Expansions of the Real Field by Canonical Products

Abstract

Abstract We consider expansions of o-minimal structures on the real field by collections of restrictions to the positive real line of the canonical Weierstrass products associated with sequences such as $(-n^{s})_{n>0}$ (for $s>0$ ) and $(-s^{n})_{n>0}$ (for $s>1$ ), and also expansions by associated functions such as logarithmic derivatives. There are only three possible outcomes known so far: (i) the expansion is o-minimal (that is, definable sets have only finitely many connected components); (ii) every Borel subset of each $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ is definable; (iii) the expansion is interdefinable with a structure of the form $(\mathfrak{R}^{\prime },\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}^{\mathbb{Z}})$ where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}>1$ , $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}^{\mathbb{Z}}$ is the set of all integer powers of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ , and $\mathfrak{R}^{\prime }$ is o-minimal and defines no irrational power functions.
