Trace definability I: preservation and characterizations
Erik Walsberg
We introduce a notion of weak definability of first order structures, show that various classification-theoretic properties are or are not preserved under it, and that the properti…

Trace definability IV: higher arity notions
Erik Walsberg
Motivated by the "composition theorems" of Chernikov-Hempel and Abd Aldaim-Conant-Terry we introduce -trace definability between first order theories. Any theory which is -tr…

Trace definability III: Infinite dimensional space over a model of
Erik Walsberg
We show that for a number of theories of model-theoretic interest there is a simpler theory and such that is trace equivalent to the theory of …

Trace definability II: model-theoretic linearity
Erik Walsberg
We give examples of structures in which new algebraic structure appears in the Shelah completion. In particular we construct a weakly o-minimal structure $\mathscr{M…
