Dushnik-Miller for regular cardinals (part 2)

In this post, we shall provide a proof of Todorcevic’s theorem, that b=ω1 implies ω1(ω1,ω+2)2. This will show that the Erdos-Rado theorem that we discussed in an earlier post, is consistently optimal. Our exposition of Todorcevic’s theorem would be … Continue reading

Transforming rectangles into squares, with applications to strong colorings

Abstract: It is proved that every singular cardinal  λ admits a function rts:[λ+]2[λ+]2 that transforms rectangles into squares. That is, whenever A,B are cofinal subsets of λ+, we have rts[AB]CC, for some cofinal subset Cλ+. As a … Continue reading
