Chernikov's VC-density conjecture for NIP structures
Chernikov's VC-density conjecture for NIP structures
Let be an NIP structure, and let be a definable set system with . Define its VC-density by
Chernikov's VC-density conjecture. The following assertions hold:
- is rational.
- If is o-minimal, there is a finite set such that .
- If is o-minimal and weakly locally modular, then .
These statements formalize the proposed distinction between field-like and module-like structures through shatter-function growth. The source attributes this conjecture to Chernikov; its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
