The Keisler-Shelah isomorphism theorem and the continuum hypothesis

Logic 2022-05-11 v2

Abstract

We show that if for any two elementary equivalent structures M,N\mathbf{M}, \mathbf{N} of size at most continuum in a countable language, Mω/UNω/U\mathbf{M}^{\omega}/ \mathcal{U} \simeq \mathbf{N}^\omega / \mathcal{U} for some ultrafilter U\mathcal{U} on ω,\omega, then CHCH holds. We also provide some consistency results about Keisler and Shelah isomorphism theorems in the absence of CHCH.
