Fraenkel \(\cal N22(p)\): Makowski/Wi\'sniewski/Mostowski Model | Back to this models page

Description: (Where \(p\) is aprime) Let \(A=\bigcup\{A_i: i\in\omega\}\) where The \(A_i\)'s are pairwisedisjoint and each has cardinality \(p\)

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.

45-n

If \(n\in\omega-\{0,1\}\), \(C(\infty,n)\): Every set of \(n\)-element sets has a choice function.

46-K

If \(K\) is a finite subset of \(\omega-\{0,1\}\), \(C(\infty,K)\): For every \(n\in K\), every set of \(n\)-element sets has a choice function.

88

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

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}.

308-p

If \(p\) is a prime and if \(\{G_y: y\in Y\}\) is a set of finite groups, then the weak direct product \(\prod_{y\in Y}G_y\) has a maximal \(p\)-subgroup.

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
285

Let \(E\) be a set and \(f: E\to E\), then \(f\) has a fixed point if and only if \(E\) is not the union of three mutually disjoint sets \(E_1\), \(E_2\) and \(E_3\) such that \(E_i \cap f(E_i) = \emptyset\) for \(i=1, 2, 3\).

373-n

(For \(n\in\omega\), \(n\ge 2\).) \(PC(\aleph_0,n,\infty)\): Every denumerable set of \(n\)-element sets has an infinite subset with a choice function.

Historical background: For each \(i\in \omega\), let \(g_i\)be a permutation of \(A_i\) which is a \(p\)-cycle. Let \(\cal G\) be the groupof all permutations of \(A\) which are the identity on all but a finitenumber of the \(A_i\)'s and are equal to some power of \(g_i\) on the others.Let \(S\) be the set of all finite subsets of \(A\). In this model,\roster\item 45(\(n\)) (\(C(\infty,n)\)) is true for every \(n < p\).\item 46(\(K\)) (\(C(\infty,K)\)) is true for every \(K \subset p\).Mostowski [1945]\item 88 (\(C(\infty,2)\)) is true if \(2 < p\).\item 308(\(p\))(Every group has a maximal \(p\)-subgroup) is true.Howard/Yorke [1987]\item 285 is false. (The function \(f: A \to A\) defined by \(f(a) = g_i(a)\)if \(a \in A_i\) is a counter example.) Makowski/Wi\'sniewski [1969].\item 373(\(p\)) (\(PC(\aleph_0,p,\infty)\)) is false since \(\{ A_i : i\in\omega \}\) has no partial choice function in the model.\endroster
