PhD student position in model theory, Norwich (UK)

Deadline: Friday 15 January 2021

The project "Model theory and quasiminimality for analytic functions (KIRBYJ_U21SCIEPO)" at the University of East Anglia,School of Mathematics is based on the recent exciting developments in the application of model theory, a branch of mathematical logic, to analytic functions such as exponentiation. In this project, you will take some functions arising in complex or p-adic analysis and attempt to show that their logical theory is quasiminimal. When this can be proved, systems of equations involving this function will have solutions which can be understood geometrically, in a similar way to algebraic geometry, which applies to polynomial functions.

This 3.5 year PhD studentship is funded by an EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. The start date is 1st October 2021.  Methods likely to be useful arise from model theory, topology, algebraic geometry, and real, complex and p-adic analysis; candidates should have knowledge of at least one or two of these areas.
