Model theory for infinite quantifier languages
We give a model-theoretic interpretation of a result by Campana and Fujiki on the algebraicity of certain spaces of cycles on compact complex spaces. The model-theoretic interpretation is in the language of canonical bases, and says that if b,c are tuples in an elementary extension 𝓐* of the structure 𝓐 of compact complex manifolds, and b is the canonical base of tp(c/b), then tp(b/c) is internal to the sort (ℙ¹)*. The Zilber dichotomy in 𝓐* follows immediately (a type of U-rank 1 is locally...
Varieties whose algebras have no idempotent element were characterized by B. Csákány by the property that no proper subalgebra of an algebra of such a variety is a congruence class. We simplify this result for permutable varieties and we give a local version of the theorem for varieties with nullary operations.
Continuing the earlier research [Fund. Math. 129 (1988) and 149 (1996)] we give some information about extending automorphisms of models of PA to cofinal extensions.
