Abstract
Let be an abstract elementary class (AEC) with amalgamation and no maximal models. Let . If is categorical in , then the model of cardinality is Galois-saturated. This answers a question asked independently by Baldwin and Shelah. We deduce several corollaries: has a unique limit model in each cardinal below , (when is big-enough) is weakly tame below , and the thresholds of several existing categoricity transfers can be improved. We also prove a downward transfer of solvability (a version of superstability introduced by Shelah): Let be an AEC with amalgamation and no maximal models. Let . If is solvable in , then is solvable in .
