Book Description
This book presents an introduction to model theory in 15 lectures. It concentrates on several key concepts: first-order definability, classification of complete types, elementary extensions, categoricity, automorphisms, and saturation; all illustrated with examples that require neither advanced alegbra nor set theory. A full proof of the compactness theorem for countable languages and its applications are given, followed by a discussion of the Ehrefeucht-Mostowski technique for constructing models admitting automorphisms. Additional topics include recursive saturation, nonstandard models of arithmetic, Abraham Robinson's model-theoretic proof of Tarski's theorem on undefinability of truth, and the proof of the Infinite Ramsey Theorem using an elementary extension of the standard model of arithmetic.

Lectures on Algebraic Model Theory
Author: Bradd T. Hart
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821827057
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
This thin volume contains three sets of lecture notes, representing recent developments in differential scales, o-minimality, and tame convergence theory. The first lecture outlines the basics of differential fields, and then addresses topics like differential varieties and tangent bundles, Kolchin's logarithmic derivative, and Manin's construction. The second describes added exponentation, T-convexity and tame extensions, piecewise linearity, the Wilkie inequality, and the valuation property. And the third considers the structure and varieties of finite algebra. No index. c. Book News Inc.

A Shorter Model Theory
Author: Wilfrid Hodges
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521587136
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
This is an up-to-date textbook of model theory taking the reader from first definitions to Morley's theorem and the elementary parts of stability theory. Besides standard results such as the compactness and omitting types theorems, it also describes various links with algebra, including the Skolem-Tarski method of quantifier elimination, model completeness, automorphism groups and omega-categoricity, ultraproducts, O-minimality and structures of finite Morley rank. The material on back-and-forth equivalences, interpretations and zero-one laws can serve as an introduction to applications of model theory in computer science. Each chapter finishes with a brief commentary on the literature and suggestions for further reading. This book will benefit graduate students with an interest in model theory.

Physical And Numerical Models In Knot Theory: Including Applications To The Life Sciences
Author: Jorge Alberto Calvo
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814480851
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 640
Book Description
The physical properties of knotted and linked configurations in space have long been of interest to mathematicians. More recently, these properties have become significant to biologists, physicists, and engineers among others. Their depth of importance and breadth of application are now widely appreciated and valuable progress continues to be made each year.This volume presents several contributions from researchers using computers to study problems that would otherwise be intractable. While computations have long been used to analyze problems, formulate conjectures, and search for special structures in knot theory, increased computational power has made them a staple in many facets of the field. The volume also includes contributions concentrating on models researchers use to understand knotting, linking, and entanglement in physical and biological systems. Topics include properties of knot invariants, knot tabulation, studies of hyperbolic structures, knot energies, the exploration of spaces of knots, knotted umbilical cords, studies of knots in DNA and proteins, and the structure of tight knots. Together, the chapters explore four major themes: physical knot theory, knot theory in the life sciences, computational knot theory, and geometric knot theory.
