The model theory of large fields

21.05.2026 15:00 - 15:50

E. Walsberg (U Wien)

Large fields are an interesting class of fields first introduced by Pop in the 90's for Galois-theoretic purpose. They have subsequently been studied for a variety of reasons. As logicians we are interested in large fields because essentially all known logically tame fields are large.

I will discuss recent work on the model theory of large fields, joint with Will Johnson, Chieu-Minh Tran, and Jinhe (Vincent) Ye. Only minimal background in algebra and first-order model theory will be assumed.
