Positive indiscernibles

Logic 2024-05-17 v2

Abstract

We generalise various theorems for finding indiscernible trees and arrays to positive logic: based on an existing modelling theorem for s-trees, we prove modelling theorems for str-trees, str0_0-trees (the reduct of str-trees that forgets the length comparison relation) and arrays. In doing so, we prove stronger versions for basing -- rather than locally basing or EM-basing -- str-trees on s-trees and str0_0-trees on str-trees. As an application we show that a thick positive theory has kk-TP2_2 iff it has 22-TP2_2.
