Model Theory of Fields: Lecture Notes in Logic 5, Second Edition / Edition 2

by David Marker, Margit Messmer, Anand Pillay

Overview

The model theory of fields is a fascinating subject stretching from Tarski's work on the decidability of the theories of the real and complex fields to Hrushovksi's recent proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for function fields. This volume provides an insightful introduction to this active area, concentrating on connections to stability theory.
