ACFA Seminar
In Fall '97 Dave Marker will give a series of lectures on Mondays
2:00-3:30 in 412 SEO on ACFA--the model completeion of the theory of algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero with an automorphism.
Chatzidakis and Hrushovski have shown that this theory has a very interesting model theory--it is an example of a "simple" theory and there is a rich interplay between model theory and algebra. This model theory plays an
important role in Hrushovski's proof of the Manin-Mumford conjecture for number fields.
I will attempt to prepare notes of my lectures and make them available.
These are in postscript format.
- part 1 Model Completeness, quantifier elimination and pseudofiniteness of the fixed field. (posted 8/29, revised 9/12)
- part 2 Independence, elimination of imaginaries.
(Posted 9/12)
- part 3 SU-rank, generic types of algebraic varieties
(Posted 9/24)
- part 4 where we are heading: number theoretic applications (Posted 10/1)
- part 5 strongly stationary types and local modularity (posted 10/13, revised 10/20)
- part 6 the dichotemy for degree one types (posted (11/14)
