Abstract
We study a special case of a relatively categorical theory , namely when is an internal cover of . We give a structure theory for relatively categorical internal covers. After passing to and naming a parameter from the -part, they are precisely the "pure torsor covers" of , obtained simply by adjoining a new sort for a principal homogeneous space or torsor of an -definable group in , and a symbol for the action. We prove that is relatively -stable (or -stable over ) as defined in [4] iff the dual binding group has the on definable subgroups.
