Ultrapower theorem: reference request

98 Views Asked by At

The ultrapower theorem states that every two elementary equivalent models have isomorphic ultrapowers (Shelah, Israel Journal of Mathematics, 1971, Vol. 10).

Are there other proofs than Shelah's?

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, since their proof is essentially the same as Shelah's, but you may enjoy reading the discussion in Chang & Keisler's Model Theory, section 6.1. They show first how to prove the theorem using GCH, then how to prove a stronger version of the theorem also assuming GCH, and then how to prove Shelah's result. Keisler's result is also discussed in Bell & Slomson's Models and Ultraproducts, section 7.2.
