Interpolation and model theoretic forcing – some new perspectives.

(A lecture in Cantor Meets Robinson – Set theory, model theory and their philosophy. University of Campinas, Brazil, December 2018.)

Model Theoretic Forcing has been interweaved with interpolation theorems in infinitary logic since the early work of Mostowski, Vaught, Harnik and others. I will present some of these historical connections and their effect on Shelah’s much more recent logic . In particular I will focus on some connections between model theoretic forcing and the model theory of abstract elementary classes.
