2 Outline 1 Introduction
3 Introduction An asymptotic class is a class of nite structures such that the sizes of the denable sets are uniformly controlled (as a proportion of the size of the ambient structure). I'll be talking about one of several variations of the notion of a 1-dimensional asymptotic class - that of an embedded asymptotic class. This is a work in progress, joint with Dugald Macpherson.
4 The motivating theorem Theorem (Chatzidakis, van den Dries, Macintyre) Let ϕ(x 1,...,x n ; y 1,...,y m ) be a formula in the language of rings. (i) There is a positive constant C and a nite set D of pairs (d,µ) with d {0, 1,...,n} and µ >0 such that for each nite eld q, where q is a prime power, and each a m, if the set q ϕ( n, a) is nonempty, then for some (d,µ) D q ϕ n, q a d µq < Cq d 1 2. (ii) For every (d,µ) D, there is a formula ψ d,µ (y 1,...,y m ) in the language of rings such that for each q, ψ d,µ m consists of q those a m for which the corresponding inequality holds. q
5 1-dimensional asymptotic classes Denition (MacPherson and Steinhorn) Let be a rst-order language, and a collection of nite -structures. is a 1-dimensional asymptotic class if for every -formula ϕ(x, y) := ϕ(x 1,...,x n ; y 1,...,y m ): (i) There is a positive constant C and a nite set D of pairs (d,µ) with d {0,...,n} and µ >0, such that for every M and a M m, if ϕ(m n, a) is non-empty, then for some (d,µ) D we have ϕ(m n, a) µ M d C M d 1 2. (ii) For every (d,µ) D, there is an -formula ϕ d,µ (y) such that for all M, ϕ d,µ (M m ) consists of those a M m for which the corresponding inequality holds.
6 Some notation Let be a rst order language, and a collection of nite -structures. (, y) := (M, a) M, a y M. A partition of (, y) is -denable if for each S there exists an -formula ϕ S (y) without parameters such that for each M. ϕ S (M) = b M y M, b S
7 Multidimensional asymptotic classes Denition (Ascombe, MacPherson, Steinhorn, Wolf) Let be a class of nite -structures, and R any set of functions 0. is an R-multidimensional asymptotic class (R-MAC) if for every formula ϕ(x, y) there is a nite -denable partition of (, y) and an indexed set H := {h S R S } such that ϕ M x ; b hs (M) = o(h S (M)) for M, b S as M. The functions hs are called the measuring functions of ϕ(x; y). When R is understood, we just say that is a MAC.
8 Some more notation Let be a rst-order language with signature σ, P a predicate not in σ, and + the language with signature σ {P}. If M is an -structure and A is a (nite) substructure of M, we may view (M, A) as an + -structure (i.e. with P M = A). If ϕ(x 1,...,x n, y 1,...,y m ) is an + formula and a M m, we denote by ϕ M (A n, a) the set b A n : (M, A) ϕ b, a = b : (M, A) P b ϕ b, a.
9 Denable partitions, renewed If M is an -structure and 0 is a class of nite substructures A of M, let := {(M, A) : A 0 } be the corresponding class of + -structures. As above, for any tuple y we dene (, y) := {(M, A, a) : (M, A), a M y }. We say that a partition of (, y) is -denable if for each S there is an + -formula ϕ S (y) (with no parameters) such that ϕ S (M y ) = {b M y : (M, A, b) S}, for each (M, A).
10 Embedded MACs Denition Let M be an -structure, and 0 a collection of nite substructures A of M. View each (M, A) as an + -structure, and let = {(M, A) : A 0 }. Let R be any set of functions 0. is an embedded R-MAC if for every + -formula ϕ(x; y) there is a nite -denable partition of (, y) and an indexed set H := {h S R : S } such that ϕ M A x ; b hs (A) = o(h S (A)) for M, A, b S as A.
11 Remark Let and 0 be as in the previous denition. If is an embedded R-MAC, then 0 is at least a weak R-MAC, meaning that the partition exists but may not be -denable. More assumptions are needed to guarantee that 0 is, in fact, an R-MAC.
12 Full embeddedness Let N be a -denable -substructure of M, an + -substructure ( + ). N is stably embedded in M if for every + -formula ϕ(x, y) there are nitely many + -formulae ψ 1 (x, z),...,ψ k (x, z) such that for any a M y there are i and b N z for which M x N(ϕ(x, a) ψ i (x, b)). N is canonically embedded in M if for every + -formula ϕ(x) there is an -formula ψ(x) such that for all a N x, M ϕ(a) N ψ(a). N is fully embedded in M if it is both stably and canonically embedded in M.
13 Transfer lemma Lemma Let, P, and + be as in the denition of an embedded R-MAC. Given an R-MAC 0 consisting of nite substructures of some -structure M, consider the class of + -structures := {(M, A) : A 0 }. If in every ultraproduct (M, P(M )) of, P(M ) is fully embedded in M, then is an embedded R-MAC.
14 Sketch of proof Fix ϕ(x, y) +. Find nitely many + -formulae ψ 1 (x, z),...,ψ k (x, z) such that for each P(M) 0, (M, P(M)) y z P i x P(ϕ(x, y) ψ i (x, z)). For each i, nd nitely many -formulae ρ i,j (x, z) such that for each P(M) 0, (M, P(M)) j x, z P(ψ i (x, z) ρ P (x, z)). i,j
15 Sketch of proof, continued Using coding, obtain an -formula η(x; z, w) such that for all P(M) 0 and a M y there are bc P(M) z + w such that ϕ M (P(M), a) = η(p(m), b, c). The above allows us to transfer the partition for 0 to one for. Writing down the dening formulae given those for the original partition is not dicult.
16 An example The class = {( p, p n) : n } is an embedded 1-dimensional asymptotic class. The class 0 = { p n : n } is a 1-dimensional embedded asymptotic class. Let = rings, + = {P}, and = + {σ} (where σ is a unary function). Consider the following expansion of : = p, p n, x x pn : n. By work of Hrushovski, any ultraproduct (M, P(M ),σ) of is a model of ACFA p. By work of Chatzidakis and Hrushovski, P(M ) is fully embedded in M. This is sucient to apply the lemma.
