Hypothesis: HR 118:
Every linearly orderable topological space is normal. Birkhoff [1967], p 241.
Conclusion: HR 50:
Sikorski's Extension Theorem: Every homomorphism of a subalgebra \(B\) of a Boolean algebra \(A\) into a complete Boolean algebra \(B'\) can be extended to a homomorphism of \(A\) into \(B'\). Sikorski [1964], p. 141.
List of models where hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false:
| Name | Statement |
|---|---|
| \(\cal M1\) Cohen's original model | Add a denumerable number of generic reals (subsets of \(\omega\)), \(a_1\), \(a_2\), \(\cdots\), along with the set \(b\) containing them |
| \(\cal N1\) The Basic Fraenkel Model | The set of atoms, \(A\) is denumerable; \(\cal G\) is the group of all permutations on \(A\); and \(S\) isthe set of all finite subsets of \(A\) |
| \(\cal N2\) 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 \( A \). |
| \(\cal N2(n)\) A generalization of \(\cal N2\) | This is a generalization of\(\cal N2\) in which there is a denumerable set of \(n\) element sets for\(n\in\omega - \{0,1\}\) |
| \(\cal N2^*(3)\) Howard's variation of \(\cal N2(3)\) | \(A=\bigcup B\), where\(B\) is a set of pairwise disjoint 3 element sets, \(T_i = \{a_i, b_i,c_i\}\) |
| \(\cal N4\) The Mathias/Pincus Model I | \(A\) is countably infinite;\(\precsim\) is a universal homogeneous partial ordering on \(A\) (See<a href="/articles/Jech-1973b">Jech [1973b]</a> p 101 for definitions.); \(\cal G\) is the group ofall order automorphisms on \((A,\precsim)\); and \(S\) is the set of allfinite subsets of \(A\) |
| \(\cal N6\) Levy's Model I | \(A=\{a_n : n\in\omega\}\) and \(A = \bigcup \{P_n: n\in\omega\}\), where \(P_0 = \{a_0\}\), \(P_1 = \{a_1,a_2\}\), \(P_2 =\{a_3,a_4,a_5\}\), \(P_3 = \{a_6,a_7,a_8,a_9,a_{10}\}\), \(\cdots\); in generalfor \(n>0\), \(|P_n| = p_n\), where \(p_n\) is the \(n\)th prime |
| \(\cal N24\) Hickman's Model I | This model is a variation of \(\cal N2\) |
| \(\cal N24(n)\) An extension of \(\cal N24\) to \(n\)-element sets, \(n>1\).\(A=\bigcup B\), where \( B=\{b_i: i\in\omega\}\) is a pairwise disjoint setof \(n\)-element sets | \(\cal G\) is the group of all permutations of \(A\)which are permutations of \(B\); and \(S\) is the set of all finite subsets of\(A\) |
| \(\cal N26\) Brunner/Pincus Model, a variation of \(\cal N2\) | The set ofatoms \(A=\bigcup_{n\in\omega} P_n\), where the \(P_n\)'s are pairwisedisjoint denumerable sets; \(\cal G\) is the set of all permutations\(\sigma\) on \(A\) such that \(\sigma(P_n)=P_n\), for all \(n\in\omega\); and \(S\)is the set of all finite subsets of \(A\) |
| \(\cal N50(E)\) Brunner's Model III | \(E\) is a finite set of prime numbers.For each \(p\in E\) and \(n\in\omega\), let \(A_{p,n}\) be a set of atoms ofcardinality \(p^n\) |
| \(\cal N51\) Weglorz/Brunner Model | Let \(A\) be denumerable and \(\cal G\)be the group of all permutations of \(A\) |
