Categoricity in Abstract Elementary Classes with No Maximal Models
نویسنده
چکیده
The results in this paper are in a context of abstract elementary classes identified by Shelah and Villaveces in which the amalgamation property is not assumed. The long-term goal is to solve Shelah’s Categoricity Conjecture in this context. Here we tackle a problem of Shelah and Villaveces by proving that in their context, the uniqueness of limit models follows from categoricity under the assumption that the subclass of amalgamation bases is closed under unions of bounded, ≺Kincreasing chains.

متن کاملSuperstability from categoricity in abstract elementary classes
Starting from an abstract elementary class with no maximal models, Shelah and Villaveces have shown (assuming instances of diamond) that categoricity implies a superstability-like property for nonsplitting, a particular notion of independence. We generalize their result as follows: given any abstract notion of independence for Galois (orbital) types over models, we derive that the notion satisf...
متن کاملToward Categoricity for Classes with no Maximal Models
We provide here the first steps toward a Classification Theory of Abstract Elementary Classes with no maximal models, plus some mild set theoretical assumptions, when the class is categorical in some λ greater than its Löwenheim-Skolem number. We study the degree to which amalgamation may be recovered, the behaviour of non μsplitting types. Most importantly, the existence of saturated models in...
متن کاملShelah's categoricity conjecture from a successor for tame abstract elementary classes
We prove a categoricity transfer theorem for tame abstract elementary classes. Theorem 0.1. Suppose that K is a χ-tame abstract elementary class and satisfies the amalgamation and joint embedding properties and has arbitrarily large models. Let λ ≥ Max{χ,LS(K)}. If K is categorical in λ and λ, then K is categorical in λ. Combining this theorem with some results from [Sh 394], we derive a form o...
متن کاملCategoricity and Stability in Abstract Elementary Classes
Categoricity and Stability in Abstract Elementary Classes byMonica M. VanDieren This thesis tackles the classification theory of non-elementary classes from twoperspectives. In Chapter II we work towards a categoricity transfer theorem, whileChapter III focuses on the development of a stability theory for abstract elementaryclasses (AECs).The results in Chapter II are in a c...
