We prove that if is a model of size at most [kappa], λ[kappa] = λ, and a game sentence of length 2λ is true in a 2λ-saturated model ≡ , then player has a winning strategy for a related game in some ultrapower ΠD of . The moves in the new game are taken in the cartesian power λA, and the ultrafilter D over λ must be chosen after the game is played. By taking advantage of the expressive power of (...) game sentences, we obtain several applications showing the existence of ultrapowers with certain properties. In each case, it was previously known that such ultrapowers exist under the assumption of the GCH, and we get them without the GCH. Article O. (shrink)

An L-structure is called internally presented in a nonstandard universe if its base set and interpretation of every symbol in L are internal. A nonstandard universe is said to satisfy the κ-isomorphism property if for any two internally presented L-structures U and B, where L has less than κ many symbols, U is elementarily equivalent to B implies that U is isomorphic to B. In this paper we prove that the ℵ1-isomorphism property is equivalent to the ℵ0-isomorphism property plus ℵ1-saturation.
