Abstract

We describe here a theory of holomorphic functions and analytic manifolds, restricted to the category of definable objects in an o-minimal structure which expands a real closed field R. In this setting, the algebraic closure K of the field R, identified with R2, plays the role of the complex field. Although the ordered field R may be non-Archimedean, o-minimality allows to develop many of the basic results of complex analysis for definable K-holomorphic functions even in this non-standard setting. In addition, o-minimality implies strong theorems on removal of singularities for definable manifolds and definable analytic sets, even when the field R is ℝ. We survey some of these results and several examples. We also discuss the definability in o-minimal structures of several classical holomorphic maps, and some corollaries concerning definable families of abelian varieties.
