Abstract

It is shown that the first-order theory ThR(A) of a countable module over an arbitrary countable ring R is 0-categorical if and only if Ai finite, nω, κiω. Furthermore, ThR(A) is 0-categorical for all R-modules A if and only if R is finite and there exist only finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable R-modules.
