Arts & Humanities Logic Mathematics Philosophy Physical Sciences Science & Technology Science & Technology - Other Topics
We continue the analysis of foundations of positive model theory as introduced by Ben Yaacov and Poizat. The objects of this analysis are h-inductive theories and their models, especially the "positively" existentially closed ones. We analyze topological properties of spaces of types, introduce forms of quantifier elimination, and characterize minimal completions of arbitrary h-inductive theories. The main technical tools consist of various forms of amalgamations in special classes of structures.
