Fraenkel \(\cal N53\): Good/Tree/Watson Model I | Back to this models page

Description: Let \(A=\bigcup \{Q_n:\ n\in\omega\}\), where \(Q_n=\{a_{n,q}:q\in \Bbb{Q}\}\)

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.

9

Finite \(\Leftrightarrow\) Dedekind finite: \(W_{\aleph_{0}}\) Jech [1973b]: \(E(I,IV)\) Howard/Yorke [1989]): Every Dedekind finite set is finite.

37

Lebesgue measure is countably additive.

63

\(SPI\): Weak ultrafilter principle: Every infinite set has a non-trivial ultrafilter.
Jech [1973b], p 172 prob 8.5.

91

\(PW\):  The power set of a well ordered set can be well ordered.

130

\({\cal P}(\Bbb R)\) is well orderable.

273

There is a subset of \({\Bbb R}\) which is not Borel.

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
88

  \(C(\infty ,2)\):  Every family of pairs has a choice function.

133  

Every set is either well orderable or has an infinite amorphous subset.

192

\(EP\) sets: For every set \(A\) there is a projective set \(X\) and a function from \(X\) onto \(A\).

232

Every metric space \((X,d)\) has a \(\sigma\)-point finite base.

337

\(C(WO\), uniformly linearly ordered):  If \(X\) is a well ordered collection of non-empty sets and there is a function \(f\) defined on \(X\) such that for every \(x\in X\), \(f(x)\) is a linear ordering of \(x\), then there is a choice function for \(X\).

344

If \((E_i)_{i\in I}\) is a family of non-empty sets, then there is a family \((U_i)_{i\in I}\) such that \(\forall i\in I\), \(U_i\) is an ultrafilter on \(E_i\).

382

DUMN:  The disjoint union of metrizable spaces is normal.

Historical background: Suppose \(<\) is thelexicographic ordering on \(A\), i.e. \(\)a_{n,q}Good/Tree/Watson [1996] that \((A,d)\) is alinearly ordered, zero dimensional, metric space, but is not paracompact(MP, form [232 H] is false). Each \(Q_n\), being a second countable metricspace, is paracompact, and the disjoint union topology on \(A\) coincidesWith the metric topology which is normal. Hence, \(A\) can be considered asa normal non paracompact disjoint union of paracompact spaces. Thus, DUP([67 N]) is false. It is shown in Howard\slash Keremedis\slashRubin\slash Rubin [1998b] that MM ([232 H]), DUMN (382), and\(C(\infty,2)\) (88) are each false, but every infinite set does have acountably infinite subset soForm 9 is true. It is shown inHoward\slash Keremedis\slash Rubin\slash Stanley\slash Tachtsis [1999] thatForm 337 (\(C(WO,\hbox{uniformly linearly ordered})\)) isfalse in this model.
