Combinations of structures
We investigate combinations of structures by families of structures relative to families of unary predicates and equivalence relations. Conditions preserving ω-categoricity and Ehrenfeuchtness under these combinations are characterized. The notions of e-spectra are introduced and possibilities for e-spectra are described.
It is shown that ω-categoricity for disjoint P-combinations means that there are finitely many indexes for new unary predicates and each structure in new unary predicate is either finite or ω-categorical. Similarly, the theory of E-combination is ω-categorical if and only if each given structure is either finite or ω-categorical and the set of indexes is either finite, or it is infinite and Ei-classes do not approximate infinitely many n-types for n ∈ ω. The theory of disjoint P-combination is Ehrenfeucht if and only if the set of indexes is finite, each given structure is either finite, or ω-categorical, or Ehrenfeucht, and some given structure is Ehrenfeucht.
Variations of structures related to combinations and E-representability are considered.
We introduce e-spectra for P-combinations and E-combinations, and show that these e-spectra can have arbitrary cardinalities.
The property of Ehrenfeuchtness for E-combinations is characterized in terms of e-spectra.
