Topological closure and Kolchin dimension for generic derivations

Let C\mathfrak C carry a topology τ\tau satisfying suitable conditions, and let τδˉ\tau_{\bar \delta} be the topology induced by x↦Jet⁡(x)x\mapsto\operatorname{Jet}(x) into CΓ\mathfrak C^\Gamma with its product topology. For X⊆CnX\subseteq\mathfrak C^n, write X‾τδˉ\overline X^{\tau_{\bar \delta}} for its τδˉ\tau_{\bar \delta}-closure. Topological-closure conjecture. For every nonempty LδˉL^{\bar \delta}-definable XX, the set X‾τδˉ\overline X^{\tau_{\bar \delta}} is LδˉL^{\bar \delta}-definable and

μ(X‾τδˉ∖X)<μ(X).\mu\bigl(\overline X^{\tau_{\bar \delta}}\setminus X\bigr)<\mu(X).

This proposes a definable topological closure whose boundary has strictly smaller leading Kolchin invariant; the topology conditions are deliberately left as “suitable” in the source, and the conjecture remains open.
