Non-field-type completions do not interpret infinite fields
Non-field-type completions do not interpret infinite fields
Let be a dense archimedean ordered abelian group, let be a strongly dependent and noiseless expansion, and let be a highly saturated elementary extension of . Let be the Shelah expansion and the completion structure. Non-field-type completion conjecture. If is not field-type, then does not interpret an infinite field. This is a conjectural strengthening of the modular decomposition: the field-type alternative is the only proposed source of an interpreted infinite field in the Shelah expansion.
