Lightning Strikes: M & K

Indie-dance duo Matt & Kim have wasted no time in the new year: They kicked off a national tour alongside Passion Pit last month, played the legendary Madison Square Garden and saw their fourth studiorelease, Lightning, make it on “must” lists from Entertainment Weekly and Complex magazines—and for good reason. From the determined “Not That Bad” to the danceready single “Let’s Go,” Lightning, produced in their Brooklyn bedroom, follows in true Matt & Kim fashion with giddy beats and playful lyrics. A departure from Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino’s widely-successful 2010 release Sidewalks, “I Wonder” offers new arrangements and tests ideas borrowed from hip-hop and pop chart-toppers. We caught up with Matt to discuss the new album, the art of not-perfect music and streaking through Times Square

Transitivity, lowness, and ranks in NSOP1_1 theories

We develop the theory of Kim-independence in the context of NSOP$_{1}$ theories satsifying the existence axiom. We show that, in such theories, Kim-independence is transitive and that \ind^{K}-Morley sequences witness Kim-dividing. As applications, we show that, under the assumption of existence, in a low NSOP$_{1}$ theory, Shelah strong types and Lascar strong types coincide and, additionally, we introduce a notion of rank for NSOP$_{1}$ theories
