The starting point for this dissertation is whether the concept of Zariski geometry, introduced by Hrushovski and Zilber, could be generalized to the context of nonelementary classes. This leads to the axiomatization of Zariski-like structures. As our main result, we prove that if the canonical pregeometry of a Zariski-like structure is non locally modular, then the structure interprets either ...

For a module M over commutative ring R with identity, let RSpec(M) denote the collection of all submodules L Msuch that ?(L:M) is prime ideal and equal to (rad L:M). In this article, we topologies topology which enjoys analogs many properties Zariski on spectrum Spec(M) (as subspace topology). We investigate topological space from point view spectral spaces by establishing interrelations betwee...

Our goal for this lecture is to prove that morphisms of projective varieties are closed maps. In fact we will prove something stronger, that projective varieties are complete, a property that plays a role comparable to compactness in topology. For varieties, compactness as a topological space does not mean much because the Zariski topology is so coarse. Indeed, every subset of An (and hence of ...

The action of a noncompact semisimple Lie group G on a finite dimensional real vector space V is said to be stable if there exists a nonempty Zariski open subset O of V such that the orbit G(v) is closed in V for all v ∈ O. We study a Hilbert-Mumford numerical function M : V → R defined by A. Marian that extends the corresponding function in the complex setting defined by D. Mumford and studied...

We ask whether the notion of a homotopy class of a path on a complex algebraic variety admits a purely algebraic characterisation, and reformulate this question as a question of categoricity of the universal covering space of a complex algebraic variety in a natural countable in nitary language. We provide partial positive results towards the question. Assuming a conjecture of Shafarevich and s...

Let V be a valuation domain of rank one with quotient field K. We study the set extensions to rational functions K(X) induced by pseudo-convergent sequences K from topological point view, endowing this either Zariski or constructible topology. In particular, we consider two subspaces prescribed breadth pseudo-limit. give some necessary conditions for space metrizable (under topology) in terms v...

We use functoriality of tropicalization and the geometry of projections of subvarieties of tori to show that the fibers of the tropicalization map are dense in the Zariski topology. For subvarieties of tori over fields of generalized power series, points in each tropical fiber are obtained “constructively” using Kedlaya’s transfinite version of Newton’s method.
