We prove a number of results relating the concepts of Keisler measures, generic stability, randomizations, and NIP formulas. Among other things, we do the following: (1) We introduce the notion of a Keisler-Morley measure, which plays the…
We discuss two constructions for obtaining generically stable Keisler measures in an NIP theory. First, we show how to symmetrize an arbitrary invariant measure to obtain a generically stable one from it. Next, we show that suitable…
In NIP theories, generically stable Keisler measures can be characterized in several ways. We analyze these various forms of "generic stability" in arbitrary theories. Among other things, we show that the standard definition of generic…
We study stable like behaviour in first order theories without the independence property. We introduce generically stable measures, give characterizatiions, and show their ubiquity. We also introduce generic compact domination. We also…
We investigate Keisler measures in arbitrary theories. Our initial focus is on Borel definability. We show that when working over countable parameter sets in countable theories, Borel definable measures are closed under Morley products and…
We study generically stable measures in the local, NIP context. We show that in this setting, a measure is generically stable if and only if it admits a natural finite approximation.
As consequence of the VC theorem, any pseudo-finite measure over an NIP ultraproduct is generically stable. We demonstrate a converse of this theorem and prove that any finitely approximable measure over an ultraproduct is itself…
This article is written in celebration of the 8th Kazakh-French Logical Colloquium. We expand on an unpublished research note of the second author. We record some results concerning local Keisler measures with respect to a formula which is…
This paper is a modified chapter of the author's Ph.D. thesis. We introduce the notions of sequentially approximated types and sequentially approximated Keisler measures. As the names imply, these are types which can be approximated by a…
We study idempotent measures and the structure of the convolution semigroups of measures over definable groups. We isolate the property of generic transitivity and demonstrate that it is sufficient (and necessary) to develop stable group…
We initiate a systematic study of the convolution operation on Keisler measures, generalizing the work of Newelski in the case of types. Adapting results of Glicksberg, we show that the supports of generically stable (or just definable,…
We introduce the notions of $rgs$ and $irgs$ as properties of a Keisler measure $\mu$, and prove that they are respectively equivalent to the existence of a generically stable random type that extends $\mu$ and to the fact that its…
We study forking, Lascar strong types, Keisler measures and definable groups, under an assumption of $NIP$ (not the independence property), continuing aspects of math.LO/0607442. Among key results are: (i) if $p = tp(b/A)$ does not fork…
We study Keisler measures in strongly n-distal NIP theories, generalizing some results of Simon and Chernikov-Starchenko for distal theories and addressing some questions of Walker. In particular, we establish a hypergraph version of the…
We study one way in which stable phenomena can exist in an NIP theory. We start by defining a notion of 'pure instability' that we call 'distality' in which no such phenomenon occurs. O-minimal theories and the p-adics for example are…
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 study generically stable types/measures in both classical and continuous logics, and their connection with randomization and modes of convergence of types/measures.
We study non-orthogonality of symmetric, regular types and show that it preserves generic stability and is an equivalence relation on the set of all generically stable, regular types. We will also prove that some of the nice properties from…
Generalizing Fujita-Odaka invariant, we define a function $\tilde{\delta}$ on a set of generalized $b$-divisors over a smooth Fano variety. This allows us to provide a new characterization of uniform $K$-stability. A key role is played by a…
We show that every general theory \`a la Keisler with the Schr\"oder-Bernstein property is stable. This generalizes the corresponding result from classical logic due to John Goodrick. Our proof uses the classical result (generalized to the…
