Recall that a subset of R is called semi-algebraic if it can be represented as a (finite) boolean combination of sets of the form {~ α ∈ R : p(~ α) = 0}, {~ α ∈ R : q(~ α) > 0} where p(~x), q(~x) are n-variable polynomials with real coefficients. A map from R to R is called semi-algebraic if its graph, considered as a subset of R, is so. The geometry of such sets and maps (“semi-algebraic geometry”) is now a widely studied and flourishing subject that owes much to the foundational work in the… Expand

Whitney stratification of sets definable in the structure $ℝ_{exp}$
The aim of this paper is to prove that every subset of R definable from addition, multiplication and exponentiation admits a stratification satisfying Whitney’s conditions a) and b). 1.… Expand
The real field with an irrational power function and a dense multiplicative subgroup
TLDR
A first-order axiomatization of expansions of R by a dense multiplicative subgroup which is a subset of the real algebraic numbers, and a connection between the theory of Diophantine approximation and this structure is developed. Expand
Effective model-completeness for p-adic analytic structures
In this paper, we combine classical techniques of model theory of p-adic subanalytic sets with results of tropical analytic geometry to obtain a result of effective model-completeness. We consider… Expand
On the decidability of the p-adic exponential ring
Let Zp be the ring of p-adic integers and Ep be the map x-->exp(px) where exp denotes the exponential map determined by the usual power series. It defines an exponential ring (Zp, + , . , 0, 1, Ep).… Expand

Model theory of holomorphic functions
This thesis is concerned with a conjecture of Zilber: that the complex field expanded with the exponential function should be `quasi-minimal'; that is, all its definable subsets should be countable… Expand

TLDR
It is shown that the (O-minimal) theory of the ordered field of real numbers augmented by all restricted analytic functions and all real power functions admits elimination of quantifiers and has a universal axiomatization. Expand
Geometry, calculus and Zil'ber's conjecture
TLDR
The main result is recovery of an algebraic and later differentiable structure from a topological data, the Trichotomy Theorem, which states that under these assumptions every definable subset of R can be partitioned into finitely many definable manifolds-like sets with respect to R. Expand
Definable functions in tame expansions of algebraically closed valued fields
In this article we study definable functions in tame expansions of algebraically closed valued fields. For a given definable function we have two types of results: type (I), which hold in a… Expand
An effective version of Wilkie's theorem of the complement and some effective o-minimality results
TLDR
An effective version of Wilkie's theorem of the complement is proved, so in particular given an expansion of the ordered field R with finitely many C∞ functions, if there are uniform and computable upper bounds on the number of connected components of quantifier free definable sets, then there are Uniform and computables bounds for all definable Sets.

TLDR
Every formula ϕ in the natural language of ( R RE, constants) is equivalent to an existential formula with the extra property that for each x ∈ R m such that ϕ ( x ) is true in R RE there is exactly one y ∉ R n such thatψ ( x, y ) istrue in RRE . Expand
