Theorem 13.7 One assumes that \( \operatorname{SpM} \) contains only one element \( \lambda \) of maximal modulus (that modulus is thus equal to \( \rho \left( M\right) \) ).\n\nIf \( \rho \left( M\right) = 0 \), the method stops because \( M{x}^{k} = 0 \) for some \( k < n \) .\n\nOtherwise, let \( {\mathbb{C}}^{n} = ...

Corollary 2.1.3 \( T \) is consistent if and only if \( T \) is satisfiable.
Proof Suppose that \( T \) is not satisfiable. Because there are no models of \( T \), every model of \( T \) is a model of \( \left( {\phi \land \neg \phi }\right) \) . Thus, \( T \vDash \left( {\phi \land \neg \phi }\right) \) and by the Completeness Theorem \( T \vdash \left( {\phi \land \neg \phi }\right) \) .
Yes
Theorem 2.1.4 (Compactness Theorem) \( T \) is satisfiable if and only if every finite subset of \( T \) is satisfiable.
Proof Clearly, if \( T \) is satisfiable, then every subset of \( T \) is satisfiable. On the other hand, if \( T \) is not satisfiable, then \( T \) is inconsistent.

Lemma 2.1.6 Suppose \( T \) is a maximal and finitely satisfiable \( \mathcal{L} \) -theory. If \( \Delta \subseteq T \) is finite and \( \Delta \vDash \psi \), then \( \psi \in T \) .
Proof If \( \psi \notin T \), then, because \( T \) is maximal, \( \neg \psi \in T \) . But then \( \Delta \cup \{ \neg \psi \} \) is a finite unsatisfiable subset of \( T \), a contradiction.

Lemma 2.1.9 Suppose that \( T \) is a finitely satisfiable \( \mathcal{L} \) -theory and \( \phi \) is an \( \mathcal{L} \) -sentence, then, either \( T \cup \{ \phi \} \) or \( T \cup \{ \neg \phi \} \) is finitely satisfiable.
Proof Suppose that \( T \cup \{ \phi \} \) is not finitely satisfiable. Then, there is a finite \( \Delta \subseteq T \) such that \( \Delta \vDash \neg \phi \) . We claim that \( T \cup \{ \neg \phi \} \) is finitely satisfiable. Let \( \sum \) be a finite subset of \( T \) . Because \( \Delta \cup \sum \) is satisfia...

Corollary 2.1.10 If \( T \) is a finitely satisfiable \( \mathcal{L} \) -theory, then there is a maximal finitely satisfiable \( \mathcal{L} \) -theory \( {T}^{\prime } \supseteq T \) .

If \( C \subseteq I \) is a chain, let \( {T}_{C} = \bigcup \{ \sum : \sum \in C\} \) . If \( \Delta \) is a finite subset of \( {T}_{C} \), then there is \( \sum \in C \) s...

Lemma 2.1.14 If \( T \vDash \phi \), then \( \Delta \vDash T \) for some finite \( \Delta \subseteq T \) .
Proof Suppose not. Let \( \Delta \subseteq T \) be finite. Because \( \Delta \mathrel{\text{\vDash \not{} }} \phi ,\Delta \cup \{ \neg \phi \} \) is satisfiable. Thus, \( T \cup \{ \neg \phi \} \) is finitely satisfiable and, by the Compactness Theorem, \( T \mathrel{\text{\vDash \not{} }} \phi \) .

Clearly, if \( V \) is any vector space over \( \mathbb{Q} \) , then the underlying additive group of \( V \) is a model of \( T \) . On the other hand, if \( G \vDash T, g \in G \), and \( n ...

Theorem 2.2.6 (Vaught’s Test) Let \( T \) be a satisfiable theory with no finite models that is \( \kappa \) -categorical for some infinite cardinal \( \kappa \geq \left| \mathcal{L}\right| \) . Then \( T \) is complete.
Proof Suppose that \( T \) is not complete. Then there is a sentence \( \phi \) such that \( T \mathrel{\text{\vDash \not{} }} \phi \) and \( T \mathrel{\text{\vDash \not{} }} \neg \phi \) . Because \( T \mathrel{\text{\vDash \not{} }} \psi \) if and only if \( T \cup \{ \neg \psi \} \) is satisfiable, the theories \( ...

Lemma 2.2.8 Let \( T \) be a recursive complete satisfiable theory in a recursive language \( \mathcal{L} \). Then \( T \) is decidable.

Because \( T \) is consistent \( A \cup B \) is the set of all \( \mathcal{L} \)-sentences. By the Completeness Theorem, \( A = \{ \phi : T \vdash \phi \} \) and \( B = \{ \phi : T \vdas...

Theorem 2.2.11 Every injective polynomial map from \( {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) to \( {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) is surjective.

From this observation it is easy to show that the same is true for \( {\mathbb{F}}_{p}^{\text{alg }} \), the algebraic closure of the \( ...

Lemma 3.3.30 (Uniform Bounding) Let \( X \subseteq {F}^{n + 1} \) be semialgebraic. There is a natural number \( N \) such that if \( \bar{a} \in {F}^{n} \) and \( {X}_{\bar{a}} = \{ y : \left( {\bar{a}, y}\right) \in X\} \) is finite, then \( \left| {X}_{\bar{a}}\right| < N \) .
