We introduce the framework of AECats (abstract elementary categories), generalising both the category of models of some first-order theory and the category of subsets of models. Any AEC and any compact abstract theory ("cat", as introduced…

We define and study logics in the framework of probabilistic team semantics and over metafinite structures. Our work is paralleled by the recent development of novel axiomatizable and tractable logics in team semantics that are closed under…

We present the basic ideas of forms (a generalization of Ehresmann's sketches) and their theories and models, more explicitly than in previous expositions. Forms provide the ability to specify mathematical structures and data types in any…

A new syntactic characterization of problems complete via Turing reductions is presented. General canonical forms are developed in order to define such problems. One of these forms allows us to define complete problems on ordered…

We study quasiminimal classes, i.e. abstract elementary classes (AECs) that arise from a quasiminimal pregeometry structure. For these classes, we develop an independence notion, and in particular, a theory of independence in $\M^{eq}$. We…

In the paper hereditary classes of ${\rm L}$-structures are studied with language of the form ${{\rm L} = {\rm L_{fin}} \cup {\rm L_\infty}}$, where ${{\rm L_{fin}} = \langle R_1,R_2,\ldots, R_m, = \rangle}$ and ${{\rm L_\infty} = \langle…

The cofinality quantifiers were introduced by Shelah as an example of a compact logic stronger than first-order logic. We show that the classes of models axiomatized by these quantifiers can be turned into an Abstract Elementary Class by…

We consider and characterize classes of finite and countably categorical structures and their theories preserved under $E$-operators and $P$-operators. We describe $e$-spectra and families of finite cardinalities for structures belonging to…

We provide here the first steps toward Classification Theory of Abstract Elementary Classes with no maximal models, plus some mild set theoretical assumptions, when the class is categorical in some lambda greater than its Lowenheim-Skolem…

Tame abstract elementary classes are a broad nonelementary framework for model theory that encompasses several examples of interest. In recent years, progress toward developing a classification theory for them have been made. Abstract…

In first order logic, it is known that you can define a topology so that the countable models of some theory $T$ form a Polish Space (i.e. completely metrizable second countable space). In this paper we use the Baldwin- Boney Relational…

We study the expressive power of fragments of inclusion logic under the so-called lax team semantics. The fragments are defined either by restricting the number of universal quantifiers or the arity of inclusion atoms in formulae. In case…

The logical parallelism of propositional connectives and type constructors extends beyond the static realm of predicates, to the dynamic realm of processes. Understanding the logical parallelism of process propositions and dynamic types was…

We propose a categorial grammar based on classical multiplicative linear logic. This can be seen as an extension of abstract categorial grammars (ACG) and is at least as expressive. However, constituents of {\it linear logic grammars (LLG)}…

We study multidimensional diagrams in independent amalgamation in the framework of abstract elementary classes (AECs). We use them to prove the eventual categoricity conjecture for AECs, assuming a large cardinal axiom. More precisely, we…

The category of models of any theory $T$ in any first-order language $L$ has the surprising property that any small category that is elementarily equivalent with it, already embeds in it. The proof uses an abstract argument via ultrapowers,…

It is well known that ZFC, despite its usefulness as a foundational theory for mathematics, has two unwanted features: it cannot be written down explicitly due to its infinitely many axioms, and it has a countable model due to the…
