Existence over an arid predicate
Martin Bays
(Oxford University)
Abstract
I will talk more on the topic introduced in my Week 2 talk, though this talk will be self-contained. As mentioned then, with Itay Kaplan and Pierre Simon we prove the existence property for stably embedded predicates in simple (or just rosy) countable theories, going via the notion of an "arid" predicate. I will present this result and its proof. Time allowing, I may explain how this recovers the result (proven independently by Chatzidakis and Afshordel) that any difference field with pseudofinite fixed field extends to an existentially closed difference field without extending the fixed field, and/or discuss other examples and non-examples.

We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Applied Mathematics to work with Professor Maria Bruna at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. This is a full-time, fixed-term position for 24 months, funded by a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. The starting date of the position is flexible, between January 2027 and October 2027.
Modern AI is a remarkable achievement of the mathematical sciences and is now, in turn, having an extraordinary impact on mathematics. Through filmed discussions and short interviews, we will explain and explore mathematical results, personal experiences and the choices that will shape our subject’s future.
