Abstract

Let be a universal class with categorical in a regular with arbitrarily large models, and let be the class of all for which there is such that. We prove that is totally categorical (i.e., ξ‐categorical for all ) and for. This result is partially stronger and partially weaker than a related result due to Vasey. In addition to small differences in our categoricity transfer results, we provide a shorter and simpler proof. In the end we prove the main theorem of this paper: the models of are essentially vector spaces (or trivial, i.e., disintegrated).
