Da Tarski a Hrushovski: Nascita e splendori della Teoria dei Modelli
Dalle teorie -categoriche a quelle -categoriche : un passo intermedio
De beaux groupes
Dans une belle paire de modèles d’une théorie stable ayant élimination des imaginaires sans la propriété de recouvrement fini, tout groupe définissable se projette, à isogénie près, sur les points -rationnels d’un groupe définissable dans le réduit à paramètres dans . Le noyau de cette projection est un groupe définissable dans le réduit.Un groupe interprétable dans une paire de corps algébriquement clos où est une extension propre de est, à isogénie près, l’extension des points -rationnels...

Decomposition into special cubes and its applications to quasi-subanalytic geometry
The main purpose of this paper is to present a natural method of decomposition into special cubes and to demonstrate how it makes it possible to efficiently achieve many well-known fundamental results from quasianalytic geometry as, for instance, Gabrielov's complement theorem, o-minimality or quasianalytic cell decomposition.
Decompositions of saturated models of stable theories
We characterize the stable theories T for which the saturated models of T admit decompositions. In particular, we show that countable, shallow, stable theories with NDOP have this property.
Definability in structures of finite valency
Definability in the extended arithmetic of ordinal numbers [Book]
Definability in the lattice of equational theories of semigroups.
Definable functions in the -categorical weakly circularly minimal structures.
Definable orthogonality classes in accessible categories are small
We lower substantially the strength of the assumptions needed for the validity of certain results in category theory and homotopy theory which were known to follow from Vopěnka’s principle. We prove that the necessary large-cardinal hypotheses depend on the complexity of the formulas defining the given classes, in the sense of the Lévy hierarchy. For example, the statement that, for a class of morphisms in a locally presentable category of structures, the orthogonal class of objects is a small-orthogonality...

Definable sets over finite fields.
Definable Ultrapowers and the Omitting Types Theorem
Definably complete Baire structures
We consider definably complete Baire expansions of ordered fields: every definable subset of the domain of the structure has a supremum and the domain cannot be written as the union of a definable increasing family of nowhere dense sets. Every expansion of the real field is definably complete and Baire, and so is every o-minimal expansion of a field. Moreover, unlike the o-minimal case, the structures considered form an axiomatizable class. In this context we prove a version of the Kuratowski-Ulam...
Definition of First Order Language with Arbitrary Alphabet. Syntax of Terms, Atomic Formulas and their Subterms
Second of a series of articles laying down the bases for classical first order model theory. A language is defined basically as a tuple made of an integer-valued function (adicity), a symbol of equality and a symbol for the NOR logical connective. The only requests for this tuple to be a language is that the value of the adicity in = is -2 and that its preimage (i.e. the variables set) in 0 is infinite. Existential quantification will be rendered (see [11]) by mere prefixing a formula with a letter....
Dense pairs of o-minimal structures
The structure of definable sets and maps in dense elementary pairs of o-minimal expansions of ordered abelian groups is described. It turns out that a certain notion of "small definable set" plays a special role in this description.
