Let K be an Abstract Elemenetary Class satisfying the amalgamation and the joint embedding property, let \mu be the Hanf number of K. Suppose K is tame. MAIN COROLLARY: (ZFC) If K is categorical in a successor cardinal bigger than…
We provide a proof, in $ZFC$, of Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture for abstract elementary classes (AEC's). Moreover, assuming in addition the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis ($SCH$), we prove a direct generalization to the more…
We provide a short proof of Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture, assuming the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis ($GCH$), for abstract elementary classes (AEC's) with interpolation, a strengthening of amalgamation which is a necessary…
We prove: $\mathbf{Theorem}$ Let $K$ be a universal class. If $K$ is categorical in cardinals of arbitrarily high cofinality, then $K$ is categorical on a tail of cardinals. The proof stems from ideas of Adi Jarden and Will Boney, and also…
We prove that a universal class categorical in a high-enough cardinal is categorical on a tail of cardinals. As opposed to other results in the literature, we work in ZFC, do not require the categoricity cardinal to be a successor, do not…
A new case of Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture is established: $\mathbf{Theorem}$ Let $K$ be an AEC with amalgamation. Write $H_2 := \beth_{\left(2^{\beth_{\left(2^{\text{LS} (K)}\right)^+}}\right)^+}$. Assume that $K$ is…
We use orthogonality calculus to prove a downward transfer from categoricity in a successor in abstract elementary classes (AECs) that have a good frame (a forking-like notion for types of singletons) on an interval of cardinals:…
In the original version of this paper, we assume a theory $T$ that the logic $\mathbb L_{\kappa, \aleph_{0}}$ is categorical in a cardinal $\lambda > \kappa$, and $\kappa$ is a measurable cardinal. There we prove that the class of model of…
We initiate a systematic investigation of the abstract elementary classes that have amalgamation, satisfy tameness (a locality property for orbital types), and are stable (in terms of the number of orbital types) in some cardinal. Assuming…
We provide comprehensive, level-by-level characterizations of large cardinals, in the range from weakly compact to strongly compact, by closure properties of powerful images of accessible functors. In the process, we show that these…
The assumption that an AEC is tame is a powerful assumption permitting development of stability theory for AECs with the amalgamation property. Lately several upward categoricity theorems were discovered where tameness replaces strong…
Let K be an abstract elementary classes which has arbitrarily large models and satisfies the amalgamation and joint embedding properties. Theorem 1. Suppose K is \chi-tame. If K is categorical in some \lambda^+ >LS(K) then it is categorical…
In this paper, we prove that if $\kappa$ is a almost strongly compact cardinal, then any MAEC with L\"owenheim-Skolem number below $\kappa$ is $<\kappa$-d-tame.
We show that various tameness assertions about abstract elementary classes imply the existence of large cardinals under mild cardinal arithmetic assumptions.
We study uniqueness of limit models in abstract elementary classes (AECs) with no maximal models. We prove (assuming instances of diamonds) that categoricity in a cardinal of the form $\mu^{+(n + 1)}$ implies the uniqueness of limit models…
We prove that successors of singular limits of strongly compact cardinals have the strong tree property. We also prove that aleph_{omega+1} can consistently satisfy the strong tree property.
We prove the following continuous analogue of Vaught's Two-Cardinal Theorem: if for some $\kappa>\lambda\geq \aleph_0$, a continuous theory $T$ has a model with density character $\kappa$ which has a definable subset of density character…
We show, assuming a mild set-theoretic hypothesis, that if an abstract elementary class (AEC) has a superstable-like forking notion for models of cardinality $\lambda$ and a superstable-like forking notion for models of cardinality…
We provide a complete classification of all the possible categoricity spectra, in terms of internal size, that can appear in a large accessible category with directed colimits, assuming the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis ($SCH$), and…
For an abstract elementary class $\mathbf{K}$ and a cardinal $\lambda \geq LS(\mathbf{K})$, we prove under mild cardinal arithmetic assumptions, categoricity in two succesive cardinals, almost stability for $\lambda^+$-minimal types and…
