Theorem 16.9 (Ryll-Nardsewski / Engeler / Svenonius 59). Assuming that:

  • L countable

  • T is a complete L-theory with infinite models

Then the following are equivalent:
  • (i) T is ℵ0-categorical.
  • (ii) For all n≥1, every type in Sn(T) is isolated.
  • (iii) For all n≥1, Sn(T) is finite.
  • (iv) For all n≥1, the number of L-formulas with x1,…,xn free variables is finite, modulo T.
