We give a description of the model theoretic relation of forking independence in terms of the notion of JSJ decompositions in non abelian free groups.
We isolate several classes of stationary sets of kappa^omega and investigate implications among them. Under a large cardinal assumption, we prove a structure theorem for stationary sets.
We provide a partial answer to a question asked independently by Kim and d'Elb\'ee and show that, under the assumption of the stable Kim-forking conjecture, every $\mathrm{NSOP}_1$ rosy theory must be simple. We also prove that the theory…
In this paper, we examine how various notions of independence in non-commutative probability theory arise in bi-free probability. We exhibit how Boolean and monotone independence occur from bi-free pairs of faces and establish a Kac/Loeve…
We prove that in theories without the tree property of the second kind (which include dependent and simple theories) forking and dividing over models are the same, and in fact over any extension base. As an application we show that…
In this note, we prove a result on the independence of $\ell$ for the supports of irreducible perverse sheaves occurring in the Decomposition Theorem, as well as for the family of local systems on each support. It generalizes Gabber's…
We present analogues of the Poisson limit distribution for the noncommutative bm-independence, which is associated with several positive symmetric cones. We construct related discrete Fock spaces with creation, annihilation and conservation…
We develop some model theory of multi-linear forms, generalizing Granger in the bi-linear case. In particular, after proving a quantifier elimination result, we show that for an NIP field K, the theory of infinite dimensional non-degenerate…
We give a complete characterization of the forking independence relation over any set of parameters in the free groups of finite rank, in terms of the $JSJ$ decompositions relative to those parameters.
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 classification of complete first-order theories, many dividing lines have been defined in order to understand the complexity and the behavior of some classes of theories. In this paper, using the concept of patterns of consistency…
The notion of a complete type can be generalized in a natural manner to allow assigning a value in an arbitrary Boolean algebra B to each formula. We show some basic results regarding the effect of the properties of B on the behavior of…
We provide a differential-algebraic description of forking independence in the stable theory DCF$_{p,m}$ of differentially closed fields of characteristic $p>0$ with $m$-many commuting derivations. As a by-product of this description, we…
Two objects are independent if they do not affect each other. Independence is well-understood in classical information theory, but less in algorithmic information theory. Working in the framework of algorithmic information theory, the paper…
Just as Lascar's notion of abstract rank axiomatizes the U-rank, we propose axioms for the ranks $SU^d$ and $SU^f$, the foundation ranks of dividing and forking. We study the relationships between these axioms. As with superstable, we…
We investigate the class of models of a general dependent theory. We continue math.LO/0702292 in particular investigating so called "decomposition of types"; thesis is that what holds for stable theory and for Th(Q,<) hold for dependent…
We study general methods to build forking-like notions in the framework of tame abstract elementary classes (AECs) with amalgamation. We show that whenever such classes are categorical in a high-enough cardinal, they admit a good frame: a…
We give four different independence relations on any exponential field. Each is a canonical independence relation on a suitable Abstract Elementary Class of exponential fields, showing that two of these are NSOP$_1$-like and non-simple, a…
We introduce the notion of dependence, as a property of a Keisler measure, and generalize several results of [HPS13] on generically stable measures (in $NIP$ theories) to arbitrary theories. Among other things, we show that this notion is…
We propose a generalisation of the Cameron-Erdos conjecture for sum-free sets to arbitrary non-translation invariant linear equations over Z in three or more variables and, using well-known methods from graph theory, prove a weak form of…
