Recall that a complete first-order theory with infinite models is strongly minimal if in any of its models, every parameter-definable subset of the model is finite or cofinite. Classical examples are theories of vector spaces and algebraically closed fields; also the degenerate example of the theory of infinite ‘pure’ sets where the only structure comes from equality. Algebraic closure in a str...

All rings and algebras considered in this paper are commutative with identity elements and, unless otherwise specified, are to be assumed to be non-trivial. All ringhomomorphisms are unital. Let k be a field. We denote the class of commutative k−algebras with finite transcendence degree over k by C. Also, we shall use t.d.(A) to denote the transcendence degree of a k−algebra A over k, A[n] to d...

We classify the algebraic combinatorial geometries of arbitrary field extensions of transcendence degree greater than 4 and describe their groups of automorphisms. Our results and proofs extend similar results and proofs by Evans and Hrushovski in the case of algebraically closed fields. The classification of projective planes in algebraic combinatorial geometries in arbitrary fields of charact...

Throughout the paper, an analytic field means a non-archimedean complete real-valued field, and our main objective is to extend basic theory of transcendental extensions these fields. One easily introduces topological analogue transcendence degree, but, surprisingly, it turns out that may behave very badly. For example, particular case theorem Matignon-Reversat, [8, Thèoréme 2] , asserts if cha...
