Separating Models by Formulas and the Number of Countable Models

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We indicate a way of distinguishing between structures, for which, two structures are said to be separable.Being separable implies being non-isomorphic. We show that for any first order theory TT in a countable language, if it has an uncountable set of countable models that are pairwise separable, then actually it has such a set of size 2ℵ02^{\aleph_0}. Our result follows trivially assuming the Continuum Hypothesis (CHCH). We work here in ZFCZFC (only without CHCH).
