Abstract

We study amalgamation properties in a family of abstract elementary classes that we call coloring classes. The family includes the examples previously studied in [3]. We establish that the amalgamation property is equivalent to the disjoint amalgamation property in all coloring classes; find the Hanf number for the amalgamation property for coloring classes; and improve the results of [3] by showing, in ZFC, that the (disjoint) amalgamation property for classes Kα studied in that paper must hold up to α (only a consistency result was previously known).
