n-dependent continuous theories and hyperdefinable sets

Abstract

We define the continuous modeling property for first-order structures and show that a first-order structure has the continuous modelling property if and only if its age has the embedding Ramsey property. We use generalized indiscernible sequences in continuous logic to study and characterize $n$-dependence for continuous theories and first-order hyperdefinable sets in terms of the collapse of indiscernible sequences.
