Weak Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé games
2011
Transactions of the American Mathematical Society
Thus the difference between this and the ordinary Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé game is that the isomorphism can be arbitrary, whereas in the ordinary EF-game it is determined by the moves of the players. ...
In this paper we define a game which is played between two players I and II and two mathematical structures A and B. ...
Fraïssé introduced back-and-forth systems and what we call the Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé games. ...

Games and elementary equivalence of II1-factors
2015
Pacific Journal of Mathematics
We use Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé games to give a local geometric criterion for elementary equivalence of II_1 factors. ...
We obtain as a corollary that two II_1 factors are elementarily equivalent if and only their unitary groups are elementarily equivalent as Z_4-metric spaces. ...
Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé games have long been a tool in model theory for establishing that structures are elementarily equivalent. ...

We strengthen non-structure theorems for almost free Abelian groups by studying long Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse games between a fixed group of cardinality lambda and a free Abelian group. ...
A group is called epsilon-game-free if the isomorphism player has a winning strategy in the game (of the described form) of length epsilon in lambda. ...
For an ordinal ǫ, a group G is called ǫ-game-free, if the "isomorphism player" has a winning strategy in the Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé game of length ǫ between G and a free Abelian group (countable many elements ...

An Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse Game Approach to Collapse Results in Database Theory

We present a new Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse game approach to collapse results in database theory and we show that, in principle, this approach suffices to prove every natural generic collapse result. ...
This, as a side product, also leads to an Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse game proof of the theorem of Ginsburg and Spanier, stating that the spectra of FO(<,+)-sentences are semi-linear. ...
