This week, Henry Towsner continued some model-theoretic preliminaries for the reading seminar of the Hrushovski paper, particularly regarding the behaviour of wide types, leading up to the main model-theoretic theorem (Theorem 3.4 of Hrushovski) which in turn implies the various combinatorial applications (such as Corollary 1.2 of Hrushovski). Henry’s notes can be found here.
A key theme here is the phenomenon that any pair of large sets contained inside a definable set of finite measure (such as ) must intersect if they are sufficiently “generic”; the notion of a wide type is designed, in part, to capture this notion of genericity.
