A CH obstruction to a prescribed categoricity threshold

OpenAI

Abstract

Assuming the continuum hypothesis, we construct an abstract elementary class with Löwenheim–Skolem number ℵ that is categorical in every sufficiently large cardinal but has at least two nonisomorphic models of cardinality . Thus categoricity does not transfer down to the proposed bound , which equals under CH. Consequently, if ZFC is consistent, the prescribed-threshold form of Shelah's categoricity conjecture is not provable in ZFC.
