Halupczok's tree-level conjecture for definable p-adic sets

Let XQpnX \subset \mathbb{Q}_p^n be a definable set in the language of fields. For each λ0\lambda \geq 0, let XλX_\lambda be the image of XZpnX \cap \mathbb{Z}_p^n in (Z/pλZ)n(\mathbb{Z}/p^\lambda\mathbb{Z})^n, and let

T(X):=λ0Xλ\operatorname{T}(X):=\bigcup_{\lambda\geq 0}X_\lambda

with its natural tree structure. The dimension of XX is the algebraic dimension of its Zariski closure in the algebraic closure Q~pn\widetilde{\mathbb{Q}}_p^n. Halupczok's tree-level conjecture. The tree T(X)\operatorname{T}(X) is a tree of level dimX\dim X. This conjecturally gives a purely combinatorial description of trees arising from definable sets and would refine Denef's rationality result for the associated Poincaré series. The paper proves the claim in several special cases, but its general status is not resolved.
