We study NSOP$_{1}$ theories. We define Kim-independence, which generalizes non-forking independence in simple theories and corresponds to non-forking at a generic scale. We show that Kim-independence satisfies a version of Kim's lemma,…

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…

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 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 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 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 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…

We introduce a family of local ranks DQ depending on a finite set Q of pairs of the form (\varphi(x,y),q(y)) where \varphi(x,y) is a formula and q(y) is a global type. We prove that in any NSOP1 theory these ranks satisfy some desirable…

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…

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…

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…

We give definitions of the properties OP, IP, $k$-TP, TP$_1$, $k$-TP$_2$, SOP$_1$, SOP$_2$ and SOP$_3$ in positive logic, and prove various implications and equivalences between them. We also provide a characterisation of stability in…

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…

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.

We introduce and examine some special classes of invariant types$\unicode{x2014}$bi-invariant, strongly bi-invariant, extendibly invariant, and reliably invariant types$\unicode{x2014}$and show that they are related to certain…

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 give several characterizations of when a complete first-order theory $T$ is monadically NIP, i.e. when expansions of $T$ by arbitrary unary predicates do not have the independence property. The central characterization is a condition on…

We show that Kim-forking satisfies existence in all NSOP$_1$ theories.

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…
