Sep 2, 2019 at 17:04 comment added user350168 Thanks Ramiro! Yes, that reference was very useful!
Aug 30, 2019 at 13:41 comment added Ramiro de la Vega If it helps at all (e.g. to find literature), $G_\delta$ subsets of compact Hausdorff spaces are sometimes called Čech-complete spaces. Also, these spaces are characterized by having a complete sequence of open covers (i.e a sequence $\{\mathcal{U}_n\}_{n \in \omega}$ of open covers of the space such that any filter on the space that intersects them all has an accumulation point).
Aug 26, 2019 at 15:08 comment added Emil Jeřábek Maybe I should also state the obvious: all subspaces of $S(A)$ are Hausdorff and zero-dimensional (hence $T_{3\frac12}$).
Aug 26, 2019 at 9:26 comment added Emil Jeřábek Also, the description in the comment doesn’t work out. Assuming you mean countable intersections and unions (otherwise it doesn’t make sense at all), if the complement of $\mathcal F$ is a countable union of countable intersections of open sets, that only makes $\mathcal F$ an $F_{\sigma\delta}$ set (i.e, $\Pi_3$ in the Borel hierarchy), not $G_\delta$.
Aug 26, 2019 at 8:40 comment added Emil Jeřábek I don’t know what topological properties you are interested in, but as a trivial observation, since $S(A)$ is compact Hausdorff, its $G_\delta$ subspaces are Baire spaces. If moreover $S(A)$ is second-countable (i.e., when $A$ and the underlying first-order language are countable), then its $G_\delta$ subspaces are completely metrizable (i.e., Polish spaces).
Aug 26, 2019 at 2:13 comment added user350168 Ok, my apologies for the ambiguity. I meant first order types, i.e. complete consistent sets of formulas over some set of parameters $A$ in some model $M$ of a first order theory $T$.

Aug 25, 2019 at 9:50 comment added Andrej Bauer "Types" as in type theory, or "types" as in homotopy theory, or "types" as in a programming language? The word "type" has many meanings, I think you should explain your terminology or provide a reference. What is a "type over $A$"?
Aug 25, 2019 at 4:00 comment added user350168 The problem is that I don't know precisely what I am looking for. More precisely, I know that $S^{*}(A) \backslash \mathcal{F}$ can be expressed as a union of sets $C_{\phi}$ where $C_{\phi}$ is the intersection of open sets. I am trying to characterize the set of types $\mathcal{F}$ in a different way, so it will be useful to know if there is some level of weak compactness that one could use. Or which topological properties does the $G_{\delta}$ set ($\mathcal{F}$) preserves from the old space.
Aug 25, 2019 at 3:07 comment added Nik Weaver Good, thank you. It could also help in parts 1 and 3 if you gave some idea of what you're looking for, or an example of the kind of answer you would want ... otherwise these questions are too open-ended.
Aug 25, 2019 at 2:21 comment added user350168 thanks, I just edited the question

Aug 24, 2019 at 22:46 comment added Nik Weaver The notation $S(A)$ could mean anything. If you don't explain your notation no one will be able to answer.
