In model theory, a discipline within mathematical logic, an abstract elementary class, or AEC for short, is a class of models with a partial order similar to the relation of an elementary substructure of an elementary class in first-order model theory. They were introduced by Saharon Shelah.〔.〕 == Definition == , for a class of structures in some language , is an AEC if it has the following properties: * is a partial order on . * If then is a substructure of . * Isomorphisms: is closed under isomorphisms, and if and then * Coherence: If and then * Tarski–Vaught chain axioms: If is an ordinal and is a chain (i.e. ), then: * * * * If , for all , then * Löwenheim–Skolem axiom: There exists a cardinal , such that if is a subset of the universe of , then there is in whose universe contains such that and . We let denote the least such and call it the Löwenheim–Skolem number of . Note that we usually do not care about the models of size less than the Löwenheim–Skolem number and often assume that there are none (we will adopt this convention in this article). This is justified since we can always remove all such models from an AEC without influencing its structure above the Löwenheim–Skolem number. A -embedding is a map for such that and is an isomorphism from onto . If is clear from context, we omit it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「abstract elementary class」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
