A (large) superstable homogeneous structure is said to be simple if every complete type over any set A has a free extension over any B ⊇ A . In this paper we give a characterization for this property in terms of U ‐rank. As a corollary we get that if the structure has finite U ‐rank, then it is simple. (© 2003 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
