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, increasing chains.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-10-26T21:39:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "maximal models", "shelahs categoricity conjecture", "amalgamation property", "villaveces", "long-term goal" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math.....10579V" } } }
