Definability and Scott rank in separable metric structures
In a 2017 paper, Ben Yaacov et. al. extended the basic ideas of Scott analysis to metric structures in infinitary continuous logic. These include back-and-forth relations, Scott sentences, and the Lopez-Escobar theorem to name a few.
In this talk, I will talk my work connecting the ideas of Scott analysis to the definability of automorphism orbits and a notion of isolation for types within separable metric structures.
Our results are a continuous analogue of the robuster Scott rank developed by Montalbán for countable structures in discrete infinitary logic. However, there are some differences arising from the subtleties behind the notion of definability in continuous logic.
