Models of an Abstract Elementary Class as a Generalized Polish Space

Abstract

In first order logic, it is known that you can define a topology so that the countable models of some theory $T$ form a Polish Space (i.e. completely metrizable second countable space). In this paper we use the Baldwin- Boney Relational Presentation Theorem (from [3]; cf. 2.3) to generalize this result to the models of an Abstract Elementary Class (AEC). More specifically, we define a topology on the models of an AEC of size $\lambda \geq \kappa$, where $\kappa$ is the L$\ddot{o}$wenheim-Skolem number and $\lambda$ has to satisfy a set-theoretic assumption (see Section 4) and prove that these models form a Generalized Polish Space (i.e. a generalization of Polish Spaces i.e. completely $G$-metrizable space with weight $\leq \kappa$).
