Abstract: We consider union-closed set systems with infinite breadth, focusing on three particular configurations ${mathcalT}_{mmax}(E)$, ${mathcalT}_{mmin}(E)$ and ${mathcalT}_{mort}(E)$. We show that these three configurations are not isolated examples; in any given union-closed set system of infinite breadth, at least one of these three configurations will occur as a subprojection. This characterizes those union-closed set systems which have infinite breadth, and is the first general structural result for such set systems.
