Workshop: From Geometric Stability Theory to Tame Geometry
In honor of Ehud Hrushovski’s 60th birthday
Description
The aim of this meeting is to present recent major developments in model theory, especially those which exhibit the fundamental unity of the subject in its pure and applied aspects and those involving interactions with adjacent areas of mathematics. Furthermore we seek to bring together researchers from the model theory community with scientists working in other fields of mathematics which have witnessed successful applications of model theoretic methods, namely in valuation theory, non archimedean geometry, diophantine geometry, difference and differential algebra, algebraic dynamics, and combinatorics.
A central theme of this meeting is that the disparate strands of model theory, such as geometric stability theory, o-minimality, model theoretic algebra, and continuous model theory, share crucial features and interact deeply.
Some specific topics which will be represented include the following :
- classification theoretic conditions (such as stability, simplicity, NTP2, NIP, NSOP1 etc.), geometric stability theoretic results (such as the group configuration theorem, trichotomy theorems and their structural consequences), and their interpretation and applications to problems in combinatorics and geometry,
- tame geometry as seen through o-minimality and the model theory of valued fields,
- and model theoretic algebra, especially as seen through the theories of differential and difference fields and their applications to diophantine geometry and algebraic dynamics.
This meeting will be the occasion to celebrate Ehud Hrushovski's 60th birthday and his profound influence on contemporary model theory.
This event will be held in a hybrid format. In person attendance will be available only to long term visitors with building access. Otherwise anyone who registers can attend online via zoom. Please register using the link in the right column in either case.
