Introduction to stability theory and Morley rank

  • Chapter

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 1696)

Abstract

We assume knowledge of the basic definitions and results of model theory which are presented (informally) in the first chapter of this book. We use as basic example the theory of algebraically closed fields (see the chapter on algebraically closed fields [Pi1]).
