Our aim is to analyze in as purely a model-theoretic context as possible some recent results of Shelah et al in which 0 − 1-laws for random structures of various types are proved by a specific kind of quantifier elimination: near model completeness. In Section 2 we describe the major results of these methods ([12], [11] etc.) and some of their context. In Section 3 we describe the framework in which these arguments can be carried out and prove one form of the general quantification elimination argument. We conclude the section by sketching a general outline of the proof of a 0−1 law. The hypotheses of this theorem have a ‘back and forth’ character. Establishing the ‘forth’ part depends heavily on probability computations and is not expounded here. The ‘back’ part is purely model theory. Section 4 carries out the ‘back’ portion of the proof in one context with some simplification from Shelah’s original version.","PeriodicalId":363831,"journal":{"name":"Logic and Random Structures","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115995013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
