Algebraic types in Zilber's exponential field

Vahagn Aslanyan and Jonathan Kirby

Vol. 4 (2025), No. 1, 37–54
Abstract

We characterise the model-theoretic algebraic closure in Zilber’s exponential field. A key step involves showing that certain algebraic varieties have finite intersections with certain finite-rank subgroups of the graph of exponentiation. Mordell–Lang for algebraic tori (a theorem of Laurent) plays a central role in our proof.
