Torsion-Free Abelian Groups are Consistently a 12-complete
Abstract
Let TFAG be the theory of torsion-free abelian groups. We show that if there is no countable transitive model of ZFC- + (ω) exists, then TFAG is a 12-complete; in particular, this is consistent with ZFC. We define the α-ary Schr\"oder- Bernstein property, and show that TFAG fails the α-ary Schr\"oder-Bernstein property for every α < (ω). We leave open whether or not TFAG can have the (ω)-ary Schr\"oder-Bernstein property; if it did, then it would not be a 12-complete, and hence not Borel complete.
