Relatively recursive expansions
In this paper, we consider the following basic question. Let A be an L-structure and let ψ be an infinitary sentence in the language L∪R, where R is a new relation symbol. When is it the case that for every B ≅ A, there is a relation R such that (B,R) ⊨ ψ and ? We succeed in giving necessary and sufficient conditions in the case where ψ is a “recursive” infinitary sentence. (A recursive infinitary formula is an infinitary formula with recursive disjunctions and conjunctions.) We consider also...
