Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture for abstract elementary classes
Theorem 1.2: for every infinite cardinal λ there is μ(λ)≥λ such that every AEC K with LS(K)≤λ categorical in some κ≥μ(λ) is categorical in every κ′≥μ(λ); equivalently (Theorem 1.3) an AEC categorical in unboundedly many cardinals is categorical on a tail. It applies to Lω1,ω sentences in countable languages. It gives no explicit value for μ(λ); the prescribed ℶω1 threshold for Lω1,ω and the Hanf threshold for AECs are left separate (the companion refutes the latter under CH).
