Hypothesis: HR 317:
Weak Sikorski Theorem: If \(B\) is a complete, well orderable Boolean algebra and \(f\) is a homomorphism of the Boolean algebra \(A'\) into \(B\) where \(A'\) is a subalgebra of the Boolean algebra \(A\), then \(f\) can be extended to a homomorphism of \(A\) into \(B\).
Conclusion: HR 118:
Every linearly orderable topological space is normal. Birkhoff [1967], p 241.
List of models where hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false:
| Name | Statement |
|---|---|
| \(\cal N3\) Mostowski's Linearly Ordered 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 finitesubsets of \(A\) |
| \(\cal N19(\precsim)\) Tsukada's Model | Let \((P,\precsim)\) be a partiallyordered set that is not well ordered; Let \(Q\) be a countably infinite set,disjoint from \(P\); and let \(I=P\cup Q\) |
| \(\cal N29\) Dawson/Howard Model | Let \(A=\bigcup\{B_n; n\in\omega\}\) is a disjoint union, where each \(B_n\) is denumerable and ordered like the rationals by \(\le_n\) |
| \(\cal N38\) Howard/Rubin Model I | Let \((A,\le)\) be an ordered set of atomswhich is order isomorphic to \({\Bbb Q}^\omega\), the set of all functionsfrom \(\omega\) into \(\Bbb Q\) ordered by the lexicographic ordering |
| \(\cal N40\) Howard/Rubin Model II | A variation of \(\cal N38\) |
| \(\cal N48\) Pincus' Model XI | \(\cal A=(A,<,C_0,C_1,\dots)\) is called an<em>ordered colored set</em> (OC set) if \(<\) is a linear ordering on \(A\)and the \(C_i\), for \(i\in\omega\) are subsets of \(A\) such that for each\(a\in A\) there is exactly one \(n\in\omega\) such that \(a\in C_n\) |
