Abstract

We establish several first- or second-order properties of models of first-order theories by considering their elements as atoms of a new universe of set theory and by extending naturally any structure of Boolean model on the atoms to the whole universe. For example, complete f-rings are “boundedly algebraically compact” in the language (+, −, ·, ∧, ∨, ≤), and the positive cone of a complete l-group with infinity adjoined is algebraically compact in the language (+, ∨, ≤). We also give an example with any first-order language. The proofs can be translated into “naive set theory” in a uniform way.
