Extract

The basic setting of nonstandard analysis consists of a set-theoretical structure together with a map * from into another structure * of the same sort. The function * is taken to be an elementary embedding (in an appropriate sense) and is generally assumed to make * into an enlargement of [13]. The structures and * may be type-hierarchies as in [11] and [13] or they may be cumulative structures with ω levels as in [14]. The assumption that * is an enlargement of has been found to be the weakest hypothesis which allows for the familiar applications of nonstandard analysis in calculus, elementary topology, etc. Indeed, practice has shown that a smooth and useful theory can be achieved only by assuming also that * has some stronger properties such as the saturation properties first introduced in nonstandard analysis by Luxemburg [11].

This paper concerns an entirely new family of properties, stronger than the saturation properties. For each cardinal number κ, * satisfies the κ-isomorphism property (as an enlargement of ) if the following condition holds:

For each first order language L with fewer than κ nonlogical symbols, if and are elementarily equivalent structures for L whose domains, relations and functions are all internal (relative to * and ), then and are isomorphic.
