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.
