Hypothesis: HR 87-alpha:
\(DC(\aleph_{\alpha})\): Given a relation \(R\) such that for every subset \(Y\) of a set \(X\) with \(|Y|<\aleph_{\alpha}\), there is an \(x\in X\) with \(Y\mathrel R x\) then there is a function \(f:\aleph_{\alpha}\to X\) such that (\(\forall\beta < \aleph_{\alpha}\)) \(\{f(\gamma): \gamma < \beta\}\mathrel R f(\beta)\).
Conclusion: HR 192:
\(EP\) sets: For every set \(A\) there is a projective set \(X\) and a function from \(X\) onto \(A\).
List of models where hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false:
| Name | Statement |
|---|---|
| \(\cal N2(\aleph_{\alpha})\) 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\(\aleph_{\alpha}\) |
| \(\cal N12(\aleph_{\alpha})\) 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 \(\aleph_{\alpha}\) |
