Abstract

In the context of Hrushovski constructions we take a language L \mathcal{L} with a ternary relation R R and consider the theory of the generic models Mα, M^{*}_{\alpha}, of the class of finite L \mathcal{L}-structures equipped with predimension functions δα, \delta_{\alpha}, for α(0,1]Q \alpha\in(0,1]\cap\mathbb{Q} . The theory of generic structures of non-AC smooth classes have been investigated from different points of view, including decidability and their power in interpreting known structures and theories. For a rational α(0,1], \alpha\in(0,1], first we prove that the theory of Mα M^{*}_{\alpha} admits a quantifier elimination down to a meaningful class of formulas, called \textit{closure formulas}; and on the other hand we prove that Th(Mα) Th(M^{*}_{\alpha}) does not have the finite model property.
