Transferring Symmetry

In this paper, we apply results of \cite{Va3} and use towers to transfer symmetry from $μ^+$ down to $μ$ in superstable abstract elementary classes without using extra set-theoretic assumptions or tameness. Theorem. Suppose $\mathcal{K}$ is an abstract elementary class satisfying the amalgamation and joint embedding properties and that $\mathcal{K}$ is both $μ$- and $μ^+$-superstable. If $\mathcal{K}$ has symmetry for non-$μ^+$-splitting, then $\mathcal{K}$ has symmetry for non-$μ$-splitting. This is a new application of towers which were introduced by Shelah and Villaveces \cite{ShVi} and later used by VanDieren \cite{Va1}, \cite{Va2} and Grossberg, VanDieren, and Villaveces \cite{GVV} to prove the uniqueness of limit models.
