On Some Infinitary Logics

Abstract

We define a new class of infinitary logics Lκ,α1\mathscr L^1_{\kappa,\alpha} generalizing Shelah's logic Lκ1\mathbb L^1_\kappa defined in \cite{MR2869022}. If κ=κ\kappa=\beth_\kappa and α<κ\alpha <\kappa is infinite then our logic coincides with Lκ1\mathbb L^1_\kappa. We study the relation between these logics for different parameters κ\kappa and α\alpha. We give many examples of classes of structures that can or cannot be defined in these logics. Finally, we give a different version of Lindstr\"{o}m's Theorem for Lκ1\mathbb L^1_\kappa in terms of the ϕ\phi-submodel relation.
