Let $\\mathcal {\\widetilde M}= \\langle \\mathcal M, P\\rangle$ be an expansion of an o-minimal $\\cal L$-structure $\\cal M$ by a dense set $P$. We impose three tameness conditions on $\\mathcal {\\widetilde M}$ and prove structure theorems for definable sets and functions in the realm of the cone decomposition theorems that are known for semi-bounded o-minimal structures. The proofs involve induction on the notion of `large dimension' for definable sets, an invariant which we herewith introduce and analyze. As a corollary, we obtain that (i) the large dimension of a definable set coincides with the combinatorial $\\operatorname{scl}$-dimension coming from a pregeometry given in Berenstein-Ealy-G\\\"unaydin, and (ii) the large dimension is invariant under definable bijections. We then illustrate how our results open the way to study groups definable in $\\cal {\\widetilde M}$, by proving that around $\\operatorname{scl}$-generic elements of a definable group, the group operation is given by an $\\mathcal L$-definable map.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-12T10:19:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C64" ], "keywords": [ "tame expansions", "structure theorems", "dense set", "large dimension", "definable set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151003210E" } } }
