Much of model theory of arithmetic can be seen as results about structures of the form (M,omega), where M is a nonstandard model of PA and omega is its standard cut. Our joint work in [1] resulted from an attempt to develop a more systematic study arithmetic in the language with the standardness predicate.

In the talk, I will give a survey of results and I will outline some proofs.
