NSOP1 as a Dividing Line
摘要
The strong order property 1 (SOP \(_{1}\) ) is a model-theoretic tree property introduced by Džamonja and Shelah. We give an exposition of a family of results around NSOP \(_{1}\) theories, explaining why the NSOP \(_{1}\) /SOP \(_{1}\) divide is a meaningful dividing line among first-order theories. This involves summarizing work on Kim-independence and on the interpretability order, as well as aspects of Mutchnik’s work on SOP \(_{1}\) and SOP \(_{2}\) .
