In model theory, a first-order theory is called model complete if every embedding of its models is an elementary embedding. Equivalently, every first-order...

Gödel's completeness theorem is about this latter kind of completeness. Complete theories are closed under a number of conditions internally modelling the...

In mathematical logic, model theory is the study of the relationship between formal theories (a collection of sentences in a formal language expressing...

The completeness theorem applies to any first-order theory: If T is such a theory, and φ is a sentence (in the same language) and every model of T is...

in particular domains or under certain conditions. For some theories, a more complete model is known, but for practical use, the coarser approximation...

from the theory. A satisfiable theory is a theory that has a model. This means there is a structure M that satisfies every sentence in the theory. Any satisfiable...

is structurally complete if every admissible rule is derivable. A theory is model complete if and only if every embedding of its models is an elementary...

Finite model theory is a subarea of model theory. Model theory is the branch of logic which deals with the relation between a formal language (syntax)...

theories about a spherical, moving globe. In the 3rd century BCE, Aristarchus of Samos proposed what was, so far as is known, the first serious model...

In model theory and related areas of mathematics, a type is an object that describes how a (real or possible) element or finite collection of elements...

special kind of formal system. A formal theory is an axiomatic system (usually formulated within model theory) that describes a set of sentences that...

In universal algebra and in model theory, a structure consists of a set along with a collection of finitary operations and relations that are defined on...

mathematical logic, a theory is categorical if it has exactly one model (up to isomorphism). Such a theory can be viewed as defining its model, uniquely characterizing...

theory is satisfiable if it has a model, i.e., there exists an interpretation under which all axioms in the theory are true. This is what consistent meant...

mathematical field of model theory, a theory is called stable if it satisfies certain combinatorial restrictions on its complexity. Stable theories are rooted in...

Consequently, proof theory is syntactic in nature, in contrast to model theory, which is semantic in nature. Some of the major areas of proof theory include structural...

property down to equality. A theory T is an o-minimal theory if every model of T is o-minimal. It is known that the complete theory T of an o-minimal structure...

such sets. Thus the axioms of Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory refer only to pure sets and prevent its models from containing urelements (elements that are not...

Computability theory, also known as recursion theory, is a branch of mathematical logic, computer science, and the theory of computation that originated...

mathematics. Major subareas include model theory, proof theory, set theory, and recursion theory (also known as computability theory). Research in mathematical...

In model theory, interpretation of a structure M in another structure N (typically of a different signature) is a technical notion that approximates the...

A semantic theory of truth is a theory of truth in the philosophy of language which holds that truth is a property of sentences. The semantic conception...

semantics. In mathematical logic, this is often done in terms of model theory. In model theory, the terms that occur in a formula are interpreted as objects...

In computability theory, a system of data-manipulation rules (such as a model of computation, a computer's instruction set, a programming language, or...

first-order theory is given by a set of axioms in some language. This entry lists some of the more common examples used in model theory and some of their...

In set theory, the complement of a set A, often denoted by A c {\displaystyle A^{c}} (or A′), is the set of elements not in A. When all elements in the...
