Two remarks on polynomially bounded reducts of the restricted analytic field with exponentiation

Abstract

This article presents two constructions motivated by a conjecture of L. van den Dries and C. Miller concerning the restricted analytic field with exponentiation. The first construction provides an example of two o-minimal expansions of a real closed field that possess the same field of germs at infinity of one-variable functions and yet define different global one-variable functions. The second construction gives an example of a family of infinitely many distinct polynomially bounded reducts (all this in the sense of definability) of the restricted analytic field with exponentiation.
