From the compactness theorem, we will conclude that Γ is satisfiable, and from infinitary Ramsey’s theorem, we will conclude that Γ is not satisfiable. This contradiction proves finitary Ramsey’s theorem. First we define ...

Given an N -bounded FOK formula with one free variable x, we show that it is equivalent to a N 0 -bounded formula (over a possibly larger set of monadic predicates, suitably interpreted) in which the unary functions are only applied to x. We can remove occurrences of unary functions within the scope ...

Model theory

In mathematics, model theory is the study of classes of mathematical structures (e.g. groups, fields, graphs, universes of set theory) from the perspective of mathematical logic. The objects of study are models of theories in a formal language. We call a set of sentences in a formal language a theory; a model of a theory is a structure (e.g. an interpretation) that satisfies the sentences of that theory.Model theory recognises and is intimately concerned with a duality: It examines semantical elements (meaning and truth) by means of syntactical elements (formulas and proofs) of a corresponding language. To quote the first page of Chang & Keisler (1990):universal algebra + logic = model theory.Model theory developed rapidly during the 1990s, and a more modern definition is provided by Wilfrid Hodges (1997):model theory = algebraic geometry − fields,although model theorists are also interested in the study of fields. Other nearby areas of mathematics include combinatorics, number theory, arithmetic dynamics, analytic functions, and non-standard analysis.In a similar way to proof theory, model theory is situated in an area of interdisciplinarity among mathematics, philosophy, and computer science. The most prominent professional organization in the field of model theory is the Association for Symbolic Logic.
