We take a look at structures that consist of a field together with finitely many distinguished field automorphisms required to commute. The theory of fields with one distinguished automorphism has a model companion known as ACFA, which Z. Chatzidakis and E. Hrushovski have studied in depth. However, Hrushovski has proved that if you look at fields with two or more commuting automorphisms, then the existentially closed models of the theory do not form a first order model class. This leads us to investigate them within a non-elementary framework. One way […]
A complete theory T is called geometric if the algebraic closure has the exchange property in all models of T and the theory eliminates the quantifier exists infinity. In such theories there is a rudimentary notion of independence given by algebraic independence. Examples of geometric theories include SU-rank one theories and dense o-minimal theories.An expansion of a model M of T by a unary predicate H is called dense-codense if for every finite dimensional subset A of M and every non algebraic type p(x) over A, there is a realization […]
(En collaboration avec Joshua Wiscons)L'exposé mélange théorie des modèles, théorie des groupes, et algèbre géométrique. On y parlera de groupes de rang de Morley fini, mais il suffit de savoir naïvement ce qu'est une dimension à valeurs entières, sans devoir maîtriser les finesses de la conjecture de Cherlin-Zilber.Un groupe abstrait porte peu d'information de nature géométrique, même au sens des géométries d'incidence, et c'est toujours remarquable si cela se produit.Le pur groupe SO(3,R), par exemple, permet de redéfinir l'espace projectif réel. PGL(2,C) permet presque la même chose : il définit […]
Any algebraic stack X can be represented by a groupoid object in the category of schemes: that is, a pair of schemes Ob, Mor and morphisms source, target: Mor &rarr

On s’intéressera dans l’exposé au problème suivant, appelé problème d'Ulam: si on prend une permutation s de {1,…,n} au hasard, uniformément parmi toutes les permutations possibles, quelle est la longueur de la plus longue sous-suite croissante de s(1), s(2),…, s(n) ?Ce problème d’apparence simple est en réalité très riche, et on verra qu’il est relié à certaines modèles de physique statistique, dont un modèle de polymère aléatoire.
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 […]
The class of NSOP_1 theories contains the simple theories and many interesting non-simple theories, such as the omega-free PAC fields or generic vector spaces with a non-degenerate bilinear form. With Itay Kaplan, we introduced Kim-independence which agrees with non-forking independence within the simple theories and shares many of its nice properties within the simple NSOP_1 context. One very basic roadblock in lifting simplicity theory to the NSOP_1 setting, however, was transitivity: a free extension of a free extension should still be a free extension. This is almost immediate for non-forking […]
La première partie du 16-ème problème de Hilbert est consacrée, en particulier, à la topologie des courbes algébriques réelles planes. Les courbes algébriques réelles semblent être éloignées de la géométrie combinatoire. On parlera de propriétés topologiques de ces courbeset on montrera qu'il est possible de les construire de façon purement combinatoire : certaines courbes algébriques réelles peuvent être obtenues en recollant des morceaux qui sont essentiellement des droites. Cette procédure s'appelle le patchwork combinatoire ; elle est directement liée à la géométrie tropicale (une branche des mathématiques qui est apparue […]
