We study Kim-independence over arbitrary sets. Assuming that forking satisfies existence, we establish Kim's lemma for Kim-dividing over arbitrary sets in an NSOP$_{1}$ theory. We deduce symmetry of Kim-independence and the independence…

An important dividing line in the class of unstable theories is being NSOP$_1$, which is more general than being simple. In NSOP$_1$ theories forking independence may not be as well-behaved as in stable or simple theories, so it is replaced…

We show that NSOP$_{1}$ theories are exactly the theories in which Kim-independence satisfies a form of local character. In particular, we show that if $T$ is NSOP$_{1}$, $M\models T$, and $p$ is a type over $M$, then the collection of…

We adapt the properties of Kim-independence in NSOP1 theories with existence proven in [5],[4] and [2] by Ramsey, Kaplan, Chernikov, Dobrowolski and Kim to hyperimaginaries by adding the assumption of existence for hyperimaginaries. We show…

We prove several results on the behavior of Kim-independence upon changing the base in NSOP$_{1}$ theories. As a consequence, we prove that Kim-independence satisfies transitivity and that this characterizes NSOP$_{1}$. Moreover, we…

Kim's Lemma is a key ingredient in the theory of forking independence in simple theories. It asserts that if a formula divides, then it divides along every Morley sequence in type of the parameters. Variants of Kim's Lemma have formed the…

In the first part of this work the notion of stable Kim-forking is discussed and some context on this matter is given. In the second part a general way of building some examples of NSOP1 theories as the limit of some Fraisse class…

We prove some results about the theory of independence in $\mathrm{NSOP}_{3}$ theories that do not hold in $\mathrm{NSOP}_{4}$ theories. We generalize Chernikov's work on simple and co-simple types in $\mathrm{NTP}_{2}$ theories to types…

We develop the theory of Kim-independence in the context of NSOP$_{1}$ theories satsifying the existence axiom. We show that, in such theories, Kim-independence is transitive and that $\ind^{K}$-Morley sequences witness Kim-dividing. As…

We observe that a simple condition suffices to describes non-forking independence over models in a stable theory. Under mild assumptions, this description can be extended to non-forking independence over algebraically closed subsets,…

We initiate the study of a generalization of Kim-independence, Conant-independence, based on the "strong Kim-dividing" of Kaplan, Ramsey and Shelah. We introduce an axiom on stationary independence relations essentially generalizing the…

The proof of the Independence Theorem for Kim-independence in positive thick NSOP$_1$ theories from (Dobrowolski and Kamsma, 2022) contains a gap. The theorem is still true, and in this corrigendum we give a different proof.

The classes stable, simple and NSOP$_1$ in the stability hierarchy for first-order theories can be characterised by the existence of a certain independence relation. For each of them there is a canonicity theorem: there can be at most one…

We initiate a systematic study of \emph{generic stability independence} and introduce the class of \emph{treeless theories} in which this notion of independence is particularly well-behaved. We show that the class of treeless theories…

We present here some known and some new examples of non-simple NSOP1 theories and some behaviour that Kim-forking can exhibit in these theories, in particular that Kim-forking after forcing base monotonicity can or can not satisfy extension…

We define weak stable Kim-forking, a notion that generalizes stable forking to the context of NSOP1 theories. We adapt some of the known results on stable forking to this context.

We develop a framework, in the style of Adler, for interpreting the notion of "witnessing" that has appeared (usually as a variant of Kim's Lemma) in different areas of neostability theory as a binary relation between abstract independence…

We present a framework for studying the concept of independence in a general context covering database theory, algebra and model theory as special cases. We show that well-known axioms and rules of independence for making inferences…

We study expansions of NSOP$_1$ theories that preserve NSOP$_1$. We prove that if $T$ is a model complete NSOP$_1$ theory eliminating the quantifier $\exists^{\infty}$, then the generic expansion of $T$ by arbitrary constant, function, and…

Tree properties are introduced by Shelah, and it is well-known that a theory has TP (the tree property) if and only if it has TP$_1$ or TP$_2$. In any simple theory (i.e., a theory not having TP), forking supplies a good independence notion…
