Fraenkel \(\cal N52\): Felgner/Truss Model | Back to this models page
Description: Let \((\cal B,\prec)\) be a countableuniversal homogeneous linearly ordered Boolean algebra, (i.e., \(<\) is alinear ordering extending the Boolean partial ordering on \(B\))
When the book was first being written, only the following form classes were known to be true in this model:
Form Howard-Rubin Number | Statement |
---|---|
6 | \(UT(\aleph_0,\aleph_0,\aleph_0,\Bbb R)\): The union of a denumerable family of denumerable subsets of \({\Bbb R}\) is denumerable. |
37 | Lebesgue measure is countably additive. |
49 | Order Extension Principle: Every partial ordering can be extended to a linear ordering. Tarski [1924], p 78. |
91 | \(PW\): The power set of a well ordered set can be well ordered. |
130 | \({\cal P}(\Bbb R)\) is well orderable. |
191 | \(SVC\): There is a set \(S\) such that for every set \(a\), there is an ordinal \(\alpha\) and a function from \(S\times\alpha\) onto \(a\). |
305 | There are \(2^{\aleph_0}\) Vitali equivalence classes. (Vitali equivalence classes are equivalence classes of the real numbers under the relation \(x\equiv y\leftrightarrow(\exists q\in{\Bbb Q})(x-y=q)\).). \ac{Kanovei} \cite{1991}. |
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 \(1\le i\le r\). |
313 | \(\Bbb Z\) (the set of integers under addition) is amenable. (\(G\) is {\it amenable} if there is a finitely additive measure \(\mu\) on \(\cal P(G)\) such that \(\mu(G) = 1\) and \(\forall A\subseteq G, \forall g\in G\), \(\mu(gA)=\mu(A)\).) |
361 | In \(\Bbb R\), the union of a denumerable number of analytic sets is analytic. G. Moore [1982], pp 181 and 325. |
363 | There are exactly \(2^{\aleph_0}\) Borel sets in \(\Bbb R\). G. Moore [1982], p 325. |
When the book was first being written, only the following form classes were known to be false in this model:
Form Howard-Rubin Number | Statement |
---|---|
14 | BPI: Every Boolean algebra has a prime ideal. |
15 | \(KW(\infty,\infty)\) (KW), The Kinna-Wagner Selection Principle: For every set \(M\) there is a function \(f\) such that for all \(A\in M\), if \(|A|>1\) then \(\emptyset\neq f(A)\subsetneq A\). (See Form 81(\(n\)). |
51 | Cofinality Principle: Every linear ordering has a cofinal sub well ordering. Sierpi\'nski [1918], p 117. |
99 | Rado's Selection Lemma: Let \(\{K(\lambda): \lambda \in\Lambda\}\) be a family of finite subsets (of \(X\)) and suppose for each finite \(S\subseteq\Lambda\) there is a function \(\gamma(S): S \rightarrow X\) such that \((\forall\lambda\in S)(\gamma(S)(\lambda)\in K(\lambda))\). Then there is an \(f: \Lambda\rightarrow X\) such that for every finite \(S\subseteq\Lambda\) there is a finite \(T\) such that \(S\subseteq T\subseteq\Lambda\) and such that \(f\) and \(\gamma (T)\) agree on S. |
118 | Every linearly orderable topological space is normal. Birkhoff [1967], p 241. |
192 | \(EP\) sets: For every set \(A\) there is a projective set \(X\) and a function from \(X\) onto \(A\). |
253 | \L o\'s' Theorem: If \(M=\langle A,R_j\rangle_{j\in J}\) is a relational system, \(X\) any set and \({\cal F}\) an ultrafilter in \({\cal P}(X)\), then \(M\) and \(M^{X}/{\cal F}\) are elementarily equivalent. |
Historical background: Let \(A =\{a_x: x\in\cal B\}\); let \(\cal G\) be the group of all permutations on \(A\)which preserve the structure (a linearly ordered Boolean algebra); and let\(S\) be the set of finite subsets of \(A\). It is shown in Felgner/Truss [1999] that \(A\) has no prime ideal soForm 14 is false. It is alsoshown that every partial ordering can be extended to a linear ordering soform 49 is true.
