Title:  Expansions of (N,<,+) by Automatic Sets

Speaker:  Alexi Block-Gorman (The Ohio State University)

Abstract:  There are compelling and long-established connections between automata theory and model theory, particularly regarding expansions of Presburger arithmetic by sets whose base-k representations are recognized by an automaton. We call such sets "k-regular". In this talk, we will characterize the expansions of (N,<,+) by a unary k-regular set. We can characterize such expansions both in terms of model-theoretic properties, and via notions of "density" coming from arithmetic geometry. This is joint work with Jason Bell and Chris Schulz.
