"Introduction"

This term some of us will be working through sections 2 and 3 (and  maybe 4?) of a recent paper of Bakker-Brunebarbe-Tsimerman in which a definable version of Serre's GAGA is developed (and then applied to solve an old problem of Griffiths). It is a kind of compromise between algebraic geometry and local complex analytic geometry facilitated by model theory (it seems to involve very little of the last).

"Pseudo-finite sets and dimension, Part 6"

In this first session of the reading group for 2019, I will summarize some results of the previous lectures on probability logic and explain some applications to the study of ultraproducts of k-approximate subgroups.
