On n-Dependence

Abstract: In this note we develop and clarify some of the basic combinatorial properties of the new notion of n-dependence (for 1 ≤ n < ω) recently introduced by Shelah [She07]. In the same way as dependence of a theory means its inability to encode a bipartite random graph with a definable edge relation, n-dependence corresponds to the inability to encode a random (n + 1)-partite (n + 1)-hypergraph with a definable edge relation. Most importantly, we characterize n-dependence by counting ϕ-types over finite sets (gener… Show more

“…Though Theorem 3.14 is certainly an interesting result in its own right, it does not match the flavor of collapse-of-indiscernible results discovered thus far (in, say, [2], [4], and [17]). "Natural" dividing-lines typically do not involve linear orders.…”

“…[42] for an introduction to the area). Basic properties of -dependent theories are investigated in [14]. Roughly speaking, -dependence of a theory guarantees that the edge relation of an infinite generic ( + 1)-hypergraph is not definable in its models (see Definition 2.1).…”
