We consider the structures
$(\mathbb {Z}; \mathrm {SF}^{\mathbb {Z}})$
,
$(\mathbb {Z}; <, \mathrm {SF}^{\mathbb {Z}})$
,
$(\mathbb {Q}; \mathrm {SF}^{\mathbb {Q}})$
, and
$(\mathbb {Q}; <, \mathrm {SF}^{\mathbb {Q}})$
where
$\mathbb {Z}$
is the additive group of integers,
$\mathrm {SF}^{\mathbb {Z}}$
is the set of
$a \in \mathbb {Z}$
such that
$v_{p}(a) < 2$
for every prime p and corresponding p-adic valuation
$v_{p}$
,
$\mathbb {Q}$
and
$\mathrm {SF}^{\mathbb {Q}}$
are defined likewise for rational numbers, and
$<$
denotes the natural ordering on each of these domains. We prove that the second structure is model-theoretically wild while the other three structures are model-theoretically tame. Moreover, all these results can be seen as examples where number-theoretic randomness yields model-theoretic consequences.
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.
