While a complete type is omissible in a model of a complete theory if and only if it is not principal, this is not true for incomplete types by a result of Ben Yaacov. We prove that there is no simple test for determining whether a type is omissible in a model of a theory $\\bfT$ in a separable language. More precisely, we find a theory in a separable language such that the set of types omissible in some of its models is a complete $\\bSigma^1_2$ set and a complete theory in a separable language such that the set of types omissible in some of its models is a complete $\\bPi^1_1$ set. We also construct a complete theory and countably many types that are separately omissible, but not jointly omissible, in its models.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-11T21:18:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "metric structures", "omitting types", "complete theory", "separable language", "ben yaacov" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1411.2987F" } } }
