Classification over a predicate -- the general case. Part I -- structure theory

Logic 2023-02-17 v2

Abstract

We begin a systematic development of structure theory for a first order theory, which is stable over a monadic predicate. We show that stability over a predicate implies quantifier free definability of types over stable sets, introduce an independence notion and explore its properties, prove stable amalgamation results, and show that every type over a model, orthogonal to the predicate, is generically stable.
