It is shown that in an elementary extension of a compact complex manifold M, the K-analytic sets (where K is the algebraic closure of the underlying real closed field) agree with the ccm-analytic sets if and only if M is essentially saturated. In particular, this is the case for compact Kähler manifolds.
We show that the first order structure whose underlying universe is ℂ and whose basic relations are all algebraic subsets of ℂ² does not have quantifier elimination. Since an algebraic subset of ℂ² is either of dimension ≤ 1 or has a complement of dimension ≤ 1, one can restate the former result as a failure of quantifier elimination for planar complex algebraic curves. We then prove that removing the planarity hypothesis suffices to recover quantifier elimination: the structure with the universe...
