From model theory to differential-algebraic geometry (Special lecture)

This is the second lecture from the Mini-Course Model theory of algebraic vector fields by Rahim Moosa. The first lecture is given as a Colloquium talk, and the third lecture is described here.

Abstract

In this talk I will discuss how one translates between notions coming from model theory and from differential-algebraic geometry. This should serve as an explanation for how model theory is involved in the results about algebraic vector fields that were discussed in Lecture 1 (colloquium).
