Consider the expansion $T_S$ of a theory $T$ by a predicate for a submodel of a reduct $T_0$ of $T$. We present a setup in which this expansion admits a model companion $TS$. We show that the nice features of the theory $T$ transfer to…

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 exhibit a connection between geometric stability theory and the classification of unstable structures at the level of simplicity and the $\mathrm{NSOP}_{1}$-$\mathrm{SOP}_{3}$ gap. Particularly, we introduce generic expansions $T^{R}$ of…

We study the model theory of expansions of Hilbert spaces by generic predicates. We first prove the existence of model companions for generic expansions of Hilbert spaces in the form first of a distance function to a random substructure,…

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…

We study the theory $T_{m,n}$ of existentially closed incidence structures omitting the complete incidence structure $K_{m,n}$, which can also be viewed as existentially closed $K_{m,n}$-free bipartite graphs. In the case $m = n = 2$, this…

We study expansions of a vector space $V$ over a field $\mathbb F$, possibly with extra structure, with a generic submodule over a subring of $\mathbb F$. We construct a natural expansion by existentially defined functions so that the…

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…

Motivated by structural properties of differential field extensions, we introduce the notion of a theory $T$ being derivation-like with respect to another model complete theory $T_0$. We prove that when $T$ admits a model companion $T_+$,…

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…

Given a structure $\mathcal{M}$ and a stably embedded $\emptyset$-definable set $Q$, we prove tameness preservation results when enriching the induced structure on $Q$ by some further structure $\mathcal{Q}$. In particular, we show that if…

The main purpose of this paper is to present a new and more uniform model-theoretic/combinatorial proof of the theorem ([5]): The randomization $T^{R}$ of a complete first-order theory $T$ with $NIP$ is a (complete) first-order continuous…

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…

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…

Let K be an algebraically bounded structure and T be its theory. If T is model complete, then the theory of K endowed with a derivation, denoted by $T^{\delta}$, has a model completion. Additionally, we prove that if the theory T is…

We study expansions of Hilbert spaces with a bounded normal operator $T$. We axiomatize this theory in a natural language and identify all of its completions. We prove the definability of the adjoint $T^*$ and prove quantifier elimination…

We give an example of an SOP theory $T$, such that any $L(M)$-formula $\varphi(x,y)$ with $|y|=1$ is NSOP. We show that any such $T$ must have the independence property. We also give a simplified proof of Lachlan's theorem that if every…

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 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…

Building on work of Maltsev on locally free algebras in finite purely functional languages, we revisit the model theory of (absolutely free) term algebras and their completions. Maltsev's analysis yields a natural axiomatization together…
