Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Categorical preliminaries -- 3. Infinite language categories -- 4. Functional fragment model theory -- 5. Algebraic theories, categories and models -- 6. Generic functional models and topos -- 7. Models, sheaves, and topos --8. Functors on fields -- 9. Filters and ultraproducts on projective sets -- 10. A glimpse on algebraic set theory-- Bibliography-- Index.
Summary: This book is an introduction to a functorial model theory based on infinitary language categories. The author introduces the properties and foundation of these categories before developing a model theory for functors starting with a countable fragment of an infinitary language. He also presents a new technique for generating generic models with categories by inventing infinite language categories and functorial model theory. In addition, the book covers string models, limit models, and functorial models.
