    A note on the axioms for Zilber's pseudo-exponential fields

    We show that Zilber's conjecture that complex exponentiation is isomorphic to his pseudo-exponentiation follows from the a priori simpler conjecture that they are elementarily equivalent. An analysis of the first-order types in pseudo-exponentiation leads to a description of the elementary embeddings, and the result that pseudo-exponential fields are precisely the models of their common first-order theory which are atomic over exponential transcendence bases. We also show that the class of all pseudo-exponential fields is an example of a non-finitary abstract elementary class, answering a question of Kes\"al\"a and Baldwin.Comment: 10 pages, v2: substantial alteration

    Model theory of special subvarieties and Schanuel-type conjectures

    Full text link
    We use the language and tools available in model theory to redefine and clarify the rather involved notion of a {\em special subvariety} known from the theory of Shimura varieties (mixed and pure)

    Integration of Modules II: Exponentials

    Get PDF
    We continue our exploration of various approaches to integration of representations from a Lie algebra \mbox{Lie} (G) to an algebraic group GG in positive characteristic. In the present paper we concentrate on an approach exploiting exponentials. This approach works well for over-restricted representations, introduced in this paper, and takes no note of GG-stability.Comment: Accepted by Transactions of the AMS.

    Natural models of theories of green points

    Full text link
    We explicitly present expansions of the complex field which are models of the theories of green points in the multiplicative group case and in the case of an elliptic curve without complex multiplication defined over R\mathbb{R}. In fact, in both cases we give families of structures depending on parameters and prove that they are all models of the theories, provided certain instances of Schanuel's conjecture or an analogous conjecture for the exponential map of the elliptic curve hold. In the multiplicative group case, however, the results are unconditional for generic choices of the parameters
