A borel reducibility theory for classes of countable structures
Journal of Symbolic Logic 54 (3):894-914 (1989)
| Abstract | We introduce a reducibility preordering between classes of countable structures, each class containing only structures of a given similarity type (which is allowed to vary from class to class). Though we sometimes work in a slightly larger context, we are principally concerned with the case where each class is an invariant Borel class (i.e. the class of all models, with underlying set = ω, of an L ω 1 ω sentence; from this point of view, the reducibility can be thought of as a (rather weak) sort of L ω 1 ω -interpretability notion). We prove a number of general results about this notion, but our main thrust is to situate various mathematically natural classes with respect to the preordering, most notably classes of algebraic structures such as groups and fields | |||||||||
