About
We consider the following question: given a complete first-order theory T, when is it the case that any two elementarily bi-embeddable models of T are isomorphic? We call this the Schroder-Bernstein property, and we prove that if a countable theory T has this property then it must be classifiable (superstable, with NDOP and NOTOP) and nonmultidimensional. We also verify some special cases of our conjecture that a weakly minimal group G has the Schroder-Bernstein property if and only if every elementary automorphism of G/G° is unipotent, including the case when the lanugage of the structure G is simply {+}.
