Restricting our attention to when the rank $\\delta$ is rational valued, we show that each countable model of the theory of a given Baldwin-Shi hypergraph is isomorphic to a generic structure built from some suitable subclass of the original class of finite structures with the inherited notion of strong substructure. We introduce a notion of dimension for a model and show that there is a an elementary chain $\\{\\mathfrak{M}_{\\beta}:\\beta<\\omega+1\\}$ of countable models of the theory of a fixed Baldwin-Shi hypergraph with $\\mathfrak{M}_{\\beta}\\preccurlyeq\\mathfrak{M}_\\gamma$ if and only if the dimension of $\\mathfrak{M}_\\beta$ is at most the dimension of $\\mathfrak{M}_\\gamma$ and that each countable model is isomorphic to some $\\mathfrak{M}_\\beta$. We also study the regular types that appear in these theories and show that the dimension of a model is determined by a particular regular type. Further, drawing on the work of Brody and Laskowski, we use these structures to give an example of a pseudofinite, $\\omega$-stable theory with a non-locally modular regular type, answering a question of Pillay in $[9]$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2018-07-16T16:33:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C65", "03C45" ], "keywords": [ "countable model", "non-locally modular regular type", "generic structure built", "finite structures", "strong substructure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
