Abstract
A complete first order theory of a relational signature is called monomorphic iff all its models are monomorphic (i.e. have all the -element substructures isomorphic, for each positive integer ). We show that a complete theory having infinite models is monomorphic iff it has a countable monomorphic model and confirm the Vaught conjecture for monomorphic theories. More precisely, we prove that if is a complete monomorphic theory having infinite models, then the number of its non-isomorphic countable models, , is either equal to or to . In addition, iff some countable model of is simply definable by an -categorical linear order on its domain.
