A topological interpretation of second-order intuitionistic arithmetic
We give a self-contained introduction to universal homogeneous models (also known as rich models) in a general context where the notion of morphism is taken as primitive. We produce an example of an amalgamation class where each connected component has a saturated rich model but the theory of the rich models is not model-complete.
In [7] and [8], two sets of regular identities without finite proper models were introduced. In this paper we show that deleting one identity from any of these sets, we obtain a set of regular identities whose models include all affine spaces over GF(p) for prime numbers p ≥ 5. Moreover, we prove that this set characterizes affine spaces over GF(5) in the sense that each proper model of these regular identities has at least 13 ternary term functions and the number 13 is attained if and only if the...
An existence theorem for 1-atomic standard models of (more weak than usual “atomic models”) and applications of to are the results of this note.
Let K,R be an algebraically closed field (of characteristic zero) and a real closed field respectively with K=R(√(-1)). We show that every K-analytic set definable in an o-minimal expansion of R can be locally approximated by a sequence of K-Nash sets.
