Abstract

I will introduce the differential field of transseries, and outline the favorable algebraic and model theoretic results obtained about it in recent years, some just in the last month. There are several attractive open problems that can probably be approached by existing techniques, and also many that will probably require a new idea. I expect to discuss both kinds. (Joint work with Matthias Aschenbrenner and Joris van der Hoeven)
