Fraenkel \(\cal N16\): Jech/Levy/Pincus Model | Back to this models page

Description: \(A\) has cardinality \(\aleph_{\omega}\);\(\cal G\) is the group of all permutations on \(A\); and \(S\) is the set ofall subsets of \(A\) of cardinality less that \(\aleph_{\omega}\)

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.

41

\(W_{\aleph _{1}}\): For every cardinal \(m\), \(m \le \aleph_{1}\) or \(\aleph_{1}\le m \).

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.

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 \(a\).

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.

368

The set of all denumerable subsets of \(\Bbb R\) has power \(2^{\aleph_0}\).

369

If \(\Bbb R\) is partitioned into two sets, at least one of them has cardinality \(2^{\aleph_0}\).

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
8

\(C(\aleph_{0},\infty)\):

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(\(n\)).  

106

Baire Category Theorem for Compact Hausdorff Spaces: Every compact Hausdorff space is Baire.

133  

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

Historical background: In thismodel, every infinite set has a countably infinite subset (9 is true), butnot every set of denumerable sets has a choice function (8 is false).Also, in \(\cal N16\), for every cardinal \(\kappa < \aleph_{\omega}\) everycardinal is comparable to \(\kappa\) (41 is true), but there are cardinalsthat are not comparable to \(\aleph_{\omega}\). Form 41 implies that thereare no amorphous sets (64 is true), but 64 implies that 133 (Every set iseither well orderable or has an infinite amorphous subset.) is false.Since 70 (There is a non-trivial ultrafilter on \(\omega\).) is true inevery FM model and 9 + 70 implies 63 (Every infinite set has a non-trivialultrafilter.), 63 is also true.
