SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on mathematical logic, specifically model theory, addressing the concepts of elementary equivalence and isomorphism between structures (N;<) and (R;<). It establishes that two structures can be elementarily equivalent if they satisfy the same first-order sentences, yet not necessarily isomorphic, as isomorphism requires a specific mapping that preserves structure. The completeness theorem is also highlighted, indicating that every sentence has either a deduction or a counter-model, which is crucial for determining the truth of sentences in different structures.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of model theory and its terminology
  • Familiarity with first-order logic and σ-sentences
  • Knowledge of the completeness theorem in mathematical logic
  • Basic concepts of isomorphism and mapping in structures
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the relationship between elementary equivalence and isomorphism in detail
  • Explore the completeness theorem and its implications in model theory
  • Learn how to construct counter-models for specific logical sentences
  • Investigate examples of structures that are elementarily equivalent but not isomorphic
USEFUL FOR

Students of mathematical logic, model theorists, and anyone involved in formal logic or theoretical computer science seeking to deepen their understanding of structures and their properties.

Homework Statement



1.Assume the language has equality and a two-place predicate symbol. Given two structures (N;<) and (R;<), find a sentence true in one structure and false in the other. Can these two structures be elementarily equivalent? Can they be isomorphic? Why or why not?

2.The completeness theorem tells us that each sentence either has a
deduction or has a counter-model (i.e., a structure in which it is false). For each of the following sentences (in the attached picture), either show there is a deduction or give a counter-model.

Homework Equations



1.What is the relation between elementarily equivalent and isomorphic

2. How to decide whether the sentence has a deduction or a counter model?

The Attempt at a Solution



In model theory, a field within mathematical logic, two structures M and N of the same signature σ are called elementarily equivalent if they satisfy the same first-order σ-sentences.

An isomorphism is a kind of mapping between objects, which shows a relationship between two properties or operations.

If there exists an isomorphism between two structures, we call the two structures isomorphic. In a certain sense, isomorphic structures are structurally identical.
