Abstract

We review some basic constructions in naive algebraic geometry that are useful when applying model theory (e.g., the characteristic zero case of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for function fields). The talk is self-contained both with respect to algebra and logic.

We will have Darjeeling tea (and maybe another variety) before the talk.
