DESCRIPTION:Title: Model theory and Covering maps\n\nAbstract: In this ta
 lk\, we will look at the problem of describing the classification theore
 tic structure of the sets defined (in DCF) by the differential equations
  associated with covering maps as studied by Scanlon. Roughly speaking\,
  for our context\, a covering map is a function on a space that is invar
 iant under the action of some group and as such\, a function on the quot
 ient space. The most studied examples of such maps are those associated 
 to Shimura varieties (eg. the modular j-function) but we will not restri
 ct to that context. After introducing the various objects\, I will surve
 y some of the new results in that area and describe some of the key tool
 s used in my own work (joint with Blázquez-Sanz\, Casale and Frietag) to
  attack this problem. Time-permitting\, I will also explain the connecti
 ons of these results to a general Ax-Schanuel type theorems for the cove
 ring maps.
