Abstract
Building on the work of Avraham, Rubin, and Shelah, we aim to build a variant of the Fraïssé theory for uncountable models built from finite submodels. With this aim, we generalize the notion of an increasing set of reals to other structures. As an application, we prove that the following is consistent: there exists an uncountable, separable metric space X with rational distances, such that every uncountable partial 1-1 function from X to X is an isometry on an uncountable subset. We aim for a general theory of structures with this kind of properties. This includes results about the automorphism groups, and partial classification results.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes research papers and occasionally surveys or expositions on mathematical logic. Contributions are also welcomed from other related areas, such as theoretical computer science or philosophy, as long as the methods of mathematical logic play a significant role. The journal therefore addresses logicians and mathematicians, computer scientists, and philosophers who are interested in the applications of mathematical logic in their own field, as well as its interactions with other areas of research.
