Approximate isomorphism of randomization pairs
Abstract
We study approximate -categoricity of theories of beautiful pairs of randomizations, in the sense of continuous logic. This leads us to disprove a conjecture of Ben Yaacov, Berenstein and Henson, by exhibiting -categorical, -stable metric theories for which the corresponding theory of beautiful pairs is not approximately -categorical, i.e., has separable models that are not isomorphic even up to small perturbations of the smaller model of the pair. The theory of randomized infinite vector spaces over a finite field is such an example. On the positive side, we show that the theory of beautiful pairs of randomized infinite sets is approximately -categorical. We also prove that a related stronger property, which holds in that case, is stable under various natural constructions, and formulate our guesswork for the general case.
