We prove for example that a universal $\\mathbb{L}_{\\omega_1, \\omega}$ sentence categorical on an end segment of cardinals below $\\beth_\\omega$ must be categorical also everywhere above $\\beth_\\omega$. This is done without any additional model-theoretic hypotheses (such as amalgamation or arbitrarily large models) and generalizes to the much broader framework of tame AECs with weak amalgamation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-23T19:26:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C48", "03C45", "03C52", "03C55", "03C75" ], "keywords": [ "successive cardinals", "categoricity", "abstract elementary classes", "additional model-theoretic hypotheses", "weak amalgamation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
