Abstract

We consider definably complete Baire expansions of ordered fields: every definable subset of the domain of the structure has a supremum and the domain cannot be written as the union of a definable increasing family of nowhere dense sets. Every expansion of the real field is definably complete and Baire, and so is every o-minimal expansion of a field. Moreover, unlike the o-minimal case, the structures considered form an axiomatizable class. In this context we prove a version of the Kuratowski–Ulam Theorem, some restricted version of Sard's Lemma and a version of Khovanskii's Finiteness Theorem. We apply these results to prove the o-minimality of every definably complete Baire expansion of an ordered field with any family of definable Pfaffian functions.
