Enayat Models of Peano Arithmetic
Abstract
Simpson showed that every countable model has an expansion that is pointwise definable. A natural question is whether, in general, one can obtain expansions of a non-prime model in which the definable elements coincide with those of the underlying model. Enayat showed that this is impossible by proving that there is such that for each undefinable class of , the expansion is pointwise definable. We call models with this property Enayat models. In this paper, we study Enayat models and show that a model of is Enayat if it is countable, has no proper cofinal submodels and is a conservative extension of all of its elementary cuts. We then show that, for any countable linear order , if there is a model such that , then there is an Enayat model such that .
