This theorem is the uncountable categoricity theorem for a categorical theory. If a countable first-order theory is categorical in one uncountable cardinal, then it is categorical in every uncountable cardinal.

A complete theory is categorical theory in the infinite cardinal , or -categorical, when it has a model of cardinality and any two of its models of cardinality are isomorphic. Equivalently, has exactly one model of cardinality up to isomorphism.

A model of cardinality is determined up to isomorphism by the unordered pair of cardinalities of its two equivalence classes. At cardinality , both infinite classes must be countable, so there is one isomorphism type. Thus is categorical theory in .
