The stable forking conjecture over a base
The stable forking conjecture over a base
Let be a simple -theory, with , , and tuples or sets in a sufficiently saturated model. Write for forking dependence over , and let denote the type of over . A formula is a stable -formula when it is stable in the language expanded by constants for .
Stable forking conjecture over a base. If , there is a formula which forks over , such that is a stable -formula.
This is presented as a weakening of the original stable forking conjecture, and the source says that it remains very much open. It agrees with the original formulation over the empty base after expanding the language by constants for the base.
