Abstract:

Let $T$ be a countable complete theory having Skolem functions. We prove that if all the types over finitely generated models are definable (this is the case for example if $T$ is stable), then either $T$ has ${2^{{\aleph _0}}}$ countable models or all its models are homogeneous. The proof makes heavy use of stability techniques.
