“Towards a model theory of almost complex manifolds”
I will outline progress towards generalizing the model theory of compact complex manifolds to the setting of almost complex manifolds. In particular, I will present some almost complex analogues of classical complex analytic-geometric facts, in an o-minimal definable setting. I may sketch a proof or two, using pseudoholomorphic curve theory as the main tool. Time permitting, I will also indicate how this might fit into a larger goal of showing that compact almost complex manifolds form ”Zariski structures”, in the sense of Hrushovski and Zilber. The talk is intended for all logicians, so the relevant geometry and o-minimality theory will be explained.
