Goncharov and Peretyat’kin independently gave necessary and su cient conditions for when a set of types of a complete theory T is the type spectrum of some homogeneous model of T . Their result can be stated as a principle of second order arithmetic, which we call the Homogeneous Model Theorem (HMT), and analyzed from the points of view of computability theory and reverse mathematics. Previous computability theoretic results by Lange suggested a close connection between HMT and the Atomic Model Theorem (AMT), which states that every complete atomic theory has an atomic model. We show that HMT and AMT are indeed equivalent in the sense of reverse mathematics, as well as in a strong computability theoretic sense. We do the same for an analogous result of Peretyat’kin giving necessary and su cient conditions for when a set of types is the type spectrum of some model. Along the way, we analyze a number of related principles. Some of these turn out to fall into well-known reverse mathematical classes, such as ACA0, I⌃2, and B⌃2. Others, however, exhibit complex interactions with first order induction and bounding principles. In particular, we isolate several principles that are provable from I⌃2, are (more than) arithmetically conservative over RCA0, and imply I⌃ 0 2 over B⌃2. In an attempt to capture the combinatorics of this class of principles, we introduce the principle ⇧1GA, as well as its generalization ⇧ 0 n GA, which is conservative over RCA0 and equivalent to I⌃0 n+1 over B⌃ 0 n+1.
