We give several new characterizations of $IP$ (the independence property) and $SOP$ (the strict order property) for continuous first order logic and study their relations to the function theory and the Banach space theory. We suggest new…

We give a new characterization of $SOP$ (the strict order property) in terms of the behaviour of formulas in any model of the theory as opposed to having to look at the behaviour of indiscernible sequences inside saturated ones. We refine a…

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 address the following question: Can we expand an NIP theory by adding a linear order such that the expansion is still NIP? Easily, if acl(A)=A for all A, then this is true. Otherwise, we give counterexamples. More precisely, there is a…

We investigate the extent of second order characterizable structures by extending Shelah's Main Gap dichotomy to second order logic. For this end we consider a countable complete first order theory T. We show that all sufficiently large…

Logical relations are one of the most powerful techniques in the theory of programming languages, and have been used extensively for proving properties of a variety of higher-order calculi. However, there are properties that cannot be…

This paper investigates a connection between the ordering triangleleft^ast among theories in model theory and the (N)SOP_n hierarchy of Shelah. It introduces two properties which are natural extensions of this hierarchy, called SOP_2 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…

In continuous logic, there are plenty of examples of interesting stable metric structures. However, on the other side of the SOP line, there are only a few metric structures where order is relevant, and orders often appear in different…

We introduce a variation on Barthe et al.'s higher-order logic in which formulas are interpreted as predicates over open rather than closed objects. This way, concepts which have an intrinsically functional nature, like continuity,…

The paper deals with two issues: the existence of universal models of a theory T and related properties when cardinal arithmetic does not give this existence offhand. In the first section we prove that simple theories (e.g., theories…

We show that constructible models of arbitrary complete continuous first-order theories are unique up to isomorphism.

In the context of continuous first-order logic, special attention is often given to theories that are somehow continuous in an 'essential' way. A common feature of such theories is that they do not interpret any infinite discrete…

The primary purpose of this article is to show that a certain natural set of axioms yields a completeness result for continuous first-order logic. In particular, we show that in continuous first-order logic a set of formulae is (completely)…

In this paper, we present a generalized effective completeness theorem for continuous logic. The primary result is that any continuous theory is satisfied in a structure which admits a presentation of the same Turing degree. It then follows…

We augment LP with a strong conditional operator, to yield a logic we call "strong LP," or LP=>. The resulting logic can speak of consistency in more discriminating ways, but introduces new possibilities for trivializing paradoxes.

A relevant thesis is that for the family of complete first order theories with NIP (i.e. without the independence property) there is a substantial theory, like the family of stable (and the family of simple) first order theories. We examine…

We show that a complete first-order theory $T$ is distal provided it has a model $M$ such that the theory of the Shelah expansion of $M$ is distal.

This paper presents a simple generalization of causal consistency suited to any object defined by a sequential specification. As causality is captured by a partial order on the set of operations issued by the processes on shared objects…

Answering a question of D\v{z}amonja and Shelah, we show that every NSOP$_2$ theory is NSOP$_1$.
