Description

This seminar will focus on Diophantine problems in a broad sense, with a view towards (but not limited to) interactions between Number Theory and Logic. Particular attention will be given to topics with the potential of further developments in the context of this MSRI scientific program. This will provide an opportunity for researchers to update on new results, techniques and some of the main problems of the field.

Abstract: We prove Pila and Wilkie’s Counting theorem, following the original paper, but exploit cell decomposition more thoroughly to simplify the deduction from its main ingredients. Our approach in particular completely avoids ‘regular’ or C^1 smooth points, and related technology; which also allows simplifications around Pila’s ‘block family’ refinement of the result.
