Sharp o-minimality: towards an arithmetically tame geometry
Salle W (ENS) et ZoomOver the last 15 years a remarkable link between o-minimality and algebraic/arithmetic geometry has been unfolding following the discovery of Pila-Wilkie's counting theorem and its applications around unlikely intersections, functional transcendence etc. While the counting theorem is nearly optimal in general, Wilkie has conjectured a much sharper form in the structure R_exp. There is a folklore expectation that such sharper bounds should hold in structures "coming from geometry", but for lack of a general formalism explicit conjectures have been made only for specific structures. I will describe a refinement of […]
