Abstract

We characterize the ω-stable theories all of whose countable models admit decidable presentations. In particular, we show that for a countable ω-stable T, every countable model of T admits a decidable presentation if and only if all n-types in T are recursive and T has only countably many countable models. We further characterize the decidable models of ω-stable theories with countably many countable models as those which realize only recursive types.
