Abstract
We define the interpolative fusion [Formula: see text] of a family [Formula: see text] of first-order theories over a common reduct [Formula: see text], a notion that generalizes many examples of random or generic structures in the model-theoretic literature. When each [Formula: see text] is model-complete, [Formula: see text] coincides with the model companion of [Formula: see text]. By obtaining sufficient conditions for the existence of [Formula: see text], we develop new tools to show that theories of interest have model companions.
