Abstract:

We prove a strong conceptual completeness theorem (in the sense of Makkai) for the infinitary logic $\mathcal {L}_{\omega _1\omega }$: every countable $\mathcal {L}_{\omega _1\omega }$-theory can be canonically recovered from its standard Borel groupoid of countable models, up to a suitable syntactical notion of equivalence. This implies that given two theories $(\mathcal {L}, \mathcal {T})$ and $(\mathcal {L}’, \mathcal {T}’)$ (in possibly different languages $\mathcal {L}, \mathcal {L}’$), every Borel functor $\text {Mod}(\mathcal {L}’, \mathcal {T}’) \to \text {Mod}(\mathcal {L}, \mathcal {T})$ between the respective groupoids of countable models is Borel naturally isomorphic to the functor induced by some $\mathcal {L}’_{\omega _1\omega }$-interpretation of $\mathcal {T}$ in $\mathcal {T}’$. This generalizes a recent result of Harrison-Trainor, Miller, and Montalbán in the $\aleph _0$-categorical case.
