Classification conjecture for dp-minimal expansions of the integers

Let Z\mathcal{Z} be a dp-minimal proper expansion of (Z,+,0,1)(\mathbb{Z},+,0,1). A classification conjecture for dp-minimal expansions of the integers. Exactly one of the following holds:

  1. Z\mathcal{Z} is interdefinable with (Z,+,0,1,<)(\mathbb{Z},+,0,1,<).
  2. There is αR\Q\alpha\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\mathbb{Q} such that the cyclic order CαC_{\alpha} induced by nnα+Zn\mapsto n\alpha+\mathbb{Z} is definable in Z\mathcal{Z}.
  3. There is a generalized valuation vv such that the associated relation v\preceq_v is definable in Z\mathcal{Z}.

This conjecture aims to classify all dp-minimal proper expansions of the additive structure of the integers by separating the ordered, irrational cyclic-order, and generalized-valuation cases. The surrounding discussion notes that many proper dp-minimal expansions are known, while a complete classification remains open.
