycles (now known as Dulac's Problem). In the mid-1990s, Ilyashenko completed Dulac's proof
Let G be a connected reductive group over C. One can associate with every spherical homogeneous space G/H its lattice of weights X^*(G/H) and a subset S of M of linearly independent primitive lattice vectors which are called the spherical roots. For any subset I of S we define, up to conjugation, a spherical subgroup H_I in G such that dim H_I = dim H and X^*(G/H_I) = X^*(G/H). We call the subgroups H_I the satellites of the spherical subgroup H. Our interest in satellites H_I is motivated by the […]
A divisible ordered abelian group is an exponential group if its rank as an ordered set is isomorphic to its negative cone. Exponential groups appear as the value groups of ordered exponential fields, and were studied in . In we gave an explicit construction of exponential groups as Hahn groups of series with support bounded in cardinality by an uncountable regular cardinal kappa. An exp-log series s is said to be log atomic if the nth-iterate of log(s) is a monomial for all n in N. In this talk I […]

The class of NSOP_1 theories properly contains the simple theories and is contained in the class of theories without the tree property of the first kind. We will describe a notion of independence called Kim-independence, which corresponds to non-forking independence 'at a generic scale.' In an NSOP_1 theory, Kim-independence is symmetric and satisfies a version of Kim's lemma and the independence theorem. Moreover, these properties of Kim-independence individually characterize NSOP_1 theories. We will talk about what Kim-independence looks like in several concrete examples: parametrized equivalence relations, Frobenius fields, and vector […]
