Abstract
Suppose t = (T; T1; p) is a triple of two countable theories T ⊈ T1 in vocabularies ⊤ ⊂ ⊤1 and ⊤1-type p over the empty set. We show that the Hanf number for the property 'there is a model M1 of T1 which omits p, but M1⌈⊤ is saturated' is essentially equal to the Löwenheim number of second order logic. In Section 4 we make exact computations of these Hanf numbers and note some distinctions between 'first order' and 'second order quantification'. In particular, we show that if κ is uncountable, then h3(Lε, ε (Q); κ) = h 3(Lω1 ω1 κ), where h3 is the 'normal' notion of Hanf function (Definition 4.12).
