Fraenkel \(\cal N54\): Good/Tree/Watson Model II | Back to this models page

Description: This model is a variation of \(\cal N 53\)

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.

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
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(\(n\)).  

173

\(MPL\): Metric spaces are para-Lindelöf.

192

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

Historical background: The set of atoms \(A=\bigcup \{Q_n:\ n\in \omega\}\), where\(Q_n=\{a_{n,q}:q\in \Bbb{R}\}\). We let \(<\) be the lexicographic orderingon \(A\). The group of permutations \(\cal G\), is the group of allpermutations on \(A\) which are a translation on \(Q_n\), that is, if \(\phi\in \cal G\), then \(\phi|Q_n(a_{n,q})=a_{n,q+r_n}\) for some \(r_n\in\Bbb R\).Supports are finite. Let \(d\) be the metric on \(A\) given by:\(\)d(a_{n,q},a_{m,p})= 1\hbox{ if } n\ne m\(\) and\(\)d(a_{n,q},a_{m,p})= |q-p|/(1+|q-p|) \hbox{ if }n=m.\(\)It is shown in Howard/Keremedis/Rubin/Stanley [1999] that \((A,d)\) is a metric space that is not meta-Lindel\"of (173 is false).
