Strong splitting in stable homogeneous models

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study elementary submodels of a stable homogeneous structure. We improve the independence relation defined in [T. Hyttinen, On nonstructure of elementary submodels of a stable homogeneous structure, Fundamenta Mathematicae, 156(1998): 167-182]. We apply this to prove a structure theorem. We also show that dop and sdop are essentially equivalent, where the negation of dop is the property we use in our structure theorem and sdop implies nonstructure.


The authors develop the independence notion derived from strong splitting by \textit{T. Hyttinen} [``On nonstructure of elementary submodels of a stable homogeneous structure, Fundam.\ Math.\ 156, 167-182 (1998; Zbl 0918.03021)], proving the basic properties of forking independence from the first-order context in the set-up of a stable homogeneous structure (sometimes over \(a\)-models rather than arbitrary sets). Under the NDOP hypothesis they prove a structure theorem: \(s\)-saturated models are \(s\)-primary over maximal \(s\)-free trees.
