Hypothesis: HR 118:
Every linearly orderable topological space is normal. Birkhoff [1967], p 241.
Conclusion: HR 17:
Ramsey's Theorem I: If \(A\) is an infinite set and the family of all 2 element subsets of \(A\) is partitioned into 2 sets \(X\) and \(Y\), then there is an infinite subset \(B\subseteq A\) such that all 2 element subsets of \(B\) belong to \(X\) or all 2 element subsets of \(B\) belong to \(Y\). (Also, see Form 325.), Jech [1973b], p 164 prob 11.20.
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 |
| \(\cal N2\) 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, \(T_i = \{a_i, b_i,c_i\}\) |
| \(\cal N6\) 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 \(\cal N2\) |
| \(\cal N50(E)\) 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 \(p^n\) |
