Definability in affine continuous logic

Abstract

I study definable sets in affine continuous logic. Let TT be an affine theory. After giving some general results, it is proved that if TT has a first order model, its extremal theory is a complete first order theory and first order definable sets are affinely definable. In this case, the type spaces of TT are Bauer simplices and they coincide with the sets of Keisler measures of the extremal theory. In contrast, if TT has a compact model, definable sets are exactly the end-sets of definable predicates. As an example, it is proved in the theory of probability algebras that one dimensional definable sets are exactly the intervals [a,b][a,b].
