The benignity conjecture for subsets of models of stable theories
The benignity conjecture for subsets of models of stable theories
Let be a stable theory, let be a model of , and let . The set is benign in if equality of types over implies equality of the corresponding types in the language expanded by a predicate for . The benignity conjecture. Every subset is benign. Shelah observed a counterexample: there is an -stable rank- theory with ndop having a model and a subset that is not benign. Thus the conjecture is refuted.
