Structural logic and abstract elementary classes with intersections

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We give a syntactic characterization of abstract elementary classes (AECs) closed under intersections using a new logic with a quantifier for isomorphism types that we call structural logic: we prove that AECs with intersections correspond to classes of models of a universal theory in structural logic. This generalizes Tarski's syntactic characterization of universal classes. As a corollary, we obtain that any AEC with countable L"owenheim-Skolem number is axiomatizable in mathbbLinfty,omega(Q), where Q is the quantifier "there exists uncountably many".
