Abstract

Let be the class of structures 〈λ, <, A〉, where Aλ is disjoint from a club, and let be the class of structures 〈λ, <, A), where Aλ contains a club. We prove that if λ = λ<κ is regular, then no sentence of Lλ + κ separates and On the other hand, we prove that if λ = μ+ , μ = μ<μ, and a forcing axiom holds (and if μ = ℵ0), then there is a sentence of Lλλ which separates and .
