Summer Graduate Workshop
Model Theory
Jul 23, 2012 to Aug 3, 2012

Organizer(s)

David Marker* (University of Illinois, Chicago), Thomas Scanlon (University of California, Berkeley), Carol Wood (Wesleyan University).

Contact

The workshop will consist of two minicourses, together with a selection of topical lectures.

In the model theory course, o-minimality, and specifically the concrete example of the semi-algebraic sets of real numbers will provide the setting in which we introduce various fundamental results from model theory.

The algebraic dynamics course will allow the introduction of concepts and proof techniques from number theory and algebraic geometryin the context of applications involving model theory.

Toward the end of the workshop, the two minicourses will converge on the Pila-Wilkie theorem  concerning points on analytic varieties, a result crucial in recent applications of o-minimality to diophantine geometry.
