Abstract

We show that the field of real numbers with multisummable real power series is model complete, o-minimal and polynomially bounded. Further expansion by the exponential function yields again a model complete and o-minimal structure which is exponentially bounded, and in which the Gamma function on the positive real line is definable. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 03C10, 32B05, 32B20; secondary, 26E05.
