We answer two open questions about the model theory of valued differential fields introduced by Scanlon. We show that they eliminate imaginaries in the geometric language introduced by Haskell, Hrushovski and Macpherson and that they have the invariant extension property. These two result follow from an abstract criterion for the density of definable types in enrichments of algebraically closed valued fields. Finally, we show that this theory is metastable.

The text is based on notes from a class entitled {em Model Theory of Berkovich Spaces}, given at the Hebrew University in the fall term of 2009, and retains the flavor of class notes. It includes an exposition of material from cite{hhmcrelle}, cite{hhm} and cite{HL}, regarding definable types in the model completion of the theory of valued fields, and the classification of imaginary sorts. The latter is given a new proof, based on definable types rather than invariant types, and on the notion of {em generic reparametrization}. I also try to bring out the relation to the geometry of cite{HL} - stably dominated definable types as the model theoretic incarnation of a Berkovich point.
The following strong form of density of definable types is introduced for theories T admitting a fibered dimension function d: given a model M of T and a definable subset X of M^n, there is a definable type p in X, definable over a code for X and of the same d-dimension as X. Both o-minimal theories and the theory of closed ordered differential fields (CODF) are shown to have this property. As an application, we derive a new proof of elimination of imaginaries for CODF.
Answering a question of P. Bankston, we show that the pseudoarc is a co-existentially closed continuum. We also show that $C(X)$, for $X$ a nondegenerate continuum, can never have quantifier elimination, answering a question of the the first and third named authors and Farah and Kirchberg.
In this paper we study elimination of imaginaries in some classes of henselian valued fields of equicharacteristic zero and residue field algebraically closed. The results are sensitive to the complexity of the value group. We focus first in the case where the ordered abelian group has finite spines, and then prove a better result for the dp-minimal case. An ordered abelian with finite spines weakly eliminates imaginaries once we add sorts for the quotient groups $Gamma/ Delta$ for each definable convex subgroup $Delta$, and sorts for the quotient groups $Gamma/ Delta+ lGamma$ where $Delta$ is a definable convex subgroup and $l in mathbb{N}_{geq 2}$. We refer to these sorts as the quotient sorts. We prove the following two theorems: Theorem: Let $K$ be a valued field of equicharacteristic zero, residue field algebraically closed and value group with finite spines. Then $K$ admits weak elimination of imaginaries once we add codes for all the definable $mathcal{O}$-submodules of $K^{n}$ for each $n in mathbb{N}$, and the quotient sorts for the value group. Theorem: Let $K$ be a henselian valued field of equicharacteristic zero, residue field algebraically closed and dp-minimal value group. Then $K$ eliminates imaginaries once we add codes for all the definable $mathcal{O}$-submodules of $K^{n}$ for each $n in mathbb{N}$, the quotient sorts for the value group and constants to distinguish representatives of the cosets of $Delta+lGamma$ in $Gamma$, where $Delta$ is a convex definable subgroup and $l in mathbb{N}_{geq 2}$.
We introduce a class of theories called metastable, including the theory of algebraically closed valued fields (ACVF) as a motivating example. The key local notion is that of definable types dominated by their stable part. A theory is metastable (over a sort $Gamma$) if every type over a sufficiently rich base structure can be viewed as part of a $Gamma$-parametrized family of stably dominated types. We initiate a study of definable groups in metastable theories of finite rank. Groups with a stably dominated generic type are shown to have a canonical stable quotient. Abelian groups are shown to be decomposable into a part coming from $Gamma$, and a definable direct limit system of groups with stably dominated generic. In the case of ACVF, among definable subgroups of affine algebraic groups, we characterize the groups with stably dominated generics in terms of group schemes over the valuation ring. Finally, we classify all fields definable in ACVF.
