Suppose λ is a singular cardinal of uncountable cofinality κ. For a model M of cardinality λ, let No(M) denote the number of isomorphism types of models N of cardinality λ which are L ∞λ -equivalent to M. In [She85] Shelah considered inverse κ-systems A of abelian groups and their certain kind of quotient limits Gr(A)/Fact(A). In particular Shelah proved in [She85, Fact 3.10] that for every cardinal µ there exists an inverse κ-system A such that A consists of abelian groups having cardinality at most µ κ and card Gr(A)/Fact(A) = µ. Later in [She86, Theorem 3.3] Shelah showed a strict connection between inverse κ-systems and possible values of No (under the assumption that θ κ < λ for every θ < λ): if A is an inverse κ-system of abelian groups having cardinality < λ, then there is a model M such that card(M) = λ and No(M) = card Gr(A)/Fact(A) . The following was an immediate consequence (when θ κ < λ for every θ < λ): for every nonzero µ < λ or µ = λ κ there is a model M µ of cardinality λ with No(M µ ) = µ. In this paper we show: for every nonzero µ ≤ λ κ there is an inverse κ-system A of abelian groups having cardinality < λ such that card Gr(A)/Fact(A) = µ (under the assumptions 2 κ < λ and θ <κ < λ for all θ < λ when µ > λ), with the obvious new consequence concerning the possible value of No. Specifically, the case No(M) = λ is possible when θ κ < λ for every θ < λ. 1
