Thus for example, Top is the context for general topology, Grp is the context for group theory, etc. On the other hand, the last two examples illustrate that many important mathematical structures themselves appear as categories of particular kinds. The fact that two such different kinds ...

... 2.1. Definition of independence. Let A, B and C be subsets of a model K of ACFA. We say that A and B are independent over C, and write A ^C B, if aclσ (CA) and aclσ (CB) are linearly disjoint over aclσ (C). This notion has all the usual properties of independence in algebraically closed fields. Reca ...

Gödel Without (Too Many) Tears

Later he would do immensely important work on set theory, as ...

Continuous first order logic and local stability

First-Order Proof Theory of Arithmetic
... can prove the arithmetized version of the cut-elimination theorem and those which cannot; in practice, this is equivalent to whether the theory can prove that the superexponential function i 7→ 21i is total. The very weak theories are theories which do not admit any induction axioms. Non-logical sym ...

Notes on First Order Logic
... Induction Step Suppose that ϕ is (∀y)ψ. Since τ is substitutable for x in ϕ we have two cases: 1. x does not occur free in ψ. Then ((∀y)ψ)[x/τ ] is the same as (∀y)ψ. Furthermore s and s[x/τ ] agree on all free variables in (∀y)ψ. By Theorem ??, we have A, s |= (∀y)ψ[x/τ ] iff A, s |= (∀y)ψ iff A, ...
