We show that if the restriction of the Lascar equivalence relation to a KP-strong type is non-trivial, then it is non-smooth (when viewed as a Borel equivalence relation on an appropriate space of types).

We study forking, Lascar strong types, Keisler measures and definable groups, under an assumption of $NIP$ (not the independence property), continuing aspects of math.LO/0607442. Among key results are: (i) if $p = tp(b/A)$ does not fork…

We study strong types and Galois groups in model theory from a topological and descriptive-set-theoretical point of view, leaning heavily on topological dynamical tools. More precisely, we give an abstract (not model theoretic) treatment of…

We show that the Lascar group $\operatorname{Gal}_L(T)$ of a first order theory $T$ is naturally isomorphic to the fundamental group $\pi_1(|\operatorname{Mod}(T)|)$ of the classifying space of the category of models of $T$ and elementary…

We identify a canonical structure J associated to any first-order theory, the {\it space of definability patterns}. It generalizes the imaginary algebraic closure in a stable theory, and the hyperimaginary bounded closure in simple…

For a rosy theory, we give a canonical surjective homomorphism from a Lascar group over $A=\acl^{eq}(A)$ to a first homology group of a strong type over $A$, and we describe its kernel by an invariant equivalence relation. As a consequence,…

We work in a first-order setting where structures are spread out over a metric space, with quantification allowed only over bounded subsets. Assuming a doubling property for the metric space, we define a canonical {\em core} $\mathcal{J}$…

We generalise the main theorems from the paper "The Borel cardinality of Lascar strong types" by I. Kaplan, B. Miller and P. Simon to a wider class of bounded invariant equivalence relations. We apply them to describe relationships between…

We study the Borel-reducibility of isomorphism relations of complete first order theories and show the consistency of the following: For all such theories T and T', if T is classifiable and T' is not, then the isomorphism of models of T' is…

Let T be a countable, small simple theory. In this paper, we prove for such T, the notion of Lascar Strong type coincides with the notion of a strong type,over an arbitrary set.

Let $p$ be a strong type of an algebraically closed tuple over $B=\acl^{\eq}(B)$ in any theory $T$. Depending on a ternary relation $\indo^*$ satisfying some basic axioms (there is at least one such, namely the trivial independence in $T$),…

We investigate the $\mathcal F$-Borel complexity of topological spaces in their different compactifcations. We provide a simple proof of the fact that a space can have arbitrarily many different complexities in different compactifications.…

We develop topological dynamics for the group of automorphisms of a monster model of any given theory. In particular, we find strong relationships between objects from topological dynamics (such as the generalized Bohr compactification…

This is an exposition a theorem of mathematical logic which only assumes the notions of structure, elementary equivalence, and compactness (saturation). Newelski proved that type-definable Lascar strong types have finite diameter. Our…

Answering one of the main questions of [FHK14, Chapter 7], we show that there is a tight connection between the depth of a classifiable shallow theory $T$ and the Borel rank of the isomorphism relation $\cong^\kappa_T$ on its models of size…

We present the (Lascar) Galois group of any countable theory as a quotient of a compact Polish group by an $F_\sigma$ normal subgroup: in general, as a topological group, and under NIP, also in terms of Borel cardinality. This allows us to…

We study the class of compact spaces that appear as structure spaces of separable Banach lattices. In other words, we analyze what $C(K)$ spaces appear as principal ideals of separable Banach lattices. Among other things, it is shown that…

For a cardinal lambda<lambda_{omega_1} we give a ccc forcing notion P which forces that for some Borel subset B of the Cantor space (1) there a sequence (eta_alpha:alpha<lambda) of distinct elements such that |(eta_alpha+B) cap…

In this paper we study the Lascar group over a hyperimaginary e. We verify that various results about the group over a real set still hold when the set is replaced by e. First of all, there is no written proof in the available literature…

We prove that topological isomorphism on procountable groups is not classifiable by countable structures, in the sense of descriptive set theory. In fact, the equivalence relation $\ell_\infty$ expressing that two sequences of reals have a…
