Some remarks on definable complex analysis

Alex Wilkie
(Oxford University)
Abstract
Peterzil and Starchenko began this by developing the basics of complex analysis (Cauchy’s theorem, Taylor series, residues…) within an arbitrary o-minimal expansion of a real closed field. I look at more advanced topics from such a definable viewpoint (eg the Riemann Mapping Theorem) although to make any progress I have to restrict myself to (o-minimal) expansions of the real field itself. I am, of course, motivated by Zilber’s quasiminimality conjecture.
