Abstract

By using an argument based on the structure of the locally compact scattered spaces, we prove in a direct way the following result shown by Jech and Shelah: there is a family {Bα: α < ω1} of subsets of ω1 such that the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) max B α - α,

(b) if α ∈ B β then BαB β,

(c) if δ ≤ α and δ is a limit ordinal then Bα ∩ δ is not in the ideal generated by the sets Bβ, β < α, and by the bounded subsets of δ,

(d) there is a partition {An: n ∈ ω} of ω1 such that for every α and every n, B αA n is finite.

Keywords: PCF theory; locally compact scattered space

Resumen

Utilizando un argumento basado en la estructura de los espacios localmente compactos dispersos, demostramos de una manera directa el siguiente resultado de Jech y Shelah: existe una familia {Bα: α < ω1} de subconjuntos de ω1 que verifica las siguientes condiciones:

(a) max B α - α,

(b) si α ∈ B β entonces B αB β,

(c) si δ ≤ α y δ es un ordinal límite, entonces Bα ∩ δ no pertenece al ideal generado por los conjuntos Bβ, β < α, y por los subconjuntos acotados de δ,

(d) existe una partición {An: n ∈ ω} de ω1 tal que para todo α y para todo n, B α ∩ An es finito.

Palabras clave: teoría PCF; espacio localmente compacto disperso
