Abstract

We consider the complexity (in terms of the arithmetical hierarchy) of the various quantifier levels of the diagram of a computably presented metric structure. As the truth value of a sentence of continuous logic may be any real in [0,1][0,1], we introduce two kinds of diagrams at each level: the closed diagram, which encapsulates weak inequalities of the form ϕMr\phi^\mathcal{M} \leq r, and the open diagram, which encapsulates strict inequalities of the form ϕM<r\phi^\mathcal{M} < r. We show that the closed and open ΣN\Sigma_N diagrams are ΠN+10\Pi^0_{N+1} and ΣN\Sigma_N respectively, and that the closed and open ΠN\Pi_N diagrams are ΠN0\Pi^0_N and ΣN+10\Sigma^0_{N + 1} respectively. We then introduce effective infinitary formulas of continuous logic and extend our results to the hyperarithmetical hierarchy. Finally, we demonstrate that our results are optimal.
