Cohen \(\cal M43\): Pincus' Model V | Back to this models page

Description: This is the model of Pincus [1977a], Theorem 2.1 \((A)\)

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
43

\(DC(\omega)\) (DC), Principle of Dependent Choices: If \(S\)  is  a relation on a non-empty set \(A\) and \((\forall x\in A) (\exists y\in A)(x S y)\)  then there is a sequence \(a(0), a(1), a(2), \ldots\) of elements of \(A\) such that \((\forall n\in\omega)(a(n)\mathrel S a(n+1))\).  See Tarski [1948], p 96, Levy [1964], p. 136.

62

\(C(\infty,< \aleph_{0})\):  Every set of non-empty finite  sets  has  a choice function.

214

\(Z(\omega)\): For every family \(A\) of infinite sets, there is a function \(f\) such that for all \(y\in A\), \(f(y)\) is a non-empty subset of \(y\) and \(|f(y)|=\aleph_{0}\).

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
30

Ordering Principle: Every set can be linearly ordered.

67

\(MC(\infty,\infty)\) \((MC)\), The Axiom of Multiple Choice: For every set \(M\) of non-empty sets there is a function \(f\) such that \((\forall x\in M)(\emptyset\neq f(x)\subseteq x\) and \(f(x)\) is finite).

91

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

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.

133  

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

151

\(UT(WO,\aleph_{0},WO)\) (\(U_{\aleph_{1}}\)): The union of a well ordered set of denumerable sets is well  orderable. (If \(\kappa\) is a well ordered cardinal, see note 27 for \(UT(WO,\kappa,WO)\).)

163

Every non-well-orderable set has an infinite, Dedekind finite subset.

328

\(MC(WO,\infty)\): For  every well ordered set \(X\) such that for all \(x\in X\), \(|x|\ge 1\), there is a function \(f\) such that and for every \(x\in X\), \(f(x)\) is a finite, non-empty subset of \(x\). (See Form 67.)

329

\(MC(\infty,WO)\): For  every set \(M\) of well orderable sets such that for all \(x\in X\), \(|x|\ge 1\), there is a function \(f\) such that for every \(x\in X\), \(f(x)\) is a finite, non-empty subset of \(x\).  (See Form 67.)

Historical background: (A). It uses Pincus' general method foradding dependent choice (43). Beginning with a model \(\cal M\) of ZF +``The class form of choice'', Pincus adds three generic \(\omega_1\)sequences: \(\langle I_\alpha:\alpha<\omega_1\rangle\), \(\langleA_\alpha:\alpha< \omega_1\rangle\) and \(\langle\frak A_\alpha:\alpha<\omega_1\rangle\). The sets \(I_\alpha\), \(\alpha < \omega_1\) areobtained as in \(\cal M1(\langle\omega_1\rangle)\), \(A_\alpha\) is a genericset of disjoint subsets of \(I_\alpha\) and \(\frak A_\alpha\) is agenerically added universal homogeneous structure for the theory offinite choice operators with domain \(A_\alpha\). (See Pincus [1977a] for definitions.) In Pincus [1977a], it is shownthat in \(\cal M43\) Dependent Choice (43) is true, \(C(\infty,<\aleph_0)\)(62) is true, ``For every collection \(A\) of sets each of which hascardinality at least \(\aleph_0\), there is a function \(f\) with domain \(A\)such that \(\forall x\in A\), \(f(x)\subseteq x\) and \(|f(x)| = \aleph_0\).''(214) is true but the Ordering Principle (30) is false.
