Banach spaces and large cardinals
Concepts, definitions, notions, and some facts concerning the Banach-Mazur game are customized to a more general setting of partial orderings. It is applied in the theory of Fraïssé limits and beyond, obtaining simple proofs of universality of certain objects and classes.
We study ℵ₀-stable theories, and prove that if T either has eni-DOP or is eni-deep, then its class of countable models is Borel complete. We introduce the notion of λ-Borel completeness and prove that such theories are λ-Borel complete. Using this, we conclude that an ℵ₀-stable theory satisfies for all cardinals λ if and only if T either has eni-DOP or is eni-deep.
For a cardinal μ we give a sufficient condition (involving ranks measuring existence of independent sets) for: if a Borel set B ⊆ ℝ × ℝ contains a μ-square (i.e. a set of the form A × A with |A| =μ) then it contains a -square and even a perfect square, and also for if has a model of cardinality μ then it has a model of cardinality continuum generated in a “nice”, “absolute” way. Assuming for transparency, those three conditions (, and ) are equivalent, and from this we deduce that...
