On the categoricity of complete second order theories

We show, assuming PD, that every complete finitely axiomatized second order theory with a countable model is categorical, but that there is, assuming again PD, a complete recursively axiomatized second order theory with a countable model which is non-categorical. We show that the existence of even very large (e.g. supercompact) …
