We introduce and study simple and supersimple independence relations in the context of AECs with a monster model. $Theorem$: Let $K$ be an AEC with a monster model. - If $K$ has a simple independence relation, then $K$ does not have the…

Our main result (Theorem 1) suggests a possible dividing line ($\mu$-superstable $+$ $\mu$-symmetric) for abstract elementary classes without using extra set-theoretic assumptions or tameness. This theorem illuminates the structural side of…

We study the notions generic stability, regularity, homogeneous pregeometries, quasiminimality, and their mutual relations, in an arbitrary first order theory T. We prove that "infinite-dimensional homogeneous pregeometries" coincide with…

The categoricity spectrum of a class of structures is the collection of cardinals in which the class has a single model up to isomorphism. Assuming that cardinal exponentiation is injective (a weakening of the generalized continuum…

We exhibit an equivalence between the model-theoretic framework of universal classes and the category-theoretic framework of locally multipresentable categories. We similarly give an equivalence between abstract elementary classes (AECs)…

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 show that various tameness assertions about abstract elementary classes imply the existence of large cardinals under mild cardinal arithmetic assumptions.

We show that the category of abstract elementary classes (AECs) and concrete functors is closed under constructions of "limit type," which generalizes the approach of Mariano, Zambrano and Villaveces away from the syntactically oriented…

Let K be an abstract elementary class satisfying the joint embedding and the amalgamation properties. Let m be a cardinal above the the L\"owenheim-Skolem number of the class. Suppose K satisfies the disjoint amalgamation property for limit…

We introduce the framework of AECats (abstract elementary categories), generalising both the category of models of some first-order theory and the category of subsets of models. Any AEC and any compact abstract theory ("cat", as introduced…

We show that a number of results on abstract elementary classes (AECs) hold in accessible categories with concrete directed colimits. In particular, we prove a generalization of a recent result of Boney on tameness under a large cardinal…

We study the robustness of the steady states of a class of systems of autonomous ordinary differential equations (ODEs), having as a central example those arising from (bio)chemical reaction networks. More precisely, we study under what…

We give a syntactic characterization of abstract elementary classes (AECs) closed under intersections using a new logic with a quantifier for isomorphism types that we call structural logic: we prove that AECs with intersections correspond…

For an $\aleph_1$-categorical atomic class, we clarify the space of types over the unique model of size $\aleph_1$. Using these results, we prove that if such a class has a model of size $\beth_1^+$ then it is $\omega$-stable.

We study limit models in the abstract elementary class of modules with embeddings as algebraic objects. We characterize parametrized noetherian rings using the degree of injectivity of certain limit models. We show that the number of limit…

We construct an abstract elementary class $K_1$ of torsion-free abelian groups such that $K_1$ is not $(<\aleph_0)$-tame but is $\aleph_0$-tame. This answers a question of [BoVa17]. Furthermore, for every regular uncountable cardinal $\mu$…

We develop some basic results about full amalgamation classes with intrinsic trascendentals. These classes have generics whose models may have finite subsets whose intrinsic closure is not contained in its algebraic closure. We will show…

We show that $\beth_{(2^{\operatorname{LS}({\bf K})})^+}$ is the lower bound to the Hanf numbers for the length of the order property and for stability in stable abstract elementary classes (AECs). Our examples satisfy the joint embedding…

We obtain a characterization of left perfect rings via superstability of the class of flat left modules with pure embeddings. $\mathbf{Theorem.}$ For a ring $R$ the following are equivalent. - $R$ is left perfect. - The class of flat left…

We construct a locally profinite set of cardinality $\aleph_{\omega}$ with infinitely many first cohomology classes of which any distinct finite product does not vanish. Building on this, we construct the first example of a nondescendable…
