The isomorphism theorem for linear fragments of continuous logic

Logic 2019-10-03 v1

Abstract

The ultraproduct construction is generalized to pp-ultramean constructions (1p<1\leqslant p<\infty) by replacing ultrafilters with finitely additive measures. These constructions correspond to the linear fragments Lp\mathscr L^p of continuous logic. A powermean variant of Keisler-Shelah isomorphism theorem is proved for Lp\mathscr L^p. It is then proved that Lp\mathscr L^p-sentences (and their approximations) are exactly those sentences of continuous logic which are preserved by such constructions. Some other applications are also given.
