comment Number of automorphisms of saturated models
@tomasz Makes sense, I'll try thinking about this approach. Two questions, perhaps related: why is saturation needed? How could you get such a long indiscernible sequence? (I'm not too familiar with indiscernibles, but I remember something called the Standard Lema?)

comment Classification of models
Oh, and I get why arbitrary types turn out to not be so complicated. But my previous comment stands. Even after showing $T$ is model complete, what does that have to do with saturation?

comment Classification of models
@AlexKruckman I don't see why they are saturated. In $\mathfrak{A}_0$, there is no element that realizes (the type generated by) the formula $P_1(x)$, since $P_1$ is empty.

I'm a little confused. Why are you saying "All four" of these models are saturated?

comment Nullstellensatz equivalence question
I.e. (1)$\implies (2)$ is vacuously true, as (2) is always true.

comment Nullstellensatz equivalence question
@xyzzyz The statement we officially have as the Nullstellensatz is: Let $F$ be an alg. closed field. If $I$ is an ideal of $F[\vec x]$, and $g\in F[\vec x]$ is s.t. g ∈ I(V(I)), then there is an $n\in \mathbb{Z}^+$ s.t. $g^n\in I$. Regardless of this, though... as you point out, my proof shows that statement (2) in my original question is true, independently of the truth of the Nullstellensatz, right?

comment Can a strictly increasing bounded function have a sequence that diverges?
@robjohn Yes, but maybe he meant a sequence which doesn't converge, but not necessarily goes to $\infty$. That's why I said we should have cleared up what he meant by "diverges" in the title of the question. Not that it really matters too much now, anyway.

comment Can a strictly increasing bounded function have a sequence that diverges?
Perhaps the OP meant to say Is there a sequence $(x_n)$ of real numbers such that $f(x_n)\to\infty$? Then there are some subtleties to the meaning of diverges, and whether he means that or that really $f(x_n)\to\infty$.
