Abstract

Let (K, ≤, cpr) be a class of models with a notion of 'strong' submodel and of canonically prime model (cpr) over an increasing chain. We show under appropriate set-theoretic hypotheses that if K is not smooth (there are incompatible models over some chains), then K has many models in certain cardinalities. On the other hand, if K is smooth, we show that in reasonable cardinalities K has a unique homogeneous-universal model. In this situation we introduce the notion of type and prove the equivalence of saturated with homogeneous-universal.
