Description:

Form 207\((\alpha)\) implies Form 209

Content:

We prove that Form 207(\(\beta\)) implies Form 209 for any ordinal \(\beta\). (Form 207(\(\beta\)) is \(UT(\aleph_{\beta},\aleph_{\beta },\lt 2^{\aleph_{\beta}})\) and Form 209 is \((\exists\) an ordinal\(\alpha)(\forall X)\) (If \(X\) is a denumerable union of denumerable sets then \({\cal P}(X)\) cannot be partitioned into \(\aleph_{\alpha}\)non-empty sets.)) Assume Form 207\((\beta )\) is true.  Then for any set \(X\), if \(X\) is a denumerable union of  denumerable  sets, then \(|X|<2^{\aleph_{\beta }}\). Choose an ordinal \(\alpha\) so that \(\neg(\aleph_{\alpha }\le| {\cal P}({\cal P}(2^{\aleph_{\beta }}))| )\). For any \(X\) which is the denumerable union of denumerable sets we have \(|{\cal P}({\cal P}(X))|\le| {\cal P}({\cal P}(2^{\aleph_{\beta }}))|\). A partition of \({\cal P}(X)\)  into \(\aleph _{\alpha}\)  non-empty sets would give \(\aleph_{\alpha }\le |{\cal P}({\cal P}(X))|\).

Similarly, Form 26 implies Form 209 and Form 31 implies Form 209.
