Generic derivations on o-minimal structures

Let $T$ be a complete, model complete o-minimal theory extending the theory RCF of real closed ordered fields in some appropriate language $L$. We study derivations $\delta$ on models $\mathcal{M}\models T$. We introduce the notion of a $T$-derivation: a derivation which is compatible with the $L(\emptyset)$-definable $\mathcal{C}^1$-functions on $\mathcal{M}$. We show that the theory of $T$-models with a $T$-derivation has a model completion $T^\delta_G$. The derivation in models $(\mathcal{M},\delta)\models T^\delta_G$ behaves "generically," it is wildly discontinuous and its kernel is a dense elementary $L$-substructure of $\mathcal{M}$. If $T =$ RCF, then $T^\delta_G$ is the theory of closed ordered differential fields (CODF) as introduced by Michael Singer. We are able to recover many of the known facts about CODF in our setting. Among other things, we show that $T^\delta_G$ has $T$ as its open core, that $T^\delta_G$ is distal, and that $T^\delta_G$ eliminates imaginaries. We also show that the theory of $T$-models with finitely many commuting $T$-derivations has a model completion.Comment: 29 page
