Motivic integration in vector spaces and related structures
Abstract: Most of what I will talk about is work by Vinicius C.L.
and will be part of his thesis. Vector spaces over division rings
are in general not pseudo-finite, but share striking properties with pseudo-finite structures. This can be proved by means of a
canonical finitely additive measure on the category of
definable sets in such a space. This measure takes polynomial values.
Much of this extends to the eq-expansion of a vector space, and some of
it to similar structures, like strongly minimal groups.
seminar begins with tea.
