Let σ := (R), where R is a binary relation symbol. Write down a σ-theory T whose models are exactly the equivalence relations with infinitely many classes.  More precisely, for each σ-structure M := (M, RM), M ⊨ T if and only if RM is an equivalence relation on M with infinitely many equivalence classes. No proof needed but please explain the answer.

Let σ := (R), where R is a binary relation symbol. Write down a σ-theory T whose models are exactly the equivalence relations with infinitely many classes. 

More precisely, for each σ-structure M := (M, RM), M ⊨ T if and only if RM is an equivalence relation on M with infinitely many equivalence classes. No proof needed but please explain the answer.
