Abstract
In first order logic, it is known that you can define a topology so that the countable models of some theory form a Polish Space (i.e. completely metrizable second countable space). In this paper we use the Baldwin- Boney Relational Presentation Theorem (from [3]; cf. 2.3) to generalize this result to the models of an Abstract Elementary Class (AEC). More specifically, we define a topology on the models of an AEC of size , where is the Lwenheim-Skolem number and has to satisfy a set-theoretic assumption (see Section 4) and prove that these models form a Generalized Polish Space (i.e. a generalization of Polish Spaces i.e. completely -metrizable space with weight ).
