Abstract

We prove a categoricity transfer theorem for tame abstract elementary classes.

Suppose that K is a χ-tame abstract elementary class and satisfies the amalgamation and joint embedding properties and has arbitrarily large models. Let λ ≥ Max{χ, LS(K+}. If K is categorical in λ and λ+, then K is categorical in λ++.

Combining this theorem with some results from [37]. we derive a form of Shelah's Categoricity Conjecture for tame abstract elementary classes:

Suppose K is χ-tame abstract elementary class satisfying the amalgamation and joint embedding properties. Let μ0 ≔ Hanf(K). Ifand K is categorical in somethen K is categorical in μ for all μ .
