Definable Sets

This file defines what it means for a set over a first-order structure to be definable.

Main Definitions

• Set.Definable is defined so that A.Definable L s indicates that the set s of a finite cartesian power of M is definable with parameters in A.
• Set.Definable₁ is defined so that A.Definable₁ L s indicates that (s : Set M) is definable with parameters in A.
• Set.Definable₂ is defined so that A.Definable₂ L s indicates that (s : Set (M × M)) is definable with parameters in A.
• A FirstOrder.Language.DefinableSet is defined so that L.DefinableSet A α is the boolean algebra of subsets of α → M defined by formulas with parameters in A.

Main Results

• L.DefinableSet A α forms a BooleanAlgebra
• Set.Definable.image_comp shows that definability is closed under projections in finite dimensions.
