In this note, we investigate a new model theoretical tree property, called the antichain tree property (ATP). We develop combinatorial techniques for ATP. First, we show that ATP is always witnessed by a formula in a single free variable, and for formulas, not having ATP is closed under disjunction. Second, we show the equivalence of ATP and k-ATP, and provide a criterion for theories to have not ATP (being NATP).Using these combinatorial observations, we find algebraic examples of ATP and NATP, including pure groups, pure fields, and valued fields. More precisely, we prove Mekler's construction for groups, Chatzidakis-Ramsey's style criterion for PAC fields, and the AKE-style principle for valued fields preserving NATP. And we give a construction of an antichain tree in the Skolem arithmetic and atomless Boolean algebras.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
