Dependence and Isolated Extensions

Logic 2011-08-31 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we show that \phi is a dependent formula if and only if all \phi-types have an extension to a \phi-isolated \phi-type that is an "elementary \phi-extension" (see Definition 2.3 in the paper). Moreover, we show that the domain of this extension adds at most 2 times the independence dimension of \phi new elements to the domain of the original \phi-type. We give corollaries to this theorem and discuss parallels to the stable setting.
