Title: Tameness and Complexity in Physical Theories
Abstract: We give an introductory overview of recent applications of o-minimality to physics, focusing on quantum field theories and quantum gravity. In the first part of the lecture we explain how o-minimality makes a first appearance in physical theories when considering amplitudes in quantum field theory. In the second part, we concentrate on a class of theories where finiteness principles seem to be essential, namely the quantum field theories which are consistent with quantum gravity. We review some of these finiteness principles and interpret them through the lens of the o-minimal framework. Along the way, we highlight recent progress in this direction, as well as open questions to explore in the future.
