Abstract:
We consider expansions of o-minimal structures on the real field by certain canonical Weierstrass products and/or associated functions, such as their logarithmic derivatives. We show that there are only three possible outcomes for the resulting structures: they are either o-minimal, or d-minimal but not o-minimal, or they define the set of integers. Joint work with Chris Miller.
