This is the second in a series of articles surveying the body of work on the model theory of S-acts over a monoid S. The first concentrated on the theory of regular S-acts. Here we review the material on model-theoretic properties of free, projective and (strongly, weakly) flat S-acts. We consider questions of axiomatisability, completeness, model completeness and stability for these classes. Most but not all of the results have already appeared; we remark that the description of those monoids S such that the class of free left S-acts is axiomatisable, is new.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
