Exponential Pregeometries and the Logical Complexity of Schanuel's Conjecture
Abstract: In it's natural formulation Schanuel's Conjecture is a $\Pi^1_1$-sentence. We show there is an equivalent $\Pi^0_3$-sentence.
The key to the proof is work on J. Kirby on natural pregeometries in exponential fields. Most of the talk will be devoted to
explaining Kirby's work.
