Philipp Hieronymi (Department of Mathematics, University of Illinois)
Tame geometry
Abstract: This talk is an introduction into the study of well-behaved expansions of semialgebraic geometry. I will focus on the classification of such geometries and my contribution to it. In particular, I will discuss new tameness phenomena outside the setting of local finiteness and I will described how a new result that certain classical structures are not tame at all, sheds new light on the question what tameness actually means.
