On some Fraisse limits with free amalgamation
Yvon Bossut
TL;DR
The work develops a general method to produce NSOP$_1$ theories as Fraïssé limits of classes with strong free-amalgamation properties under hypothesis $(H)$. It proves existence and that Kim-independence coincides with algebraic independence, while forking arises from base monotonicity of Kim-forking, and it furnishes a stationary independence relation. The framework is extended via parameterization to obtain broader NSOP$_1$ limits and to characterize when such limits fail to be simple. It also analyzes how adding generic predicates and generic functions preserves $(H)$ and yields explicit non-simple NSOP$_1$ examples. Building on foundational results of $<$Baudisch, Ramsey, Chernikov, Kruckman$>$, the paper situates its constructions within the landscape of NSOP$_1$ model theory and outlines directions for future exploration of stationary-independence NSOP$_1$ theories.
Abstract
In the first part of this work the notion of stable Kim-forking is discussed and some context on this matter is given. In the second part a general way of building some examples of NSOP1 theories as the limit of some Fraisse class satisfying stronger conditions is given. These limits will satisfy existence, that Kim-independence coincide with algebraic independence, and that forking independence is obtained by forcing base monotonicity on Kim-forking over arbitrary sets. These theories also come with a stationary independence relation. This study is based on the results of Baudisch, Ramsey, Chernikov and Kruckman.
