- Les vecteurs de Witt et l'algèbre universelle, d'après Joyal
L'algèbre universelle et la théorie des catégories donnent un
éclairage particulier sur l'anneau des vecteurs de Witt. Je vais
illustrer ces idées à l'aide de l'exemple plus familier de
l'anneau des séries formelles, en faisant le parallèle avec les
vecteurs de Witt. Je ferai un rappel des notions utilisées sur les
catégories. On peut dire que l'idée essentielle est que le
foncteur « anneau des vecteurs de Witt « est
un foncteur adjoint.

16/02/10 : F. Miraglia (U. S. Paulo, Bresil)
- Faithfully quadratic rings (I et II)
Dans le premier de ces deux exposés nous allons établir les bases
d'une théorie des formes quadratiques sur plusieurs classes, assez
étendues, d'anneaux préordonnés. (Nous ne considérons ici que des
formes quadratiques diagonales à coefficients inversibles.) Cela
se fait au moyen d'une notion "intrinsèque" d'isométrie (qui prend
en compte le préordre de l'anneau). Nous donnons des axiomes très
simples pour cette notion d'isométrie dont la satisfaction
garantit que la théorie "intrinsèque" coïncide avec la théorie
"formelle", via les groupes spéciaux. L'identité de ces deux
approches entraîne des conséquences assez fortes.
Dans le deuxième exposé nous allons démontrer que les axiomes
ci-dessus sont vérifiés par certaines classes très étendues
d'anneaux préordonnés, parmi elles :
- une grande parties des anneaux préordonnés avec beaucoup
d'éléments inversibles (rings with many units) ;
- les f-anneaux réduits contenant les rationnels dans leur
ordre naturel (dont les anneaux de fonctions continues
réelles) ;
- les anneaux d'holomorphie réelle des corps formellement
réels.
-
08/12/09 : T. Servi (Centro de Matemática e Aplicações Fundamentais, Lisbonne, Portugal)
- Sur la décidabilité du corps des nombres réels avec une
fonction puissance générique
(Travail en commun avec G. Jones) Récemment nous avons démontré
que, si A est un nombre réel qui n'est pas définissable dans le
corps réel avec exponentiation, alors la théorie du corps réel
avec la fonction puissance x^A est décidable, relativement à un
oracle pour la coupure rationnelle de A. Je vais expliquer la
preuve de cet énoncé et donner une preuve de l'existence d'un
nombre réel générique calculable.

- (Co)dimension dans les algèbres (co)Heyting
Les algèbres de Heyting sont à la logique intuitionniste ce que
les algèbres de Boole sont à la logique classique. Toutefois leur
combinatoire nettement plus complexe n'est pas encore bien
comprise, même dans le cas finiment engendré. Nous verrons comment
une certaine notion de (co)dimension, calquée sur celle de la
géométrie algébrique mais valable pour les éléments d'un treillis
distributif quelconque, permet 1) d'apporter un peu d'intuition
géométrique sur la structure des algèbres co-Heyting (nées de
Brouwer), 2) de définir sur ces algèbres une pseudométrique ayant
de bonnes propriétés au moins dans le cas de présentation finie,
3) d'exhiber une axiomatisation finie (et éclairante) pour les
modèles-complétions de 5 des 7 variétés d'algèbres de Heyting qui
en admettent une, et quelques lumières nouvelles sur les deux qui
résistent encore.

- VC density in some theories of fields
The relationship between finite VC (Vapnik-Chervonenkis)
dimension and the independence property for formulae in
first-order theories was observed by C. Laskowski in 1992.
Since then, some explicit bounds on VC dimension have been
computed, although they are all rather large. The related
notion of VC density can also be understood
model-theoretically, and seems to be easier to compute. In
this talk, I will explain the above terms, with particular
reference to theories of fields. I will show how the VC
density can be calculated in some cases.

- The space of R-places of R(x,y) is not metrizable
Denote by R the field of real numbers. For
n = 1, the space of R-places of the
rational function field
R(x1,...,xn)
is homeomorphic to the real projective line. For
n > 1, the structure is much more
complicated. I will prove that the space of R-places of
the rational function field R(x,y) is not
metrizable. This result is announced by Machura and Osiak in
arXiv:0803.0676
(March 2008) but there are mistakes in the proof. The proof I
present fixes the mistakes and at the same time it is much
simpler. I will also explain how the proof generalizes to show
that the space of R-places of any finitely generated
formally real field extension of R of transcendence
degree > 1 is not metrizable. I will also consider the
more general question of when the space of R-places of
a finitely generated formally real field extension of a real
closed field is metrizable, and provide some partial answers.
This is joint work with Machura and Osiak.

Representations of positive real polynomials
We consider finite sequences
h = (h1,...,hs)
of real polynomials in
X1,...,Xn and
assume that the semi-algebraic subset S(h) of
Rn defined by
h1(a1,...,an) ≥ 0,...,hs(a1,...,an) ≥ 0
is bounded. We call h (quadratically) archimedean if
every real polynomial f, strictly positive on
S(h), admits a representation
f = σ0 + h1σ1 + ··· + hsσs
with each σi being a sum of squares of
real polynomials. If every hi is linear, the
sequence h is archimedean. In general, h need not
be archimedean. There exists an abstract valuation theoretic
criterion for h to be archimedean. We are, however, interested
in an effective procedure to decide whether h is
archimedean or not. In dimension n = 2, E. Cabral
has given an effective geometric procedure for this decision
problem. Recently, S. Wagner has proved decidability for
all dimensions using among others model theoretic tools like
the Ax-Kochem-Ershov Theorem.

Denominators in sums of squares and a theorem of Roggero
Positive semidefinite polynomial functions on real affine
varieties can always be expressed as sums of squares in the
rational function field by Artin's solution to Hilbert's
seventeenth problem. We show how Roggero's theorem on the
divisor class group of a real variety can sometimes be used to
control the zero locus of the denominators in a rational sum
of squares. In particular, we construct examples of
non-compact surfaces such that every psd function can be
expressed as a sum of squares without denominators.

Valuation theory and model theory of tame fields
A tame field is a henselian valued field whose absolute
inertia field is algebraically closed. Every algebraically
maximal field is a tame field, but not vice versa. While the
maximal immediate extensions of the former are unique up to
isomorphism, this is in general not the case for the latter.
As a consequence, one has to work much harder to prove nice
model theoretic results for tame fields. I will give a survey
on the known algebraic and model theoretic results for tame
fields and discuss the open questions. If time permits, I will
also discuss some valuation theoretic facts that were used in
the proofs of important theorems about tame fields and may
have interesting applications to other questions, some of them
coming from algebraic geometry.

Strip conjecture (conjecture de la bande)
The Strip Conjecture asserts that any polynomial f(x,y)
with real coefficients which is non-negative on the strip [0,1] x R
is expressible as f(x,y) = s(x,y)+t(x,y)x+u(x,y)(1-x) where s(x,y),
t(x,y) and u(x,y) are sums of squares of polynomials with real
coefficients (or, equivalently, as f(x,y) = v(x,y)+w(x,y)x(1-x) where
v(x,y) and w(x,y) are sums of squares of polynomials with real
coefficients). This conjecture has been around for about eight years.
Just recently I found a proof of it. I will talk about this.

Closures of preorderings and quadratic modules in polynomial rings
Since Schmuedgen's solution of the multidimensional moment problem in
1991 there has been considerable work done trying to understand better
the structure of the closure of a finitely generated preordering in
the polynomial ring over the field $R$ of real numbers. I will talk
about some of the results that have been obtained, and some of the
open problems. (There are still many more of the latter than there
are of the former.) From the point of view of analysis, and also from
the point of view of polynomial optimization, one is also interested
in the closure of a finitely generated quadratic module, so I will
talk about this too.

Difference equations and the André-Oort conjecture
I will explain in some detail how the model theory of
difference fields may be employed to prove a fibred local version of
the André-Oort conjecture, namely that if for some prime p
an irreducible subvariety of a universal abelian scheme over a Shimura
variety contains a dense set of p-special points (by which we mean
unramified torsion points on fibres which are themselves canonical
lifts at p), then that variety must be a sub-Shimura variety in the
sense of Pink. The proof makes use of
difference equations involving correspondences rather than merely
functions. The work to be described is a couple of years old and
the details may be found in my paper:

Elementary properties of Zariski - and real spectra
(Joint work with Niels Schwartz)
An elementary property of a
Zariski spectrum here is a property P of topological spaces, such that the
class of rings whose Zariski-spectrum have property P, is axiomatizable.
The original goal was to decide whether the class of reduced rings with
completely normal spectrum is elementary. I will characterize these rings
algebraically and show that the class is not elementary.
The same question will be answered for (reduced) rings with
normal spectrum, inverse (completely) normal spectrum, respectively and
for rings whose minimal/maximal spectra satisfy various topological
properties.
The work is motivated by the open problem on the topological
characterization of real spectra of rings. I will indicate some progress
in this direction, too.

Maps on ultrametric spaces, the implicit function theorem and differential Hensel's lemmas
We give a criterion for maps on ultrametric spaces to be
surjective and to preserve spherical completeness. We show how
(the multi-dimensional) Hensel's Lemma and the Implicit Function
Theorem follow from our result. We will also discuss possible versions
of
an infinite-dimensional Implicit Function Theorem.
Further, we apply the criterion to deduce various versions of Hensel's
Lemma for polynomials in several additive operators, and to give a
criterion for the existence of integration and solutions of certain
differential equations on spherically complete differential fields, for
both D-fields in the sense of Scanlon, and differentially valued fields
in the sense of Rosenlicht. We modify the approach so that it also
covers logarithmic-exponential power series fields.

Some remarks about the Global Analytic Nullstellensatz
In the first part I will explain the results obtained by Forster and
Siu in the '60's in the complex case, namely; Let H be a Stein
algebra, i.e. the algebra of global sections of the structural sheaf
of a Stein space: the Nullstellensatz holds for closed primary
ideals of H, any closed ideal has an irreducible decomposition into
(infinitely many) primary ideals, and one can give a necessary and
sufficient condition for a closed ideal to have a Nullstellensatz, in
terms of the primarity multiplicity of the primary ideals in this
decomposition.
For the real case, after a review of the results of De Bartolomeis and
Adkins that transport to the real case the Forster's and Siu's ones, I
will examinate some results giving sufficient conditions for closed
ideals to have a Nullstellensatz, assuming that this holds for
primary ideals.
At the end, for the case of real closed ideals one will show that
in dimension 3 the obstruction to solve the 17 Hilbert problem is also
the obstruction to get a Nullstellensatz for real closed ideals

Representation of sums of squares of linear forms
We will discuss the problem of estimating the number of
squares needed to
represent any sum of squares of linear forms over a ring A. This can
be used to bound the Pythagoras number of A-algebras B that are finite
modules over A. When A is a field k, this was considered by Pfister in
the '60s. In the '80s, Choi, Dai, Lam and Reznick looked at the case
when A is a ring of polynomials k[y] in one single variable y, and
settle the problem for k real closed. The only method available as far
is diagonalization over k[y]. Here we will see how to use
diagonalization for more general fields. Furthermore, we will see that
this also solves the case when A is the ring of formal power series
k[[x,y]] in two variables x,y.

Lower bounds for co-primeness and other decision problems in arithmetic
To prove that you need at least c(a,b) additions, subtractions and
divisions to compute gcd(a,b) *by any algorithm*, it is enough to show
that for suitably chosen, sufficiently large a >= b >= 1, the value
gcd(a,b) cannot be constructed from a and b using fewer than c(a,b)
additions, subtractions and divisions; but this method does not work
for the derivation of generally applicable lower bounds for deciding
whether a and b are co-prime, since the answer (0 or 1) is trivial.
I will describe a methodology for obtaining such results [with c(a,b)
= (1/10) log log(a), for co-primeness] and illustrate it with
additional examples of both kinds from the two articles listed below.
A pleasing feature of the method is that it identifies specific inputs
on which every decision algorithm must "take a long time", e.g., the
solutions of Pell's equations in the case of co-primeness.

Generalized Milnor K-rings, orderings, and valuations
We define the Milnor K-ring of a field F modulo a subgroup of its
multiplicative group. It generalizes the classical Milnor K-ring of F
and its mod m quotients. We explain how many arithmetical concepts
and results on valued and ordered fields as well as on quadratic
forms can be naturally interpreted in terms of this functor.
The new functor also puts in a natural and more general setting
many known results on the structure of the maximal pro-p Galois
group of a field containing a p-th root of unity for p prime.

A New Approach to Hilbert's Theorem on Ternary Quartics
Hilbert's Theorem on ternary quartics says that if f is
a ternary quartic --a homogeneous polynomial in three variables of
degree four-- and is positive semidefinite (psd), then f can be
written as a sum of three squares of quadratic forms.
Hilbert's proof is non-constructive, in particular, no information
is given about how many different ways it can be done.
In recent work with B. Reznick, C. Scheiderer,
and F. Sottile, we show that if f is a smooth psd ternary
quartic, then there are exactly 8 "essentially different"
ways to write f as a sum of three squares of quadratic forms.
The proof uses a construction of Coble for ternary quartics
over the complex numbers. Results in the singular
case will also be discussed.

Quasi-finitely axiomatizable groups
Under what circumstances can a finitely generated infinite group be
described by a finite amount of information? One way is the following:
a f.g. group $G$ is said to be quasi-finitely axiomatizable (QFA) if
there is a first order sentence $\phi$ such that $G$ is, up to
isomorphism, the only f.g. group satisfying $\phi$. I introduced this
notion in a 2001 paper, where the goal was to measure the expressivity
of first-order language for groups.
Fix a prime number $p$. Examples of QFA groups include the
Baumslag-Solitar groups $\langle x,d| d^{-1}x d= x^p$, and the
restricted wreath products $Z_p\wr Z$ (which are not finitely
presented). However, there also is a class-3 nilpotent group which is
not QFA.
In recent work, Oger and Sabbagh gave an algebraic characterization of
the nilpotent QFA groups, and showed that a nilpotent group is QFA iff
it is a prime model of its theory. Morozov and Nies gave examples of
QFA groups with very complex word problems. Extending their logical
methods, I have proved the existence of continuum many non-isomorphic
f.g. prime groups. In particular, there is such a group which is not
QFA.

Imaginaries in Henselian valued fields
In [HHM], it was shown that imaginaries in algebraically closed
valued fields can be reduced to elements of definable sets over the
field $K$ and the residue field $k$, together with certain sorts related
to the "affine Grassmanian", coding lattices over $K$. This was extended
to $p$-adic fields in [HM].
We demonstrate here a similar result for valued fields admitting
quantifier elimination in an appropriate language, with infinite residue
fields. The imaginaries are described relative to the value group and
residue field. We need a little more than the usual imaginaries of the
residue field: the imaginaries of certain finite dimensional vector spaces
over it come into play.

An elementary theory of real closed fields which carry all o-minimal expansions of R
We work in a first order theory called "Y-rings", which generalizes
the theory of real closed rings (in the sense of Niels Schwartz)
for o-minimal expansions of the real field IR.
The Y-rings K that are fields ("Y-fields") have the property that
for any o-minimal expansion M of IR, there is an expansion of K to
an elementary extension of IR.
The basic example of an Y-ring is the ring C(X) of continuous
functions from a topological space X into IR. The basic example of an
Y-field is the quotient field of C(X) at a z-prime ideal. The various
o-minimal expansions on an Y-field are reflected in the ideal theory of
Y-rings.

A local version of the André-Oort conjecture
We prove a $p$-adic version of a conjecture of Yves Andr\'{e}.
More precisely, let $p$ be a prime number, $R$ the maximal unramified
extension of ${\mathbb Z}_p$, and $n \geq 3$ a natural number prime to
$p$. Fix an embedding $R \hookrightarrow {\mathbb C}$. The moduli
space
of principally polarized abelian varieties with full level $n$
structure
${\mathcal A} = {\mathcal A}_{g,1,n}$ is defined over ${\mathbb
Z}[\frac{1}{n}]$. Let $\pi:{\mathcal X} \to {\mathcal A}$
be the universal abelian variety over ${\mathcal A}$. We say that a
point $\xi \in {\mathcal X}(R)$ is $p$-special if $\xi$ is a torsion
point
of ${\mathcal X}_{\pi(\xi)}$ and ${\mathcal X}_{\pi(\xi)}$ is the
canonical lift of its special fibre. We show that if $Y \subseteq
{\mathcal X}_{\mathbb C}$ is an irreducible subvariety containing a
Zariski dense set of $p$-special points, then $Y$ is a ``special''
subvariety, which in this case means essentially that with respect to
the
usual complex analytic uniformization of ${\mathcal X}({\mathbb C})$
that
$Y({\mathbb C})$ is uniformized by a homogeneous space for a Lie group.
The proof combines the corresponding result for ${\mathcal A}$ (due to
Ben
Moonen) with the model theory of difference fields and valued
difference
fields.

Classification of Artin-Schreier defect extensions, and characterizations of algebraically maximal and defectless fields
We classify Artin-Schreier extensions of valued fields with
non-trivial
defect according to whether they are connected with purely inseparable
extensions with non-trivial defect, or not. We use this classification
to show that in positive characteristic, a valued field is
algebraically
complete if and only if it has no proper immediate algebraic extension
and every finite purely inseparable extension is defectless. This
result
is an important tool for the construction of algebraically complete
fields. We also use the result to show that extremal fields are
algebraically complete. A valued field (K,v) is called extremal if for
all polynomials f in several variables the value set vf(K^n) has a
maximum. Restricting this condition to certain classes of polynomials
yields further interesting properties. In that way, we give
characterizations of algebraically maximal and inseparably defectless
fields. Finally, we give a second characterization of algebraically
complete fields, in terms of their completion.
As an example by Cutkosky and Piltant shows, a certain property called
relative resolution may work with one type of Artin Schreier defect
extensions, but not with the other. This connection with algebraic
geometry has to be investigated further.
This work was strongly inspired by the first part of Francoise Delon's
thesis.
Some results are generalized, some others are put in a larger
perspective.

Modèle-completion pour les treillis de dimension finie
There is a wide class of lattices in which the Krull-dimension
of the spectrum (that is the Stone space of prime filters)
is definable in a natural way, we call it the class of scaled
lattices. Boolean algebras, for example, are precisely scaled
lattices of dimension zero (by which we mean scaled lattices
whose spectrum has Krull-dimension zero). Our motivating example of
non-zero dimensionnal scaled lattice is the lattice of all closed
definable subsets of the power set $k^N$ with $k$ an algebraically
closed, real closed or $p$-adically closed field. It is remarkable
that the dimension of those lattices coincides with
the usual geometric dimension as we will check it.
As is well known, the theory of boolean algebras
admits as a model-completion the theory of dense boolean algebras.
We prove that the theory of scaled lattices of arbitrary
dimension N admits a model-completion and give an explicit
axiomatization of it, which boils down to the usual one
(density) in the zero dimensionnal case.

Galois cohomology of surgical fields
In "Corps et Chirurgie" Pillay and Poizat studied fields with a

some ordinal-valued rank. They showed that surgical fields (that is,
fields admiting such a dimension) were perfect and the absolute Galois
group was small (i.e. only finitely many open subgroups for each finite
index). We will study the cohomological behaviour of such fields, and in
particular of algebraic groups defined over them. Some knowledge of
Geometric Stability Theory and Algebraic Geometry will be assumed.

Orderability of Hopf algebras
We start by recalling the definition of a Hopf algebra.
The simplest examples are group algebras and universal enveloping
algebras. In fact, every
cocommutative Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field K of
characteristic zero is a smash product of the form U(L)#KG, where U(L) is the
universal enveloping algebra of some Lie algebra L and KG is the group algebra
of some group G. We will give necessary and sufficient conditions for such a
smash product to be orderable in the case when K is the field of reals and dim
L is finite.
Then we turn to the so called *-orderings on rings with involution. The
existence of *-orderings on U(L) was proved by M. Marshall in his recent paper.
It turns out that the problem of existence of a *-ordering on KG is more
difficult. We discuss some partial results in this direction. Finally, we will
state necessary and sufficient conditions for the smash product U(L)#KG to have
a *-ordering in the case when K is the field of complex numbers and dim L is
finite (modulo the problem of *-orderability of KG).

Encoding valuations in absolute Galois group
The talk provides an Artin-Schreier theory for valued fields: mutatis
mutandis, valuations on any field F are encoded in the absolute Galois
group of F, just like orderings. This comprises and generalizes the many
partial results obtained in special cases since the early 70`s. (matured
version of the talk I gave on the valuation theory conference in Saskatoon)

Recent developments in semi-algebraic geometry arising from
Schmuedgen's solution of the K-Moment Problem
Schmuedgen's solution of the K-Moment Problem (1991) makes essential use
of Stengle's Positivstellensatz, but otherwise Schmuedgen's methods are
functional-analytic. Recently, a purely algebraic proof has been
discovered by Woermann, based on the Kadison-Dubois Theorem. Also, in
the last 10 years, Schmuedgen's original result has been strengthened
and extended in various ways. The related question of Putinar on when
linear representations are possible was solved (in some sense, at
least), in 1999, by Jacobi and Prestel, using the local-global
principle for weak isotropy of quadratic forms. The Kadison-Dubois
Theorem has been extended, first by Jacobi and then again later, by
myself. The combined work of Jacobi and Woermann extends everything to
from level 1 to general odd level. A non-compact version of Schmuedgen's
result has been proved by myself, although the application of this to
the Moment Problem is still unclear, and more work needs to be done
here. The talk will concentrate on all these various developments in the
last 10 years, and will be designed for a general audience.

Quelques configurations de petits groupes simples de rang de Morley fini
Selon la conjecture de Cherlin-Zil'ber, un groupe
simple infini de rang de Morley fini devrait être
algébrique. Au regard d'une théorie des 2-Sylow
valide dans ce contexte, Borovik a élaboré un programme
de classification (s'inspirant de la classification des
groupes simples fini !) pour les groupes ordinaires,
les « tame groups ». Je parlerai de ce
qui peut être fait sans cette hypothèse, notamment
sur certaines configurations de « petits » groupes.

Equational classes of automorphism groups of ordered structures
By a variety of groups, we mean the class of all groups
satisfying a given set of (universally quantified) equations. If
T is a totally ordered set and A(T) is the group of all
automorphisms of T, then the variety of groups generated by A(T)
can only be the variety of all groups or one of the solvable
varieties. For each solvable variety Sn, we will describe the
structure of the set T and of the group A(T) if A(T) generates Sn.
We will also consider the question of solvability of equations in
A(T).

Anneaux PAC, PRC ou PpC
Les corps PAC, PRC ou PpC sont bien connus des theoriciens
des modeles. Il s'agit de corps satisfaisant un principe
local-global semblable au principe de Hasse, relativement
à des « clôtures » (la clôture algébrique pour les corps PAC,
les clôtures réelles/p-adiques pour les PRC/PpC).
L'objet de l'exposé est de présenter une
généralisation de
cette notion au cas des anneaux intègres, à l'aide d'un
principe local-global de même nature. On obtient ainsi des
critères d'équivalence élémentaire, de
plongement élémentaire
ou existentiellement clos comparables à ceux des corps PAC/PRC/PPC,
et des résultats de décidabilité pour diverses
extensions entières
de l'anneau des entiers relatifs.
