Abstract
The notion of linear ordering is one of the fundamental concepts in mathematics. Linear orderings play an important role in algebra, topology, set theory and model theory. The present paper surveys contributions to the meta-theory and model theory of linear orderings. The framework for the considered problems is defined by logics L extending first order logic and satisfying reasonable model theoretic properties. The investigation is based on logics L(Q α ) with cardinality quantifiers Q α , logics L(Q m α ) with Malitz quantifiers Q m α , m > 1, and stationary logic L(aa). The paper is mainly concerned with the decision problem of linear orderings and the problem of weak classification by constructing subclasses of linear orderings that are in the topological sense dense with respect to the considered theories.
