1793. Erik Walsberg
A P-adic structure which does not interpret an infinite field but whose Shelah completion does
E-mail:

Submission date: 30 May 2020

Abstract:

We give a p-adic example of a structure whose Shelah completion interprets ℚ_p but which does not (provided an extremely plausible conjecture holds) interpret an infinite field. In the final section we discuss the significance of such examples for a possible future geometric theory of NIP structures.
