Malliaris and Shelah famously proved that Keisler's order $\trianglelefteq$ has infinitely many classes. In more detail, for each $2 \leq k < n < \omega$, let $T_{n, k}$ be the theory of the random $k$-ary $n$-clique free hypergraph.…

In classification, it is usual to observe that models trained on a given set of classes can generalize to previously unseen ones, suggesting the ability to learn beyond the initial task. This ability is often leveraged in the context of…

We introduce the notion of first order amenability, as a property of a first order theory $T$: every complete type over $\emptyset$, in possibly infinitely many variables, extends to an automorphism-invariant global Keisler measure in the…

Suppose L is a relational language and P in L is a unary predicate. If M is an L-structure then P(M) is the L-structure formed as the substructure of M with domain {a: M models P(a)}. Now suppose T is a complete first order theory in L with…

Shelah has provided sufficient conditions for an $L_{\omega_1, \omega}$-sentence $\psi$ to have arbitrarily large models and for a Morley-like theorem to hold of $\psi$. These conditions involve structural and set-theoretic assumptions on…

The categoricity spectrum of a class of structures is the collection of cardinals in which the class has a single model up to isomorphism. Assuming that cardinal exponentiation is injective (a weakening of the generalized continuum…

A computable structure $\mathcal{A}$ has degree of categoricity $\mathbf{d}$ if $\mathbf{d}$ is exactly the degree of difficulty of computing isomorphisms between isomorphic computable copies of $\mathcal{A}$. Fokina, Kalimullin, and Miller…

lambda-good frame is for us a parallel of the class of models of a superstable theory. Our main line is to start with lambda-good^+ frame s, categorical in lambda, n-successful for n large enough and try to have parallel of stability theory…

In the theory of conditional sets, many classical theorems from areas such as functional analysis, probability theory or measure theory are lifted to a conditional framework, often to be applied in areas such as mathematical economics or…

New Foundations ($\mathrm{NF}$) is a set theory obtained from naive set theory by putting a stratification constraint on the comprehension schema; for example, it proves that there is a universal set $V$. $\mathrm{NFU}$ ($\mathrm{NF}$ with…

We develop some basic results about full amalgamation classes with intrinsic trascendentals. These classes have generics whose models may have finite subsets whose intrinsic closure is not contained in its algebraic closure. We will show…

We prove a new characterization of the Ramsey property of categories in terms of a generalized form of K\H{o}nig's tree lemma. Afterwards, we discuss its applications to structural Ramsey theory. In particular, we provide a new proof of the…

Classification theory of elementary classes deals with first order (elementary) classes of structures (i.e. fixing a set T of first order sentences, we investigate the class of models of T with the elementary submodel notion). It tries to…
