Hypothesis: HR 9:
Finite \(\Leftrightarrow\) Dedekind finite: \(W_{\aleph_{0}}\) Jech [1973b]: \(E(I,IV)\) Howard/Yorke [1989]): Every Dedekind finite set is finite.
Conclusion: HR 3: \(2m = m\): For all infinite cardinals \(m\), \(2m = m\).
List of models where hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false:
| Name | Statement |
|---|---|
| \(\cal M29\) Pincus' Model II | Pincus constructs a generic extension \(M[I]\) of a model \(M\) of \(ZF +\) class choice \(+ GCH\) in which \(I=\bigcup_{n\in\omega}I_n\), \(I_{-1}=2\) and \(I_{n+1}\) is a denumerable set of independent functions from \(\omega\) onto \(I_n\) |
| \(\cal N2(\aleph_{\alpha})\) Jech's Model | This is an extension of \(\cal N2\) in which \(A=\{a_{\gamma} : \gamma\in\omega_{\alpha}\}\); \(B\) is the corresponding set of \(\aleph_{\alpha}\) pairs of elements of \(A\); \(\cal G\)is the group of all permutations on \(A\) that leave \(B\) point-wise fixed;and \(S\) is the set of all subsets of \(A\) of cardinality less than\(\aleph_{\alpha}\) |
| \(\cal N12(\aleph_1)\) A variation of Fraenkel's model, \(\cal N1\) | Thecardinality of \(A\) is \(\aleph_1\), \(\cal G\) is the group of allpermutations on \(A\), and \(S\) is the set of all countable subsets of \(A\).In \(\cal N12(\aleph_1)\), every Dedekind finite set is finite (9 is true),but the \(2m=m\) principle (3) is false |
| \(\cal N12(\aleph_{\alpha})\) A generalization of \(\cal N12(\aleph_1)\).Replace ``\(\aleph_1\)'' by ``\(\aleph_{\alpha}\)'' where \(\aleph_{\alpha}\) isa singular cardinal | Thus, \(|A|=\aleph_{\alpha}\); \(\cal G\) is the groupof all permutations on \(A\); and \(S\) is the set of all subsets of \(A\) withcardinality less than \(\aleph_{\alpha}\) |
| \(\cal N15\) Brunner/Howard Model I | \(A=\{a_{i,\alpha}: i\in\omega\wedge\alpha\in\omega_1\}\) |
| \(\cal N33\) Howard/H\.Rubin/J\.Rubin Model | \(A\) is countably infinite;\(\precsim\) is a dense linear ordering on \(A\) without first or lastelements (\((A,\precsim) \cong (\Bbb Q,\le)\)); \(\cal G\) is the group of allorder automorphisms on \((A,\precsim)\); and \(S\) is the set of all boundedsubsets of \(A\) |
| \(\cal N38\) Howard/Rubin Model I | Let \((A,\le)\) be an ordered set of atomswhich is order isomorphic to \({\Bbb Q}^\omega\), the set of all functionsfrom \(\omega\) into \(\Bbb Q\) ordered by the lexicographic ordering |
| \(\cal N40\) Howard/Rubin Model II | A variation of \(\cal N38\) |
| \(\cal N49\) De la Cruz/Di Prisco Model | Let \(A = \{ a(i,p) : i\in\omega\land p\in {\Bbb Q}/{\Bbb Z} \}\) |
| \(\cal N56\) Howard's model III: Assume the the atoms are indexed asfollows: \(A = \{a(i,j) : i\in{\Bbb Q} \hbox{ and } j\in\omega \}\) | Foreach \(i\in \Bbb Q\), let \(A_i = \{a(i,j) : j\in \omega\}\) |
