Abstract

It is consistent with ¬ CH that every universal theory of relational structures with the joint embedding property and amalgamation for -(3)-diagrams has a universal model of cardinality ℵ1. For classes with amalgamation for -(4)-diagrams it is consistent that and there is a universal model of cardinality ℵ2.
