"On elementary extensions of Zariski structures"

The goal of this talk is to prove that any elementary extension of a Zariski structure can be viewed as a Zariski structure itself. Combining this with the results about universal specialisations from the previous seminar, we obtain that dimension is a local property. On the way to these results, we introduce additional useful notions, including the locus of a point over a definable set
and the combinatorial dimension of a tuple over a set.
