Title: Generic differential equations are strongly minimal
Abstract: In this talk, I will outline a new technique for showing that nonlinear algebraic differential equations are strongly minimal. This is used to prove the strong minimality of generic differential equations with sufficiently large degree, answering a question of Poizat (1980). Time permitting, I will also discuss ongoing work in applying this method to differential equations of interest whose coefficients are not generic. This is joint work with James Freitag.
