Abstract/Media

In this talk, I give an overview of a few strong tameness conditions on NIP theories, including VC-minimality, dp-minimality, and a few intermediate properties.  Specifically, I discuss these properties in the context of ordered groups, abelian groups, fields, and valued fields.  Time permitting, I conclude by talking about the VC-density problem in VC-minimal theories, exhibiting several approaches to the problem, including the UDTFS method and combinatorial methods.  A portion of this work is joint with Chris Laskowski and another portion is joint with Joseph Flenner.
