A first-order perspective on finite groups

John S. Wilson (Cambridge and Leipzig)

Abstract: The finite axiomatizability of classes of finite groups, and the definability of naturally occurring subgroups, have attracted considerable attention. In this talk, some of the results, positive and definite, will be discussed, and it will be shown that the strikingly different behaviour of certain properties seems to be reflected in (non-first-order) studies of these properties.
