Thematic Program on o-minimal Structures and Real Analytic Geometry, January-June 2009Graduate Courses held at the Fields Institute
|
|||||||
Three semester-long graduate courses will take a more detailed
look at the topics of the programme and will serve both students
looking for a research problem and established researchers hoping
to learn more about a particular subject. We plan to teach the three
courses in parallel; each course in turn will be split into three
modules. Each of these modules is four weeks long, with three hours
of lectures per week.
Tentative dates for these modules (in each course) are:
Module 1: Jan 19 - Feb 13
Module 2: Feb 23 - Mar 20
Module 3: Mar 23 - Apr 17
(The University of Toronto has a break during the week of February
16-20.)
All lectures will take place at the Fields Institute Rm. 230
unless notified otherwise.

Course on Topics in o-minimality
Module 1: O-minimality and Hardy fields
Instructor: C. MillerPrimary material: Hardy field theory as it relates to o-minimality; the growth dichotomy; and basic properties of the polynomially bounded case. More advanced topics and applications will be presented, as time permits, based on interests and preparation of the participants.
Module 2: Construction of o-minimal structures from quasianalytic classes
Instructor: J.-P. Rolin
In a first part, we recall the definition of quasianalytic algebras of functions or germs of functions and give several examples of such algebras. Then we prove that convenient quasianalytic algebras generate o-minimal expansions of the real field. One important ingredient of the proof is the technique of resolution of singularities as discussed by Edward Bierstone in his course.
Module 3: Pfaffian closure and model completeness results for Pfaffian chains
Instructor: P. Speissegger
(Lecture notes)The goal of my lectures is to outline a proof of Gareth O. Jones'recent result that the expansion of the real field by a Pfaffian chain and the exponential function is model complete. The proof combines both Wilkie's model-theoretic and Lion and Speissegger's geometric approaches to proving model completeness. Prerequisites for this course are basic differential geometry, basic model theory and the material covered by Chris Miller in his course.
Course
on Multisummability and Quasianalyticity
Module 1: Basic multisummability
Instructor: F.Sanz, J.P. Rolin, P. Speissegger- Gevrey asymptotics, Borel and Laplace transforms, k-summability.
- Cauchy-Heine transforms and decomposition theorems.
- Multisummability, iterated Borel and Laplace transforms, singular directions.
- Application: strong analytic transcendence from multisummability.
- Braaksma's theorem for nonlinear meromorphic ODEs.Module 2: Resurgent functions
Instructor: D. Sauzin- Reminders on Gevrey asymptotics and Borel-Laplace transform (cf. Schäfke's course). The Nevanlinna theorem. Examples (Airy, Ei(z), Erf (z), Stirling).
- The definition of "resurgence". Analytic continuation in the Borel plane and stability by convolution. Application to non-linear dynamics. The example of the saddle-node.
- Ecalle's "Alien calculus". The definition of "alien derivations". The "bridge equation".=
Module 3: Non-oscillatory trajectories
Instructor: F. Sanz
The course deals with the qualitative study of oscillatory and non- oscillatory trajectories of real analytic vector fields, mainly in dimension three. In the first part of the course, we describe several kinds of asymptotic behaviour that such transcendental objects can have: axial spiraling, asymptotic linking, separation by projection. In the second part, we will study non-oscillatory trajectories that belonging to new o-minimal structures, an application of the contents of the courses given by J.-P. Rolin, R. Schäfke and F. Cano.
