The theory of vector spaces and the theory fields are examples. We prove the amalgamation property and the existence of a model-companion. We show that the model-companion is strongly minimal. We also prove that the length of any increasing sequence of prime types is bounded, so every formula has finite Krull dimension.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-05-31T03:38:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C60" ], "keywords": [ "first-order theories", "finite krull dimension", "complete quantifier-free types", "theory fields", "prime types" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0812.3489Z" } } }
