Model Theory, Algebra, and Geometry

Model Theory, Algebra, and Geometry

by Deirdre Haskell, Anand Pillay, and Charles Steinhorn

Model theory is a branch of mathematical logic that has found applications in several areas of algebra and geometry. It provides a unifying framework for the understanding of old results and more recently has led to significant new results, such as a proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for function fields in positive characteristic. Perhaps surprisingly, it is sometimes the most abstract aspects of model theory that are relevant to these applications.
