9 Ordered Exponential Fields

10 Ordered Exponential Fields Definition Let (K, +,, 0, 1, <) be an ordered field. A unary function exp which is an order-preserving isomorphism from (K, +, 0, <) to (K >0,, 1, <) is called an exponential on (K, +,, 0, 1, <). The L exp -structure (K, +,, 0, 1, <, exp) is called an ordered exponential field.

Theorem (Wilkie 1996) The real exponential field R exp is o-minimal. Example: The formula y x 2 > exp(y) + π parametrically defines the set {x R y x 2 > exp(y) + π} = (, π) ( π, ) over R exp.

56 T -convexity Theorem Let K exp be an o-minimal EXP-field and T = Th(K exp ). Then the following are equivalent: 1 O is T -convex.
