Distality

Distality was introduced by Pierre Simon in 2012 as a property of NIP theories which captures "pure instability". It encompasses weakly o-minimal structures, the field of $p$-adics, and Presburger Arithmetic. We present the definitions of distality and distal cell decomposition. We describe recent applications of distal cell decomposition, and discuss an open problem.
