Elekes-Szabó for collinearity on cubic surfaces

Martin Bays, Jan Dobrowolski, Tingxiang Zou

We study the orchard problem on cubic surfaces. We classify possibly reducible cubic surfaces $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^3(\C)$ with smooth components on which there exist families of…

On large externally definable sets in NIP

Martin Bays, Omer Ben-Neria, Itay Kaplan +1

We study cofinal systems of finite subsets of . We show that while such systems can be NIP, they cannot be defined in an NIP structure. We deduce a positive answer to a questi…

Elekes-Szabó for groups, and approximate subgroups in weak general position

Martin Bays, Jan Dobrowolski, Tingxiang Zou

We show that with a suitable weak notion of general position, the Elekes-Szabó condition on the group operation of a connected complex algebraic group characterises nilpotence of t…

Density of compressible types and some consequences

Martin Bays, Itay Kaplan, Pierre Simon

We study compressible types in the context of (local and global) NIP. By extending a result in machine learning theory (the existence of a bound on the recursive teaching dimension…

Incidence bounds in positive characteristic via valuations and distality

Martin Bays, Jean-François Martin

We prove distality of quantifier-free relations on valued fields with finite residue field. By a result of Chernikov-Galvin-Starchenko, this yields Szemerédi-Trotter-like incidence…

Definability in the group of infinitesimals of a compact Lie group

Martin Bays, Ya'acov Peterzil

We show that for a simple compact Lie group, the infinitesimal subgroup is bi-intepretable with a real closed valued field. We deduce that for an infinite definabl…
