NTP2 topological structures

Abstract: A subset of a topological space is constructible if it is a finite Boolean combination of closed sets. We prove that every NTP$_2$ expansion of $(\mathbb{R},<,+)$ by constructible sets defines only constructible sets, and that definable functions are generically piecewise continuous. The result also holds for all NTP$_2$ expansions of $(\mathbb{Q}_p,+,\cdot)$, and all NTP$_2$ definably complete expansions of ordered groups. In the latter case, the structure is generically locally o-minimal, has definable choice, and carries a well-behaved notion of naive topological dimension. For NIP uniform topological structures, constructibility of definable sets is preserved in the Shelah expansion. We classify strong expansions of $(\mathbb{R},<,+)$ by constructible sets, and obtain results on NTP$_2$ d-minimal structures.
