Uniqueness of limit models of different lengths in abstract elementary classes

About 21 years old · traced to

Let K⁡\operatorname{\mathcal{K}} be an abstract elementary class, let Hanf⁡(K⁡)\operatorname{Hanf}(\operatorname{\mathcal{K}}) and LS(K⁡)LS(\operatorname{\mathcal{K}}) denote its Hanf and Löwenheim–Skolem numbers, and let a (μ,σ)(\mu,\sigma)-limit over MM be a limit model of cardinality μ\mu and length σ\sigma. Uniqueness conjecture for limit models. Suppose that K⁡\operatorname{\mathcal{K}} is categorical in some λ≥Hanf⁡(K⁡)\lambda\geq\operatorname{Hanf}(\operatorname{\mathcal{K}}) and LS(K⁡)≤μ<λLS(\operatorname{\mathcal{K}})\leq\mu<\lambda. If σ1\sigma_1 and σ2\sigma_2 are limit ordinals less than μ+\mu^+ and M1M_1 and M2M_2 are respectively (μ,σ1)(\mu,\sigma_1)- and (μ,σ2)(\mu,\sigma_2)-limits over MM, then M1M_1 is isomorphic to M2M_2 over MM. The source presents this as a challenging uniqueness question and does not state that it has been resolved.
