This allows us to deduce uniqueness of limit models from categoricity in a cardinal of high-enough cofinality, improving on a 16-year-old result of Shelah: $\\mathbf{Theorem}$ Suppose $\\lambda$ and $\\mu$ are cardinals so that $\\text{cf}(\\lambda)>\\mu\\geq\\text{LS}(K)$ and assume that $K$ has no maximal models and is categorical in $\\lambda$. If $M_0,M_1,M_2 \\in K_\\mu$ are such that both $M_1$ and $M_2$ are limit models over $M_0$, we have that $M_1\\cong_{M_0}M_2$. Another application of the symmetry transfer utilizes tameness (a locality property for types) and improves on the work of Will Boney and the second author: $\\mathbf{Theorem}$ Let $\\mu \\ge \\text{LS} (K)$. If $K$ is $\\mu$-superstable and $\\mu$-tame, then: * If $M_0, M_1, M_2 \\in K_\\mu$ are such that both $M_1$ and $M_2$ are limit models over $M_0$, then $M_1 \\cong_{M_0} M_2$. * For any $\\lambda > \\mu$, the union of an increasing chain of $\\lambda$-saturated models is $\\lambda$-saturated. * There exists a unique type-full good $\\mu^+$-frame with underlying class the saturated models in $K_{\\mu^+}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-08-13T15:42:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C48", "03C45", "03C52", "03C55" ], "keywords": [ "transferring symmetry downward", "limit models", "application", "symmetry transfer utilizes tameness", "saturated models" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150803252V" } } }
