Problem #15
Axiomatizability of generic automorphisms
Suppose T is a model complete theory admitting the axiomatizability of a generic automorphism. Must T be stable?
Definitions
Given an -theory , we define the language to be the language obtained by adding a new unary function symbol to the language and we define to be the -theory which extends with axioms asserting that is an automorphism. When is a model complete theory, we say admits the axiomatizability of a generic automorphism if has a model companion.
