Abstract

We have been discussing how the study of model theory is structured by drawing dividing lines based on the presence or absence of various combinatorial configurations. For example, we introduced the order property and the binary tree property to characterize stable theories. In this talk, we will focus on the independence property and introduce NIP theories—those that lack the independence property. We will also explore how NIP theories generalizes different features of stable theories we previously discussed.
