Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé Games for Continuous First-Order Logic

Åsa Hirvonen, Joni Puljujärvi · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2024

We define a version of the Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé game in the setting of metric model theory and continuous first-order logic and show that the second player having a winning strategy in a game of length $n$ exactly corresponds to being elementarily equivalent up to quantifier rank $n$. We then demonstrate the usefulness of the game with some examples. Finally, we discus connections between the game of length $ω$ and infinitary logic.
