Angus Matthews (University of Leeds) – The model theory of the complex exponential

This talk will survey the longstanding programme to analyse the complex exponential by means of model theory. This ambition has coalesced around Zilber's quasi-minimality conjecture, which we will motivate and define. We will then cover subsequent progress and analogous results by Zilber and Gallinaro-Kirby. Expect a little logic, algebra and complex analysis.
