The Feferman-Vaught theorem revisited
By a ternary structure we mean an ordered pair , where is a finite nonempty set and is a ternary relation on . By the underlying graph of a ternary structure we mean the (undirected) graph with the properties that is its vertex set and distinct vertices and of are adjacent if and only if A ternary structure is said to be the B-structure of a connected graph if is the vertex set of and the following statement holds for all : if and only if belongs to an induced ...
An ω-tree-automatic structure is a relational structure whose domain and relations are accepted by Muller or Rabin tree automata. We investigate in this paper the isomorphism problem for ω-tree-automatic structures. We prove first that the isomorphism relation for ω-tree-automatic boolean algebras (respectively, partial orders, rings, commutative rings, non commutative rings, non commutative groups, nilpotent groups of class n ≥ 2) is not determined by the axiomatic system ZFC. Then we prove that...
