Hypothesis: HR 309:
The Banach-Tarski Paradox: There are three finite partitions \(\{P_1,\ldots\), \(P_n\}\), \(\{Q_1,\ldots,Q_r\}\) and \(\{S_1,\ldots,S_n, T_1,\ldots,T_r\}\) of \(B^3 = \{x\in {\Bbb R}^3 : |x| \le 1\}\) such that \(P_i\) is congruent to \(S_i\) for \(1\le i\le n\) and \(Q_i\) is congruent to \(T_i\) for \(1\le i\le r\).
Conclusion: HR 217:
Every infinite partially ordered set has either an infinite chain or an infinite antichain.
List of models where hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false:
| Name | Statement |
|---|---|
| \(\cal N2\) The Second Fraenkel Model | The set of atoms \(A=\{a_i : i\in\omega\}\) is partitioned into two element sets \(B =\{\{a_{2i},a_{2i+1}\} : i\in\omega\}\). \(\mathcal G \) is the group of all permutations of \( A \) that leave \( B \) pointwise fixed and \( S \) is the set of all finite subsets of \( A \). |
| \(\cal N34\) Pincus' Model X | For each \(q\in\Bbb Q\), let \(C_q=\{a_q,b_q\}\), a pair of atoms and let \(A=\bigcup_{q\in\Bbb Q}C_q\) |
