Abstract

top
The open core of a structure ℜ := (ℝ,<,...) is defined to be the reduct (in the sense of definability) of ℜ generated by all of its definable open sets. If the open core of ℜ is o-minimal, then the topological closure of any definable set has finitely many connected components. We show that if every definable subset of ℝ is finite or uncountable, or if ℜ defines addition and multiplication and every definable open subset of ℝ has finitely many connected components, then the open core of ℜ is o-minimal.
