Extract

A denumerable structure is said to be recursive iff its universe is a recursive subset of the natural numbers and its relations and operations are recursive. For example, the standard model of number theory is recursive. A structure is said to be recursively presentable iff it is isomorphic to a recursive structure. For example, a Boolean algebra generated by ℵ0 free generators is easily seen to be recursively presentable. (For basic facts concerning Boolean algebras, the reader is referred to R. Sikorski [9] and A. Tarski and A. Mostowski [10].)
