Abstract

We continue our study of finitary abstract elementary classes, defined in [7]. In this paper, we prove a categoricity transfer theorem for a case of simple finitary AECs. We introduce the concepts of weak κ-categoricity and f-primary models to the framework of ℵ0-stable simple finitary AECs with the extension property, whereby we gain the following theorem: Let () be a simple finitary AEC, weakly categorical in some uncountable κ. Then () is weakly categorical in each λ ≥ min. If the class () is also -tame, weak κ-categoricity is equivalent with κ-categoricity in the usual sense.

We also discuss the relation between finitary AECs and some other non-elementary frameworks and give several examples.
