Other forms of quantification Other Quantifiers The most important quantifiers are ∀ and ∃, but we could define many different quantifiers: “there is a unique”, “there are exactly two”, “there are no more than three”, “there are at least 100”, etc. A common one is the uniqueness quantifier, denoted ...

Enumerations in computable structure theory
... It is easy to see that if A has a formally c.e. Scott family, then it is relatively computably categorical, so it is computably categorical. More generally, if A has a formally Σ0α Scott family, then we can see, using Theorem 1.1, that it is relatively ∆0α categorical, so it is ∆0α categorical. Gon ...
