Inspired by this, we formulate an analogous conjecture for ordered fields in the language $\\mathcal{L}_{\\mathrm{or}} = \\mathcal{L}_{\\mathrm{r}} \\cup \\{<\\}$. Moreover, we examine strongly NIP almost real closed fields as well as ordered Hahn fields and exhibit connections to ordered fields which are not dense in their real closure and dp-minimal ordered fields.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-24T13:02:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "strongly nip ordered fields", "infinite strongly nip field", "non-trivial definable henselian valuation", "dp-minimal ordered fields", "conjecture" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
