The O-minimal Zilber Conjecture in Higher Dimensions

Abstract

We prove the higher dimensional case of the o-minimal variant of Zilber's Restricted Trichotomy Conjecture. More precisely, let $\mathcal R$ be an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field, let $M$ be an interpretable set in $\mathcal R$, and let $\mathcal M=(M,...)$ be a reduct of the induced structure on $M$. If $\mathcal M$ is strongly minimal and not locally modular, then $\dim_{\mathcal R}(M)=2$. As an application, we prove the Zilber trichotomy for all strongly minimal structures interpreted in the theory of compact complex manifolds.
