Finite Grothendieck ring
Grothendieck rings were introduced in model theory in the early 2000s. They appear especially in motivic integration, where they are used to express formulas for certain counting functions in a uniform manner. There also is a dictionary of the combinatorial properties of a structure and of the algebraic properties of its Grothendieck ring. It wasn't known until recently wether there exist finite Grothendieck ring. In this talk, we will show that for any integer $N$, we can construct a structure whose Grothendieck ring is $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$.
