Model theory

In mathematical logic, model theory is the study of the relationship between formal theories (a collection of sentences in a formal language expressing statements about a mathematical structure), and their models (those structures in which the statements of the theory hold). The aspects investigated include the number and size of models of a theory, the relationship of different models to each other, and their interaction with the formal language itself. In particular, model theorists also investigate the sets that can be defined in a model of a theory, and the relationship of such definable sets to each other.As a separate discipline, model theory goes back to Alfred Tarski, who first used the term "Theory of Models" in publication in 1954.Since the 1970s, the subject has been shaped decisively by Saharon Shelah's stability theory. Compared to other areas of mathematical logic such as proof theory, model theory is often less concerned with formal rigour and closer in spirit to classical mathematics.This has prompted the comment that "if proof theory is about the sacred, then model theory is about the profane".The applications of model theory to algebraic and diophantine geometry reflect this proximity to classical mathematics, as they often involve an integration of algebraic and model-theoretic results and techniques. The most prominent scholarly organization in the field of model theory is the Association for Symbolic Logic. (Wikipedia).

Model Theory - part 03 - Terms, Formulas, Sequents

He we are a little bit more precise about keeping track of what fragments of formal languages we are using. This becomes relevant when you want to interpret them later. Caramello's book was useful in preparing this. We also found the post on nCatLab useful.

I learned about this approach from Riehl in the existential context here. Her webpage is here: http://www.math.jhu.edu/~eriehl/ Also, I found the refrences by Caramello and Awodey very helpful. They build on what is done in Reyes-Makkai. Whatever Awodey writes is basically gold. Here he

These are the categories where functors from these dudes are models... these take forever to define. On top of it, these end up just being friggin' definable sets and definable morphisms!! I remember being a place in here where there is a diagram which i say commutes but I need to actually
