Extract

In [3], Todorčević showed that ω1 ⇸ [ω1]ω12. In this paper we use similar methods to prove an analogous partition theorem for Pω1(λ), for certain uncountable cardinals λ.

Recall that ω1 → [ω1]ω12, means that for every function f: [ω1]2ω1 there is a set A ∈ [ω1]ω1 such that f“[A]2ω1, and of course ω1 ⇸ [ω1]ω12, is the negation of this statement. For partition relations on Pω1() it is customary to partition only those pairs of sets in which the first set is a subset of the second. Thus for APω1(λ) we define

We will write Pω1(λ) → [unbdd]λ2 to mean that for every function f: [Pω1(λ)]2λ there is an unbounded set APω1(λ) such that f“[A]2λ, and again Pω1(λ) ⇸ [unbdd]λ2 is the negation of this statement.
