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)…
We construct a variety of inner models exhibiting features usually obtained by forcing over universes with large cardinals. For example, if there is a supercompact cardinal, then there is an inner model with a Laver indestructible…
We show that for any uncountable cardinal $\lambda$, the category of sets of cardinality at least $\lambda$ and monomorphisms between them cannot appear as the category of point of a topos, in particular is not the category of models of a…
Keisler proved that if $\theta$ is a strong limit cardinal and $\lambda$ is a singular cardinal, then the transfer relation $\theta\longrightarrow\lambda$ holds. In a previous paper, we studied initial elementary submodels of the…
We work with a pre-$\lambda$-frame, which is an abstract elementary class (AEC) endowed with a collection of basic types and a non-forking relation satisfying certain natural properties with respect to models of cardinality $\lambda$. We…
Suppose that $\lambda=\lambda^{<\lambda} \ge\aleph_0$, and we are considering a theory $T$. We give a criterion on $T$ which is sufficient for the consistent existence of $\lambda^{++}$ universal models of $T$ of size $\lambda^+$ for models…
For a cardinal lambda<lambda_{omega_1} we give a ccc forcing notion P which forces that for some Borel subset B of the Cantor space (1) there a sequence (eta_alpha:alpha<lambda) of distinct elements such that |(eta_alpha+B) cap…
Shelah showed that the existence of free subsets over internally approachable subalgebras follows from the failure of the PCF conjecture on intervals of regular cardinals. We show that a stronger property called the Approachable Bounded…
Fisher [Fis75] and Baur [Bau75] showed independently in the seventies that if $T$ is a complete first-order theory extending the theory of modules, then the class of models of $T$ with pure embeddings is stable. In [Maz4, 2.12], it is asked…
In a classical paper by Ben-David and Magidor, a model of set theory was exhibited in which $\aleph_{\omega+1}$ carries a uniform ultrafilter that is $\theta$-indecomposable for every uncountable cardinal $\theta<\aleph_\omega$. In this…
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 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 analyze the notion of guessing model, a way to assign combinatorial properties to arbitrary regular cardinals. Guessing models can be used, in combination with inaccessibility, to characterize various large cardinals axioms, ranging from…
We investigate the relationship between the Eklof-Mekler-Shelah Construction Principle for a variety of algebras $\mathbf{V}$ and the question of superstability of the free objects in $\mathbf{V}$, denoted as $\mathcal{F}_\mathbf{V}$. We…
We prove that, under suitable assumptions on a category C, the existence of supercompact cardinals implies that every absolute epireflective class of objects of C is a small-orthogonality class. More precisely, if L is a localization…
Working in the context of restricted forms of the Axiom of Choice, we consider the problem of splitting the ordinals below $\lambda$ of cofinality $\theta$ into $\lambda$ many stationary sets, where $\theta < \lambda$ are regular cardinals.…
Non-forking is one of the most important notions in modern model theory capturing the idea of a generic extension of a type (which is a far-reaching generalization of the concept of a generic point of a variety). To a countable first-order…
We continue our investigation =of Shelah's interpretability orders $\trianglelefteq^*_\kappa$ as well as the new orders $\trianglelefteq^\times_\kappa$. In particular, we give streamlined proofs of the existence of minimal unstable,…
We give a detailed and self-contained introduction to the theory of $\lambda $-toposes and prove the following: 1) A $\lambda $-separable $\lambda $-topos has enough $\lambda $-points. 2) The classifying $\lambda $-topos of a $\kappa $-site…
Let $(\mathcal{K} ,\subseteq )$ be a universal class with $LS(\mathcal{K})=\lambda$ categorical in regular $\kappa >\lambda^+$ with arbitrarily large models, and let $\mathcal{K}^*$ be the class of all $\mathcal{A}\in\mathcal{K}_{>\lambda}$…
