Beschreibung

Macpherson and Steinhorn introduced `1-dimensional asymptotic classes' of finite structures, which are those classes that satisfy an asymptotic counting condition on definable sets, which is modelled on Chatzidakis, van-den-Dries, and Macintyre's work on finite fields. This notion gives insights into the model theory of such classes: for example their infinite ultraproducts are supersimple of finite rank. In this talk I will introduce `multidimensional asymptotic classes', which broadens the original notion to allow more exotic examples, such as finite-dimensional vectors spaces over finite fields, equipped with a bilinear form. I will also define the notion of `generalised measurable structures', which are infinite structures satisfying an analogous condition on definable sets. I will show that free homogeneous structures are generalised measurable; and that certain homogeneous structures are not elementarily equivalent to ultraproducts of classes satisfying an *exact* version of the asymptotic condition. This is joint work with Dugald Macpherson, Charles Steinhorn, and Daniel Wolf.
