Fields without points in a Brody hyperbolic variety.
Michał Szachniewicz
I will talk about a joint project with Vincent Jinhe Ye, about model companion of the theory of fields that do not have rational points in some fixed variety. Previously, Will Johnson and Jinhe Ye proved that if the forbidden variety is a genus greater or equal two curve, then the model companion exists. We were able to extend this result for a higher dimensional Broody hyperbolic variety V. The resulting model companion is called VXF and many results from the previous known case of curves immediately generalise. I will talk about them and about some open questions that arose in the project.

Existentially closed valued difference fields and positive NTP2.
Jan Dobrowolski
In a work in progress with F. Gallinaro and R. Mennuni, we aim to understand the class of existentially closed valued difference fields (of equicharacteristic zero). I will give an overview of the project, focussing on the following two questions: 1. Is the above class NTP2 (in the sense of positive logic)? 2. Is the reduct of an e.c. valued difference field to a difference field a model of ACFA? Motivated by the first question, we generalise several results about NTP2 to the positive setting, strengthening in particular the results of M. Kamsma obtained under the assumption of thickness (which we drop).

Affine Keisler Dynamics
Daniel Hoffmanm
It is an ongoing project with Kyle Gannon, but I am happy to present some results, hoping to get feedback and advice from the audience about the future developments. In the project, we are interested in passing from the action of Aut(M) on S(M) to an action of measures on Aut(M) on Keisler measures on S(M). Our method is by introducing to model theory a space of measures for which the convolution is well defined. This new space of measures is closely related to finitely additive probability measures on Aut(M), so to the paradoxical decomposition problem of Aut(M) and amenability of the theory. Anyway, the first goal is to provide a bridge between some Ellis semigroup and spaces of measures on Aut(M), which I plan to explain in more detail.

Generalized indiscernibles and n-dependence in continuous logic
Adrián Portillo
Generalized indiscernible sequences, first introduced by Shelah, and the modelling property, introduced by Scow, play an important role in model theory, specially in the characterization of dividing lines. We show that these notions and tools naturally extend to continuous logic. Moreover, the continuous modelling property is equivalent to having Embedding Ramsey Property (As in the classical case). We study and characterize n-dependence ($NIP_n$) for continuous logic and in hyperdefinable sets through the collapse of generalized indiscernible sequences. (As done by Chernikov, Palacín and Takeuchi for first order theories).

On compactifications of first-order structures
Grzegorz Jagiella
(work in progress, joint with K. Krupiński) I will talk about the natural generalization of classical notions of compactifications of various topological-algebraic structures, such as groups, rings or modules, to the appropriately defined category of first-order topological structures. I will present some categorical background and the previous work on this subject (mostly via universal algebra). I will show how compactifications of such first-order structures arise uniformly as quotients of their saturated extensions by certain type-definable bounded coungruences. The compactifications include the [definable] "universal" (or "Bohr") compactification of a structure, as well as its "[definable] profinite completion", obtained through the quotients by certain canonical model-theoretic "00" and "0" congruences. For e.g. pure groups, these congruences essentially coincide with the well-known 00- and 0- connected model-theoretic components. I will provide some examples of the construction with existing applications, and (if time permits) a further generalization to "approximate submodels".

Model theoretic events
Kyle Gannon
How do we randomly sample an infinite sequence from a first order structure? What model theoretic properties might hold on almost all random sequences? Can we do probability theory in this setting in a meaningful way? This talk takes these questions seriously. Building on the body of work around Keisler measures, we construct a plausible framework to engage with probabilistic phenomena. This is joint work with James Hanson.

The class of Krasner Hyperfields is not elementary
Piotr Błaszkiewicz
In this talk we wish to prove that the class of Krasner (factor) Hyperfields is not elementary. This talk will be a continuation of my previous talk at this seminar, and will be based on the definitions and results from the paper "The hyperring of adèle classes" by Connes and Consani, I presented before. Some of the useful definitions are in the attachment to this email. We will prove an algebraic claim using results from field theory (such as Chebotarev’s Density Theorem), which will imply that our class is not closed under elementary equivalence, hence it is not elementary. This is joint work with Piotr Kowalski.

On relationships between some Ramsey properties
Krzysztof Krupiński
The classical notion of ERP (the embedding Ramsey property) of a Fraisse structure (or the corresponding Fraisse class) translated to the context of a first order theory $T$ yields the notion of EERP (the elementary embedding Ramsey property) as defined in my joined paper with J. Lee and S. Moconja. We also introduced more general (i.e. weaker) properties DEERP [or EDEERP], where the colorings in question are assumed to be definable [resp. externally definable], which leads to important characterizations and consequences in terms of suitable dynamical properties of $T$. Hrushovski does something else: he does not assume any definability properties of the colorings, but he replaces complete types by formulas which brings out the unity in instances of structural Ramsey theory (which hopefully will be discussed in future seminars). I will show directly from the definitions that, assuming $\aleph_0$-categoricity, Hrushovski's notion of $T$ being everywhere Ramsey is equivalent to EERP. I will also explain it using a well-known characterization of ERP in terms of generalized indiscernibles. Moreover, while preparing this talk, I observed that if the language is countable, then being everywhere Ramsey implies $\aleph_0$-categoricity, which I will also present. As a corollary, we get that if a countable theory $T$ is everywhere Ramsey, then it has EERP, whereas the converse fails, as any countable non-$\aleph_0$-categorical theory with EERP is not everywhere Ramsey. If time permits, I will also prove equivalences between several definitions of being Ramsey from Hrushovski's paper

Model completeness of rational points of algebraic groups
Piotr Kowalski
This is joint work with Daniel Max Hoffmann, Chieu-Minh Tran and Jinhe Ye. We show that if G is a simply connected semisimple group scheme over integers and K is a model complete field, then the pure group of rational points G(K) is model complete. I will introduce all these notions and present a proof of the model completeness of G(K).

Structural Ramsey theory and definability patterns
Tomasz Rzepecki
In the seminar, I will introduce the Ramsey property as defined by Hrushovski in "Definability patterns and their symmetries", and discuss how it relates to the Ramsey property for omega-categorical structures à la Kechris, Pestov and Todorčević. Then I will describe the results related to this property from the above paper, including the canonical Ramsey expansion of a complete first order theory.

Variants of existential closedness for fields with operators
Jakub Gogolok
There are various interesting classes of "big" fields in algebra, such as (pseudo)algebraically closed, separably closed or large fields. In recent years, differential variants of those classes were introduced and studied, leading to very interesting results. In this talk we want to show how to treat all these notions in a uniform way, as variants of existential closedness in appropriate categories, for operators more general than derivations. Under certain natural assumptions we prove that some classes of "generalized existentially closed fields with operators" are elementary classes and give nice (uniform) geometric axioms for them. This unifies and generalizes many results from the literature, and also answers some open questions.

Compactifications of pseudo-finite and pseudo-amenable groups.
Anand Pillay
(Joint with G. Conant and E. Hrushovski). We give simplified and correct accounts of results of Pillay on compactifications of pseudo-finite groups. We develop a suitable continuous logic framework for dealing with definable homomorphisms from pseudo-amenable groups to compact Lie groups. We obtain a uniform analogue of Bogolyubov's Lemma for sets of positive measure in discrete amenable groups.

Measures on bounded PAC fields
Nick Ramsey
We will describe a construction for producing Keisler measures on bounded perfect PAC fields. We will explain how the existence of these measures entails that all groups definable in bounded perfect PAC fields, and even in unbounded Frobenius fields, are definably amenable. This was motivated by the now-solved question of whether every group definable in a simple theory is definably amenable and also out of a desire to better understand key examples for (the currently non-existent) $NSOP_1$ group theory. This work builds on our earlier constructions of measures for e-free PAC fields and a related construction due to Will Johnson. This is joint work with Zoé Chatzidakis.

Towards model theory of hyperfields
Piotr Błaszkiewicz
Hyperfields play a special role in the model theory of the henselian valued fields of mixed characteristic. They are used, in the form of so called $RV$-sorts, to provide numerous results, such as relative quantifier elimination. These particular objects are well known and well understood by the model theorists following the subject, however there is no model theory developed for the general theory of hyperfields. The goal of this talk is to look at the theory of hyperfields in general. We shall investigate some natural model theoretical questions one needs to ask when approaching this theory. We will focus on the question of the possibility of first order axiomatization of the class of Krasner factor hyperfields, and provide some partial results based on the work The hyperring of adèle classes of Alain Connes and Caterina Consani.

Measure doubling of small sets in SO(3,R)
Tran Chieu Minh
In a recent work, we show that if A is an open subset of SO(3,R) with sufficiently small normalized Haar measure, then \mu(A^2) >3.99 \mu(A). Our result was conjectured by Breuillard and Green around 2010 in the context of finding continuous counterparts of product theorems for groups of Lie type by Helfgott, Pyber-Szabo, and Breuillard-Green-Tao. In less precise forms, the question traces back to much earlier works of Henstock and Macbeath in the 50s. In this talk, I will discuss this result and its proof highlighting the fact that ideas from neostable group theory serve both as actual ingredients of the argument and as conceptual principles behind the stage. (Based on joint work with Yifan Jing and Ruixiang Zhang)

On locally compact models of approximate groups and rings and their applications
Krzysztof Krupiński
By an approximate subring of a ring we mean an additively symmetric subset $X$ such that $X\cdot X \cup (X +X)$ is covered by finitely many additive translates of $X$. I will discuss the proof of the theorem which says that each approximate subring $X$ of a ring has a locally compact model, i.e. a ring homomorphism $f \colon \langle X \rangle \to S$ for some locally compact ring $S$ such that $f[X]$ is relatively compact in $S$ and there is a neighborhood $U$ of $0$ in $S$ with $f^{-1}[U] \subseteq 4X + X \cdot 4X$ (where $4X:=X+X+X+X$). This $S$ is obtained as the quotient of the ring $\langle X \rangle$ interpreted in a sufficiently saturated model by its type-definable ring connected component, and the main point is to prove that this component always exists. The theorem leads (and may lead to more) structural or even classification results on approximate subrings, and I will present several nice applications.

In the first talk, I will give an overview of some fundamental issues concerning locally compact models of approximate subgroups, finishing with a discussion of approximate subrings. The other two talks will be devoted to my results on approximate subrings. By an approximate subring of a ring we mean an additively symmetric subset $X$ such that $X\cdot X \cup (X +X)$ is covered by finitely many additive translates of $X$.

Amenability and definability
Krzysztof Krupiński (University of Wrocław)
The general motivation standing behind this research is to understand relationships between dynamical and model-theoretic properties of definable [topological] groups and between dynamical properties of groups of automorphisms of first order structures and model-theoretic properties of the underlying theories. More specifically, our goal is to understand model-theoretic consequences of various notions of amenability.

Among the notions of amenability that we are interested in are: definable amenability of a definable group, classical amenability of a topological group, and, more generally, [weak] definable topological amenability of a definable topological group. We also introduce and study amenable theories.

The consequences of amenability that we obtain are the appropriate versions of G-compactness: for first order theories this is the equality of Lascar strong types and Kim-Pillay strong types; for definable [topological] groups this is the equality of suitably defined connected components $G^{000}$ and $G^{00}$ of the group $G$ in question.

Among our main technical tools, of interest in its own right, is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and also some results about measures and measure-like functions.

My series of talks will be based on my preprint “Amenability and definability” joint with Ehud Hrushovski and Anand Pillay. In the first series of talks, I will focus on the context of definable [topological] groups; the second series will be devoted to our new notion of amenable theory.

Difference sheaves and torsors
Piotr Kowalski (University of Wrocław)
I will describe some results from the joint paper with Marcin Chałupnik "Difference sheaves and torsors" (available at https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.06886). This work is not about model theory, but it is partially motivated by model theory of difference fields.

We develop sheaf theory in the context of difference algebraic geometry. We introduce categories of difference sheaves and develop the appropriate cohomology theories. As specializations, we get difference Galois cohomology, difference Picard group and a good theory of difference torsors.

Elementary equivalence theorem for PAC structures
Junguk Lee (University of Wrocław)
We introduce a notion of PAC structures, which generalizes perfect PAC fields and we provide an elementary equivalence theorem for PAC structures.

It is well known that elementary equivalences of PAC fields are controlled by their Galois groups: For given two PAC fields, if their Galois groups are isomorphic over Galois group over Galois group over a common subfield, then two PAC fields are elementary equivalent. The Key ingredient of this result is the Embedding Lemma for PAC fields, proved by M. Jarden and U. Kiehne.

We generalize Embedding Lemma for PAC fields into PAC structures and using our generalized Embedding Lemma, we deduce the elementary equivalence theorem for PAC structures. This is a joint work with J. Dobrowolski and D. M. Hoffmann.

Residue field domination in certain Henselian valued fields
Clifton Ealy (Western Illinois University)
The notion of the domination of a type by its stable part was introduced in the work of Haskell, Hrushovski, and Macpherson. In joint work with Haskell and Marikova, we showed that the key ingredient was not so much stability but the residue field, and we obtained similar results for real closed valued fields (where the residue field is unstable). Recently, with Haskell and Simon, we have generalized these results to Henselian valued fields of equicharacteristic zero with bounded Galois group.

In this talk I will explain the idea of residue field domination, sketch some of the proofs, and use the results to at least partially describe forking in such fields relative to the value group and residue field.

Generic derivations on o-minimal structures
Antongiulio Fornasiero (University of Florence)
Let $T$ be a complete, model complete o-minimal theory extending the theory $\mathrm{RCF}$ (in some language $L$). We study derivations $\delta$ on models $M \models T$. We introduce the notion of a $T$-derivation: a derivation which is compatible with the $L(\varnothing)$-definable $\mathcal{C}^1$-functions on $M$.
The theory of $T$-models with a $T$-derivation has a model completion $\mathrm{T^{\delta}_G}$. The derivation in models $(M, \delta) \models \mathrm{T^{\delta}_G}$ behaves “generically,” it is wildly discontinuous, and its kernel is a dense elementary $L$-substructure of $M$.
If $T = \mathrm{RCF}$, then $\mathrm{T^{\delta}_G}$ is the theory of closed ordered differential fields ($\mathrm{CODF}$) as introduced by Michael Singer. We are able to recover many of the known facts about $\mathrm{CODF}$ in our setting.
Among other things, $\mathrm{T^{\delta}_G}$ has $T$ as its open core, and $\mathrm{T^{\delta}_G}$ is distal.
We also examine the case of finitely many commuting $T$-derivations.
Joint work with Elliot Kaplan.

A Fraisse theorem for IB-homogeneous relational structures
Andrés Aranda (TU Dresden)
Fix a finite relational language $L$. An $L$-structure $M$ is called ultrahomogeneous if every isomorphism between finite induced substructures is restriction of an automorphism of $M$. Ultrahomogeneous $L$-structures have $\omega$-categorical theories with elimination of quantifiers and large automorphism groups with a finite number of orbits on tuples of any finite length $n$, so they are of interest in group theory and model theory.

The classical Fraisse theorem establishes a correspondence between ultrahomogeneous structures and classes of finite structures satisfying, in addition to the obvious restrictions, the joint embedding property and the amalgamation property.

In the early 2000s, the notion of homomorphism-homogeneity was introduced by Cameron and Nesetril, with further refinements by Lockett and Truss. In total, there are $18$ natural classes of homomorphism-homogeneous structures, but Fraisse theorems were not known for most of them until Coleman's work from last year, in which Fraisse theorems were identified and proved for $12$ of the $18$ classes. In this talk, I will present a Fraisse theorem for structures in which any isomorphism between finite substructures is restriction of a global bijective monomorphism.

Valuational weakly o-minimal structures with quantifier elimination
Jana Marikova (Western Illinois University)
Let $R$ be an o-minimal expansion of a group in a language in which $\mathrm{Th}(R)$ eliminates quantifiers, and let $C$ be a predicate realized as a valuational cut in $R$. We describe, in terms of symmetry of non-forking of certain Morley sequences, the class of such structures with quantifier elimination that are universally axiomatizable, after adding constants. This class properly contains the structures $(R,V)$, where $R$ is an o-minimal field and $V$ is a convex subring with o-minimal residue field. This is joint work with C. F. Ealy.

Bohr compactifications of groups and rings
Grzegorz Jagiella (University of Wrocław)
(joint work with Jakub Gismatullin and Krzysztof Krupiński) Definable topological dynamics shows that the classical Bohr compactification of a discrete group $G$ can be seen as a special case of "definable" Bohr compactifications. In turn, the definable Bohr compactification of a definable group can be described in terms of its model-theoretic components. The calculation of such components for some classical matrix groups, such as $UT_n(R)$ for a commutative, unital ring $R$, naturally leads to the development of ring analogues to the components of groups. In my talk, I will give the precise definitions of ring components and develop their preliminary theory. I will then describe the components of the groups $UT_n(R)$ and use them to give the precise description of their definable Bohr compactifications, including classical Bohr compactifications of the groups $UT_n(\mathbb{Z})$, e.g. the discrete Heisenberg group.

The formalism of generalised operators and related model theoretic questions
Moshe Kamensky (Ben-Gurion University)
The formalism of generalised operators, due to Moosa and Scanlon, is designed to deal uniformly with the algebraic and geometric questions around fields with additive operators, such as derivations and automorphisms, as well as their combinations. My talk will consist of three parts: In the second part I will explain my formulation of the formalism, where the such operators are presented as generalised monoid actions. I will discuss some general constructions, along with examples for particular cases. In the third part, I will survey what is known about the model theory of fields with such operators (mostly due to Moosa and Scanlon), and discuss some elements of joint work with Beyerslan, Hoffman and Kowalski. In the first part, I will survey some general facts about affine schemes that might be required as background.

Strongly minimal compact Kähler threefolds

Next we will talk about a conjecture on strongly minimal Kähler manifolds. This conjecture implies, that odd-dimensional strongly minimal Kähler manifolds are tori.

Interpretability of Galois groups of first order structures
Junguk Lee (University of Wrocław)
Let $T$ be a complete theory with uniform EI and QE in a language $L$. Let $\mathfrak{C}$ be a monster model of $T$ and let $K$ be a small substructure of $\mathfrak{C}$. We show that the sorted complete system of Galois group of $K$ is uniformly interpretable in the $L_P$-structure $(M,K)$ for any elementary substructure of $\mathfrak{C}$ containing $K$, where the language $L_P$ is an expansion of $L$ by adding a new unary predicate $P$. Using this interpretability result, we give a description of types in PAC structures in terms of sorted complete systems. This is a joint work with Daniel M. Hoffmann.

Weak independence theorem for PAC structures
Daniel Hoffmann (University of Warsaw)
I would like to present several highlights from a current project with Junguk Lee. We are studying PAC substructures (e.g. existentially closed substructures) of some monster model of a stable theory and our goal is to describe such substructures with the Galois theory. It turns out that there is a possibility for defining independence relation in a saturated PAC substructure and this perspective independence relation descends from the absolute Galois group. Our results generalize a recent theorem of Zoe Chatzidakis.

Companionability of torsion Abelian group actions on fields.
Piotr Kowalski (University of Wrocław)
This is joint work (in progress) with Ozlem Beyarslan. In our previous work (building on my joint work with D. Hoffmann), we showed that Galois actions of finitely generated virtually free groups are companionable. In this work, we deal with the case of infinitely generated torsion Abelian groups. So far, we have obtained partial results suggesting that companionability is closely related with the size of Prufer p-subgroups. I will present first a general model-theoretic background (chains of theories), and then proceed towards the examples of (non)companionable actions in this context.

I will also explain our results for an algebraically closed valued field $K$ in characteristic $p$, but assuming also that the group is a definable subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}(n,K)$.

Definable actions, weakly almost periodic actions, and continuous logic stability (joint work with E. Hrushovski and K. Krupiński)
Anand Pillay (University of Notre Dame)
We show the connection between definability of an action of a definable group in a structure M on a compact space X, the notion of weakly almost periodic actions, and stability in continuous logic. As a consequence show that if M is sufficiently saturated and we are given a definable action of a group G definable in M on a compact space X, then X supports a G-invariant (Borel probability) measure. This yields to a negative answer to a question of Krupiński.

Finding polynomial orbits.
Tadeusz Pezda
For a ring $R$, and a polynomial $F\in R[X]$ we consider an $n$-tuple $x_0,x_1,...,x_{n-1}$ of distinct elements of $R$ satisfying $F(x_0)=x_1,F(x_1)=x_2,...,F(x_{n-1})=x_0$, and call it a " cycle " of length $n$. We shall outline a way how to examine which $n$ may appear as the length of a cycle, when $R=Z_K$, i.e. $R$ is the ring of integral elements in a finite extension $K$ of $Q$ (and is the main object of study in algebraic number theory).

Quantifier elimination of pure extensions of abelian groups
Martin Ziegler
In 3-sorted structures (A,B,C), where B is a pure extension of A and C the quotient B/A, we give a quantifier elimination which translates a formula phi(x,..) into a formula psi(r(x,..),..), where the r,.. are simple definable functions from B to A and C^eq and psi speaks only about A and C.

Model theory of fields with free operators in positive characteristic
Piotr Kowalski (Uniwersytet Wrocławski)

This is joint work with Özlem Beyarslan, Daniel Hoffmann and Moshe Kamensky, which is available here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.00464 . I will describe the set-up (introduced by Moosa and Scanlon) of "B-operators" on rings. This set-up includes derivations, Hasse-Schmidt derivations and endomorphisms. In the paper, we give algebraic conditions about a finite algebra B over a field of positive characteristic, which are equivalent to the companionability of the theory of fields with B-operators (i.e. the operators coming from homomorphisms into tensor products with B). We show that, in the most interesting case of a local B, these model companions admit quantifier elimination in the "smallest possible" language and they are strictly stable. We also describe the forking relation there.

Jordan permutation groups and reducts of trees
David Bradley-Williams (Universität Düsseldorf)

When a structure, M, is presented to us (in a language L), it is a
natural problem to try to describe the "reducts" of M, the (relational)
structures on the same domain as M which are definable in L, and to do
this up to first-order interdefinability. When M is omega-categorical
(and countable) this is equivalent to describing the permutation groups
H such that Aut(M) < H < Sym(M) that are closed in the natural Polish
topology on Sym(M). This characterisation allows us to use the theory of
infinite permutation groups to study reducts (and vice-versa).

There is a particularly interesting class of permutation groups called
Jordan groups with the property that if G is a Jordan group then any
closed permutation group containing G is also a Jordan group. This fact
has already been used to study reducts of combinatorial trees (by M.
Bodirsky and H.D. Macpherson) and affine/projective spaces (by I. Kaplan
and P. Simon).

We apply results from the structure theory of Jordan groups and
semilinear orderings to describe the reducts of ordered trees that are
sufficiently homogeneous and, in doing so, identify an infinite class of
maximally closed subgroups of Sym(omega).

On Galois groups and PAC substructures
Daniel Hoffmann

In the talk, I will present several results from my latest preprint. It concerns the question whether a profinite group can occur as a Galois group of some Galois extension inside a monster model of a previously chosen stable theory. Does assuming projectivity of our profinite group reflect somehow in the properties of the Galois group? Yes - it turns out that any projective profinite group is the absolute Galois group of some definably closed substructure and in some circumstances it is even the absolute Galois group of a pseudo-algebraically closed substructure.

Homology theory of types in model theory
Junguk Lee

J. Goodrick, B. Kim, and A. Kolesnikov introduced a notion of amenable
collection of functors to a proper category C to develop some simplicial
homology theory in a category. An amenable collection of functors satisfies
good extension and localization properties. A typical example comes from
model theory by considering the category of small subsets of a fixed
monster model with partial elementary embeddings.

Given an amenable collection, we define homology groups and under
(n+1)-complete amalgamation, the n-th homology group is just a set of
homology classes of n-chains of a certain simple form, called n-shell.
Specially, the first homology group is always given by homology classes of
1-shell.

By classifying all possible minimal 2-chains having 1-shell boundaries, we
can compute the first homology groups. In model theory, the first homology
group of a strong type of a model is the abelianization of Lascar group.
For a given abstract group G, we get an amenable collection of functors by
considering G-action on itself by left multiplication. In this case, the
first homology group is the abelianization of G.

Tame regularity theorems for groups with a distinguished subset
Anand Pillay

(This is joint with  Gabriel Conant and Caroline Terry.)
Graph regularity theorems (i.e. Szemeredi) concern decomposing finite graphs
(V,W,R) into a small number of subgraphs (Vi,Wj,R|(V_i×W_j)) most of
which are  "almost regular", i.e. subgraphs have approximately the same
density.
When more assumptions are made on the relation R such as uniform stability
or NIP one obtains stronger statements with almost homogeneity in place of
almost regularity.
In the group version we consider finite groups G equipped with a
distinguished subset A and assumptions are made on the relation xy  A. One
seeks nice decompositions compatible with the group structure and this is
what I will talk about.

Difference modules and difference cohomology
Piotr Kowalski

This is joint work with Marcin Chałupnik. I will talk about our paper (available on https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.06960) which gives some basics about homological algebra of difference representations. We consider both the difference-discrete and the difference-rational case. We define the corresponding cohomology theories and show the existence of spectral sequences relating these cohomology theories with the standard ones. The main motivation of our work is to find a general difference counterpart of the generic cohomology of Cline, Parshall, Scott, and Van Der Kallen.

Stationary types in linear orders
Slavko Moconja

In the talk(s), the joint work with Predrag Tanović will be presented. We introduce the notion and do some investigation of stationary types in theories of linear orders. Most importantly, the relation of forking-dependence between realizations of stationary types is investigated, which turned out to be symmetric and transitive. We will show that the existence of some stationary types implies many countable models. Also, if all types over small sets (or just small models) are stationary, we will show that such theories are dp-minimal.

Virtually free groups and Galois actions
Piotr Kowalski (Uniwersytet Wrocławski)

I will talk about joint work with Özlem Beyarslan (the last version of our paper is available here: http://www.math.uni.wroc.pl/~pkowa/mojeprace/vfree4.pdf). We showed that for a finitely generated virtually free group G, the theory of actions of G on fields has a model companion, which we call G-TCF. We also gave an algebraic condition on G, which is equivalent to simplicity of the theory G-TCF. Recently, we learnt from Ehud Hrushovski an argument showing that if the group Z × Z embeds into G, then the theory of G-actions on fields does NOT have model companion. I will present this argument as well.

Some model theory of Galois actions
Piotr Kowalski

This is joint work with Özlem Beyarslan. For a fixed finitely generated group G, we consider actions of G by field automorphisms. If the theory of such generic actions is first-order axiomatizable, then we say that G-TCF exists. It is well-known that G-TCF exists if G is a free group (the theory ACFA_n), and it is also known that G-TCF exists for a finite G. On the other hand, it is also known that (Z^2)-TCF does not exist.

Using Bass-Serre theory, we give plausible axioms for G-TCF if G is virtually free. We show that in such a case, the theory G-TCF is simple if and only if G is free or finite.

Pillayem i mojej pracy z J. Gismatullinem. Używając tego, uzyskujemy główny wynik pracy: jeśli grupa automorfizmów struktury ω-kategorycznej jest średniowalna (jako grupa topologiczna), to teoria tej struktury jest G-zwarta. Istotnym elementem dowodu, który jest ciekawy sam w sobie, jest przedstawienie grup Galois rozważanej teorii jako ilorazów grupy automorfizmów, zinterpretowanej w modelu monstrum pewnej bogatej struktury, przez odpowiednie spójne składowe przez nas wprowadzone.

Lematy o regularności
Tomasz Rzepecki

Lemat Szemerédiego o regularności, w pewnym uproszczeniu, mówi że każdy dostatecznie duży graf można podzielić na pewną skończną liczbę części (niezależną od wielkości grafu) o prawie jednakowym rozmiarze, tak że prawie każda para części zachowuje się jak "graf losowy". Znajduje on zastosowanie w teorii grafów, teorii liczb oraz kombinatoryce ekstremalnej.

Wadą lematu jest to, że wielkość grafu konieczna do uzyskania pożądanej "losowości" rośnie bardzo szybko (szybciej niż każda funkcja wykładnicza). Okazuje się jednak, że gdy ograniczymy stopień skomplikowania grafu (np. gdy zażądamy, by był on definiowalny w ciele skończonym, lub rzeczywistym), można uzyskać dużo lepsze szacowania.

W czasie seminarium opowiem o niektórych wariantach i wnioskach z lematu Szemerédiego dla teorii stabilnych i NIP, wraz z powiązaną terminologią, oraz udowodnię wersję lematu dla teorii stabilnych w wersji udowodnionej przez Malliaris oraz Pillay'a.

Definable sets and regular types in linear orderings
Slavko Moconja (University of Belgrade)

In the talk we present joint work with Dejan Ilić and Predrag Tanović. We
discuss complete theories of linear orderings with unary predicates and
convex equivalence relations (equivalence relations with convex classes). We
study two problems: the description of definable sets and the number of
non-isomorphic countable models.

We define the notion of strong linear binarity of linearly ordered
structures and their complete theories. We prove that any complete theory of
a linear ordering with unary predicates and convex equivalence relations is
strongly linearly binary, and also that every strongly linearly binary
structure is definitonally equivalent to a linear ordering with unary
predicates and convex equivalence relations. In the proof we give the
description of definable sets in linear orderings with unary predicates and
convex equivalence relations.

Further, we study regular types (in the sense of Pillay and Tanović) in
theories of linear orderings with unary predicates and convex equivalence
relations. We prove that every non-algebraic, global, invariant 1-type is
regular and that every non-algebraic complete 1-type over a small set A has
precisely two A-invariant global extensions. As an application we obtain
that these theories have either finitely many or continuum many
non-isomorphic countable models.

Relacje równoważności niezmiennicze na działania grup, cz. 2
Tomasz Rzepecki

Będę kontynuował opowiadanie o wynikach ze swojej ostatniej pracy, Equivalence relations invariant under group actions.

W pracy pokazałem, że dla pewnej szerokiej klasy relacji niemienniczych na ciągłe działanie grupy zwartej Hausdorffa, na typowo definiowalne działanie, lub na działanie grupy automorfizmów modelu monstrum, jeżeli wszystkie klasy są domknięte lub typowo definiowalne odpowiednio, to cała relacja jest domknięta lub typowo definiowalna odpowiednio.

Dzięki temu można uzyskać rozszerzenie wyników z mojej ostatniej pracy z K. Krupińskim i A.

Around Hrushovski's stabilizer theorem and NTP_2
Pierre Simon (Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1)

I will discuss some work in progress around Hrushovski's stabilizer theorem from the approximate subgroups paper and applications to NTP2. I will in particular discuss Hrushovski's theorem, present a simpler proof of it and some variations. I will then apply it to definably amenable groups in NTP2 theories.
Joint work with Alf Onshuus and Samaria Montenegro.

Relacje równoważności niezmiennicze na działania grup
Tomasz Rzepecki

Opowiem o wynikach ze swojej ostatniej pracy, Equivalence relations invariant under group actions.

W pracy pokazałem, że dla pewnej szerokiej klasy relacji niemienniczych na ciągłe działanie grupy zwartej Hausdorffa, na typowo definiowalne działanie, lub na działanie grupy automorfizmów modelu monstrum, jeżeli wszystkie klasy są domknięte lub typowo definiowalne odpowiednio, to cała relacja jest domknięta lub typowo definiowalna odpowiednio.

Dzięki temu można uzyskać rozszerzenie wyników z mojej ostatniej pracy z K. Krupińskim i A. Pillayem o zastosowaniach dynamiki topologicznej do silnych typów w teorii modeli dotyczące związku między gładkością przestrzeni silnych typów a typową definiowalnością. Ponadto możemy wywnioskować analogiczne twierdzenia dla działań ciągłych grup zwartych (lub, szerzej, działań właściwych grup topologicznych Hausdorffa) na przestrzeniach polskich, oraz dla działań typowo definiowalnych (w miejsce działania grupy automorfizmów).

Półgrupy stabilne, wg Yatira Halevi, cz. 3
Ludomir Newelski
Będą przedstawione wyniki dotyczące struktury półgrup (typowo) definiowalnych w strukturach stabilnych. Wyniki te polepszają wcześniejsze wyniki L. Newelskiego. W szczególności, zostanie udowodnione, że półgrupa typów grupy stabilnej jest granicą odwrotną półgrup definiowalnych.

Dynamika topologiczna i złożoność silnych typów, cz. 4
Tomasz Rzepecki

W ciągu kilku najbliższych seminariów omówimy główne wyniki z pracy "Topological dynamics and the complexity of strong types" autorstwa K. Krupińskiego, A. Pillaya i T. Rzepeckiego. W teorii modeli istotną rolę odgrywają pewne grupy Galois danej teorii (głównie grupy Galois Shelaha, Kima-Pillaya oraz Lascara) oraz silne typy (głównie Shelaha, Kima-Pillaya i Lascara), które definiujemy jako klasy ograniczonych, niezmienniczych relacji równoważności rozdrabniających relację posiadania tego samego typu. O ile grupa Galois Kima-Pillaya może być naturalnie wyposażona w strukturę zwartej grupy topologicznej Hausdorffa, o tyle na grupie Lascara analogiczna topologia jest zwarta, ale niekoniecznie Hausdorffa. Podobnie dla przestrzeni silnych typów - iloraz przez ograniczoną relację typowo-definiowalną wyposażony w tzw. topologię logiczną jest zwartą przestrzenią Hausdorffa, natomiast na ilorazie przez ograniczoną, niezmienniczą relację równoważności topologia logiczna nie musi być Hausdorffa i może ona nawet być trywialna (a więc zupełnie bezużyteczna). Prowadzi to do bardzo ogólnego pytania: W jaki sposób traktować grupę Galois Lascara oraz przestrzenie silnych typów jako obiekty matematyczne i jak badać ich złożoność? Rozwijając dynamikę topologiczną dla grupy automorfizmów modelu monstrum, otrzymaliśmy głębokie związki między pewnymi pojęciami z dynamiki topologicznej oraz z teorii modeli. W szczególności przedstawiliśmy grupę Galois Lascara oraz przestrzenie silnych typów (na zbiorze realizacji jednego typu zupełnego nad zbiorem pustym) jako ilorazy pewnej zwartej grupy Hausdorffa. Używając tych wyników oraz wiedzy na temat zwartych grup topologicznych i deskryptywnej teorii mnogości uzyskaliśmy bardzo ogólne rezultaty na temat mocy [borelowskich] przestrzeni silnych typów, w szczególności odpowiedzieliśmy na pewne otwarte pytania. Końcowym wnioskiem jest trychotomia w pełni wyjaśniająca związki między fundamentalnymi własnościami (relatywną definiowalnością, typową definiowalnością, gładkością w sensie mocy borelowskich oraz liczbą klas) ograniczonych, niezmienniczych, analitycznych relacji równoważności.

Zbiory silnie generyczne, część 4
Ludomir Newelski

Zbiory silnie generyczne to nowe pojęcie wprowadzone przeze mnie w definiowalnej dynamice topologicznej. Może ono być przydatne również w zwykłej dynamice topologicznej. Przedstawię to pojęcie wraz z kilkoma zastosowaniami.
