Abstract
We point out a gap in Shelah's proof of the following result: Let be an abstract elementary class categorical in unboundedly many cardinals. Then there exists a cardinal such that whenever have size at least , if and only if . The importance of the claim lies in the following theorem, implicit in Shelah's work: Assume the claim. Let be an abstract elementary class categorical in unboundedly many cardinals. Then the class of such that: 1) is categorical in ; 2) has amalgamation in ; and 3) there is a good -frame with underlying class is stationary. We give a proof and discuss some related questions.
