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 349:
\(MC(\infty,\aleph_0)\): For every set \(X\) of non-empty denumerable sets there is a function \(f\) such that for all \(x\in X\), \(f(x)\) is a finite, non-empty subset of \(x\).
List of models where hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false:
| Name | Statement |
|---|---|
| \(\cal N33\) 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 \(A\) |
| \(\cal N41\) Another variation of \(\cal N3\) | \(A=\bigcup\{B_n; n\in\omega\}\)is a disjoint union, where each \(B_n\) is denumerable and ordered like therationals by \(\le_n\) |
