Categoricity and amalgamation for AEC and $ \kappa $ measurable

Logic 2024-03-05 v3

Abstract

In the original version of this paper, we assume a theory TT that the logic Lκ,0\mathbb L_{\kappa, \aleph_{0}} is categorical in a cardinal λ>κ\lambda > \kappa, and κ\kappa is a measurable cardinal. There we prove that the class of model of TT of cardinality <λ<\lambda (but T+κ\geq |T|+\kappa) has the amalgamation property; this is a step toward understanding the character of such classes of models. In this revised version we replaced the class of models of TT by k\mathfrak k, an AEC (abstract elementary class) which has LS-number <κ,{<} \, \kappa, or at least which behave nicely for ultrapowers by DD, a normal ultra-filter on κ\kappa. Presently sub-section \S1A deals with TLκ+,0T \subseteq \mathbb L_{\kappa^{+}, \aleph_{0}} (and so does a large part of the introduction and little in the rest of \S1), but otherwise, all is done in the context of AEC.

Comments

We now use the framework of AECs rather than models of a fixed theory
