Abstract
The notion of a randomization of a rst order structure was introduced by Keisler in the paper Randomizations of Models, Advances in Math. 1999. The idea was to form a new structure whose elements are random elements of the original rst order structure. In this paper we treat randomizations as continuous structures in the sense of Ben Yaacov and Usvyatsov. In this setting, the earlier results show that the randomization of a complete rst order theory is a complete theory in continuous logic that admits elimination of quantiers and has a natural set of axioms. We show that the randomization operation preserves the properties of being omega-categorical, omega-stable, and stable.
期刊介绍:
Confluentes Mathematici is a mathematical research journal. Since its creation in 2009 by the Institut Camille Jordan UMR 5208 and the Unité de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées UMR 5669 of the Université de Lyon, it reflects the wish of the mathematical community of Lyon—Saint-Étienne to participate in the new forms of scientific edittion. The journal is electronic only, fully open acces and without author charges. The journal aims to publish high quality mathematical research articles in English, French or German. All domains of Mathematics (pure and applied) and Mathematical Physics will be considered, as well as the History of Mathematics. Confluentes Mathematici also publishes survey articles. Authors are asked to pay particular attention to the expository style of their article, in order to be understood by all the communities concerned.
