On strong chains of sets and functions

Publication date 20 September 2023

Abstract: Shelah has shown that there are no chains of length

o m e g a_{3}

increasing modulo finite in

^{o m e g a_{2}} o m e g a_{2}

. We improve this result to sets. That is, we show that there are no chains of length

o m e g a_{3}

in

[o m e g a_{2}]^{a l e p h_{2}}

increasing modulo finite. This contrasts with results of Koszmider who has shown that there are, consistently, chains of length

o m e g a_{2}

increasing modulo finite in

[o m e g a_{1}]^{a l e p h_{1}}

as well as in

^{o m e g a_{1}} o m e g a_{1}

. More generally, we study the depth of function spaces

^{k} a p p a m u

quotiented by the ideal

[k a p p a]^{< h e t a}

where

h e t a < k a p p a

are infinite cardinals.
