We present an example of an o-minimal structure which does not admit C ∞ cellular decomposition. To this end, we construct a function H whose germ at the origin admits a C k representative for each integer k, but no C ∞ representative. A number theoretic condition on the coefficients of the Taylor series of H then insures the quasianalyticity of some differential algebras 𝒜 n (H) induced by H. The o-minimality of the structure generated by H is deduced from this quasianalyticity property.

Nous présentons un exemple de structure o-minimale n’admettant pas la propriété de décomposition cellulaire C ∞ . Pour ce faire, nous construisons une fonction H dont le germe en 0 admet un représentant C k pour tout entier k, mais n’admet aucun représentant C ∞ . Une condition de transcendance sur les coefficients de la série de Taylor de H assure alors la quasi-analyticité de certaines algèbres différentielles 𝒜 n (H) engendrées par H. La o-minimalité de la structure engendrée par H est enfin déduite de cette quasi-analyticité.
