Construction Of A Structure Whose Grothendieck Ring Has Finite Characteristic

Abstract:


Grothendieck rings were introduced in model theory in the early 2000s. Roughly speaking, to each structure $M$ one associate a ring, called the Grothendieck ring whose elements are (formal differences of) definable sets modulo definable bijection, addition and multiplication reflecting disjoint union and Cartesian product.In this talk, we illustrate general ideas that can be used to construct, given a prechosen ring $R$, a structure that admits $R$ as its Grothendieck ring. We will apply these ideas to the case of $R=\Z[X]/N\Z$.
