Abstract:

We use model-theoretic forcing to show:

Theorem
Let K be an abstract elementary class categorical in unboundedly many cardinals. Then there exists a cardinal λ such that whenever M, N in K have size at least λ, M ≤ N if and only if M \preceq_{L_{∞, LS(K)^+}} N. This fixes a gap in Shelah's proof of the following result:

Theorem
Let K be an abstract elementary class categorical in unboundedly many cardinals. Then the class of λ such that:
1) K is categorical in λ;
2) K has amalgamation in λ; and
3) there is a good λ-frame with underlying class K_λ is stationary.
