Let be an admissible structure. A cPCd(
) class is the class of all models of a sentence of the form
, where
is an
-r.e. set of relation symbols and Φ is an
-r.e. set of formulas of ℒ∞,ω that are in
. The main theorem is a generalization of the following: Let
be a pure countable resolvable admissible structure such that
is not Σ-elementarily embedded in HYP(
). Then a class K of countable structures whose universes are sets of urelements is a cPCd(
) class if and only if for some Σ formula σ (with parameters from
),
is in K if and only if
is a countable structure with universe a set of urelements and
σ, where
, the smallest admissible set above
relative to
, is a generalization of HYP to structures with similarity type Σ over
that is defined in this article. Here we just note that when Lα is admissible, HYPLα(
) is Lβ(
) for the least β ≥ α such that Lβ(
) is admissible, and so, in particular, that
is just HYP(
) in the usual sense when
has a finite similarity type.
The definition of is most naturally formulated using Adamson's notion of a +-admissible structure (1978). We prove a generalization from admissible to +-admissible structures of the well-known truncation lemma. That generalization is a key theorem applied in the proof of the generalized Spector-Gandy theorem.
