The number of ergodic models of an infinitary sentence
Given an $L_{\omega_1\omega}$-sentence $\varphi$ in a countable language, we call an ergodic $S_\infty$-invariant probability measure on the Borel space of countable models of $\varphi$ (having fixed underlying set) an ergodic model of $\varphi$. I will discuss the number of ergodic models of such a sentence $\varphi$, including the case when $\varphi$ is a Scott sentence. This is joint work with N. Ackerman, C. Freer, A. Kruckman and A. Kwiatkowska.
