Interpretation of model theory in algebraic geometry

I found a paper Some applications of a model theoretic fact to (semi-) algebraic geometry by Lou van den Dries. In this paper, the author uses model theoretical methods to prove the completeness of ...

Existence of invariant valuations

Given a field $K$, one can enrich it via a valuation, an automorphism or both structures at the same time in a compatible way. In all of these three cases, the model theory is well-understood (under ...

What is the definable functor associated to an algebraic scheme (model theory of valued fields)

I have a very basic question regarding algebraic model theory. I am trying to read Espaces de Berkovich, polytopes, squelettes et théorie des modèles (MSN) by Antoine Ducros. The relevant section is ...

Is $\mathbb{F}_{p}(t)^{h}$ an elementary substructure of/existentially closed in $\mathbb{F}_{p}((t))$?

It is a well-known fact that the Henselization of the function field $\mathbb{F}_{p}(t)$ in regard to the $t$-adic valuation is $\mathbb{F}_{p}(t)^{alg} \cap \mathbb{F}_{p}((t))$, so of course $\...

Valued fields with quantifier elimination in the Macintyre language

For which fields $k$ of characteristic $p$ does the Witt construction of a discretely valued field $W(k)$ of characteristic $0$ with residue field $k$ eliminate quantifiers in the language of rings ...

Examples of NIP fields of characteristic $p$

Definition. According to Shelah, a field $K$ does not have the independence property (i.e. is NIP) if for every first order formula $\varphi(x, \bar y)$ in the language of fields $(+,\times,0,1)$, the ...

Completeness of Algebraically Closed Valued Fields(ACVF) Theory

One can prove Elimination of Quantifiers of ACVF finding an extension of any partial embedding of a model $K$ into a $|K|^+$ Saturated one using the language $\mathcal{L} = ( 0,1,+,*, U, \mid )$. In ...
