Quantifier elimination for o-minimal structures expanded by a valuational cut

Let $R$ be an o-minimal expansion of a group in a language in which $\textrm{Th}(R)$ eliminates quantifiers, and let $C$ be a predicate for a valuational cut in $R$. We identify a condition that implies quantifier elimination for $\textrm{Th}(R,C)$ in the language of $R$ expanded by $C$ and a small...

Summary:Let $R$ be an o-minimal expansion of a group in a language in which $\textrm{Th}(R)$ eliminates quantifiers, and let $C$ be a predicate for a valuational cut in $R$. We identify a condition that implies quantifier elimination for $\textrm{Th}(R,C)$ in the language of $R$ expanded by $C$ and a small number of constants, and which, in turn, is implied by $\textrm{Th}(R,C)$ having quantifier elimination and being universally axiomatizable. The condition applies for example in the case when $C$ is a convex subring of an o-minimal field $R$ and its residue field is o-minimal.
