On Minimal Ordered Structures
We assume that M is a stable homogeneous model of large cardinality. We prove a nonstructure theorem for (slightly saturated) elementary submodels of M, assuming M has dop. We do not assume that th(M) is stable.
We prove that the semialgebraic, algebraic, and algebraic nonsingular points of a definable set in o-minimal structure with analytic cell decomposition are definable. Moreover, the operation of taking semialgebraic points is idempotent and the degree of complexity of semialgebraic points is bounded.
We study definable sets D of SU-rank 1 in , where ℳ is a countable homogeneous and simple structure in a language with finite relational vocabulary. Each such D can be seen as a ’canonically embedded structure’, which inherits all relations on D which are definable in , and has no other definable relations. Our results imply that if no relation symbol of the language of ℳ has arity higher than 2, then there is a close relationship between triviality of dependence and being a reduct of a binary...
Given a complete, superstable theory, we distinguish a class P of regular types, typically closed under automorphisms of ℭ and non-orthogonality. We define the notion of P-NDOP, which is a weakening of NDOP. For superstable theories with P-NDOP, we prove the existence of P-decompositions and derive an analog of the first author's result in Israel J. Math. 140 (2004). In this context, we also find a sufficient condition on P-decompositions that implies non-isomorphic models. For this, we investigate...
Assume p* is a meager type in a superstable theory T. We investigate definability properties of p*-closure. We prove that if T has countable models then the multiplicity rank ℳ of every type p is finite. We improve Saffe’s conjecture.
An example of a non-zero non-atomic translation-invariant Borel measure on the Banach space is constructed in Solovay’s model. It is established that, for 1 ≤ p < ∞, the condition "-almost every element of has a property P" implies that “almost every” element of (in the sense of [4]) has the property P. It is also shown that the converse is not valid.
In a countable superstable NDOP theory, the existence of a rigid -saturated model implies the existence of rigid -saturated models of power λ for every .
