Abstract

We introduce the notion of an NTP2-smooth measure and prove that they exist assuming NTP2. Using this, we propose a notion of distality in NTP2 that unfortunately does not intersect simple theories trivially. We then prove a finite alternation theorem for a subclass of NTP2 that contains resilient theories. In the last section we prove that under NIP, any type over a model of singular size is finitely satisfiable in a smaller model, and ask if a parallel result (with non-forking replacing finite satisfiability) holds in NTP2.
