Locally constant functions in C-minimal structures

Original · EN

Let M be a C-minimal structure and T its canonical tree (which corresponds in an ultrametric space to the set of closed balls with radius different than ∞ ordered by inclusion). We present a description of definable locally constant functions f:M→ T in C-minimal structures having a canonical tree with infinitely many branches at each node and densely ordered branches. This provides both a description of definable subsets of T in one variable and analogues of known results in algebraically closed valued fields.
