Infinitary stability theory
Abstract
We introduce a new device in the study of abstract elementary classes (AECs): Galois Morleyization, which consists in expanding the models of the class with a relation for every Galois type of length less than a fixed cardinal . We show: (The semantic-syntactic correspondence) An AEC is fully -tame and type short if and only if Galois types are syntactic in the Galois Morleyization. This exhibits a correspondence between AECs and the syntactic framework of stability theory inside a model. We use the correspondence to make progress on the stability theory of tame and type short AECs. The main theorems are: Let be a -tame AEC with amalgamation. The following are equivalent: * is Galois stable in some . * does not have the order property (defined in terms of Galois types). * There exist cardinals and with such that is Galois stable in any with . Let be a fully -tame and type short AEC with amalgamation, . If is Galois stable, then the class of -Galois saturated models of admits an independence notion (-coheir) which, except perhaps for extension, has the properties of forking in a first-order stable theory.
