The no-interpretable-fields conjecture for torsion-free hyperbolic groups

About 14 years old · traced to

Let GG be a torsion-free hyperbolic group. An interpretable field is a field interpretable in a model of Th(G)Th(G). No-interpretable-fields conjecture. No infinite field is interpretable in any model of Th(G)Th(G). This conjecture concerns the structure of interpretable sets in models of theories of torsion-free hyperbolic groups; the paper proves related results, including that the generic type of a non-cyclic torsion-free hyperbolic group is foreign to any interpretable abelian group, hence also to any interpretable field.
