Abstract

We prove a version of the strong Taylor's conjecture for stable graphs: if G is a stable graph whose chromatic number is strictly greater than \beth2(ℵ0) then G contains all finite subgraphs of Shn(ω) and thus has elementary extensions of unbounded chromatic number. This completes the picture from our previous work. The main new model theoretic ingredient is a generalization of the classical construction of Ehrenfeucht-Mostowski models to an infinitary setting, giving a new characterization of stability.
