Abstract.
Djordjević [Dj 1] proved that under natural technical assumptions, if a complete L n-theory is stable and has amalgamation over sets, then it has arbitrarily large finite models. We extend his study and prove the existence of arbitrarily large finite models for classes of models of L n-theories (maybe omitting types) under weaker amalgamation properties. In particular our analysis covers the case of vector spaces.
