We propose the notion of a quasiminimal abstract elementary class (AEC). This is an AEC satisfying four semantic conditions: countable L\"owenheim-Skolem-Tarski number, existence of a prime model, closure under intersections, and uniqueness…

We study multidimensional diagrams in independent amalgamation in the framework of abstract elementary classes (AECs). We use them to prove the eventual categoricity conjecture for AECs, assuming a large cardinal axiom. More precisely, we…

We introduce a family of rank functions and related notions of total transcendence for Galois types in abstract elementary classes. We focus, in particular, on abstract elementary classes satisfying the condition know as tameness (currently…

We study when a union of saturated models is saturated in the framework of tame abstract elementary classes (AECs) with amalgamation. We prove: $\mathbf{Theorem}$ If $K$ is a tame AEC with amalgamation satisfying a natural definition of…

We prove: Main Theorem: Let $\mathcal{K}$ be an abstract elementary class satisfying the joint embedding and the amalgamation properties with no maximal models of cardinality $\mu$. Let $\mu$ be a cardinal above the the L\"owenheim-Skolem…

It is an open problem of Mazari-Armida whether every abstract elementary class of $R$-modules $(\mathbf{K}, \leq_{\mathrm{pure}})$, with $\leq_{\mathrm{pure}}$ the pure submodule relation, is stable. We answer this question in the negative…

For a fixed natural number $n \geq 1$, the Hart-Shelah example is an abstract elementary class (AEC) with amalgamation that is categorical exactly in the infinite cardinals less than or equal to $\aleph_n$. We investigate recently-isolated…

We construct a class $\hat{K}$ of torsion-free abelian groups such that $\hat{\mathbf{K}}=(\hat{K}, \leq_p)$ is an abstract elementary class with $\operatorname{LS}(\hat{\mathbf{K}})=\aleph_0$ such that: $(\cdot)$ $\hat{\mathbf{K}}$ is not…

Let K be an Abstract Elementary Class. Under the asusmptions that K has a nicely behaved forking-like notion, regular types and existence of some prime models we establish a decomposition theorem for such classes. The decomposition implies…

We prove that any tame abstract elementary class categorical in a suitable cardinal has an eventually global good frame: a forking-like notion defined on all types of single elements. This gives the first known general construction of a…

Good frames were suggested in [Sh:h] as the (bare-bones) parallel, in the context of AECs, to superstable (among elementary classes). Here we consider $(\mu,\lambda,\kappa)$-frames as candidates for being (in the context of AECs) the…

This paper is a contribution to "neo-stability" type of result for abstract elementary classes. Under certain set theoretic assumptions, we propose a definition and a characterization of NIP in AECs. The class of AECs with NIP properly…

We deal with stability theory for ``reasonable'' non-elementary classes without any remanents of compactness (like: above Hanf number or definable by L_{omega_1, omega}).

We prove in ZFC, no psi in L_{omega_1,omega}[Q] have unique model of uncountable cardinality, this confirms theBaldwin conjecture. But we analyze this in more general terms. We introduce and investigate a.e.c. and also versions of limit…

Consider an a.e.c. (abstract elementary class), that is, a class K of models with a partial order refining inclusion (submodel) which satisfy the most basic properties of an elementary class. Our test question is trying to show that the…

We investigate, in ZFC, the behavior of abstract elementary classes (AECs) categorical in many successive small cardinals. We prove for example that a universal $\mathbb{L}_{\omega_1, \omega}$ sentence categorical on an end segment of…
