Abstract:
This talk is motivated by the following two soft questions: How do we sample an infinite sequence from a first order structure? What model theoretic properties might hold on almost all sampled sequences? We advance a plausible framework in an attempt to answer these kinds of questions. The central object of this talk is a proability space. The underlying set of our space is a standard model theoretic object, namely the space of types in countably many variables over a monster model. Our probability measure is an iterated Morley product of a fixed Borel-definable Keisler measure. Choosing a point randomly in this space with respect to our distribution yields a random generic type in infinitely many variables. We are interested in which model theoretic events hold for almost all random generic types. Two different kinds of events will be discussed: (1) The event that the induced structure on a random generic type is isomorphic to a fixed structure; (2) the event that a random generic type witnesses a dividing line.
