Aronszajn line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Aronszajn line is a linear ordering of cardinality which contains no subset order-isomorphic to
with the usual ordering
- the reverse of
- an uncountable subset of the Real numbers with the usual ordering
Unlike Suslin lines, the existence of Aronszajn lines is provable using the standard axioms of set theory. A linear ordering is an Aronszajn line if and only if it is the lexicographical ordering of some Aronszajn tree.[1]
