We specialise this conjecture to ordered fields in the language of ordered rings, which leads towards a systematic study of the class of strongly NIP almost real closed fields. As a result, we obtain a complete characterisation of this class.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-27T11:11:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C45", "03C64", "03C60", "12J10", "12L12" ], "keywords": [ "real closed fields", "infinite strongly nip field", "non-trivial definable henselian valuation", "conjecture", "complete characterisation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
