Using Ultrapowers to Compare Continuous Structures

Logic 2022-06-15 v1

Abstract

In 1967 the author introduced a pre-ordering of all first order complete theories where T is lower than U if it is easier for an ultrapower of a model of T than an ultrapower of a model of U to be saturated. In a long series of recent papers, Malliaris and Shelah showed that this pre-ordering is very rich and gives a useful way of classifying simple theories. In this paper we investigate the analogous pre-ordering in continuous model theory.
