Extreme types and extremal models

Logic 2024-01-17 v1

Abstract

In the affine fragment of continuous logic, type spaces are compact convex sets. I study some model theoretic properties of extreme types. It is proved that every complete theory TT has an extremal model, i.e. a model which realizes only extreme types. Extremal models form an elementary class in the full continuous logic sense if and only if the set of extreme nn-types is closed in Sn(T)S_n(T) for each nn. Also, some applications are given in the special cases where the theory has a compact or first order model.
