• Abstract:
We continue here [Sh276] but we do not relay on it. The motivation was a conjecture of Galvin stating that 2^{\omega}\geq \omega_2 + \omega_2\to [\omega_1]^{n}_{h(n)} is consistent for a suitable h:\omega\to\omega. In section 5 we disprove this and give similar negative results. In section 3 we prove the consistency of the conjecture replacing \omega_2 by 2^\omega, which is quite large, starting with an Erdős cardinal. In section 1 we present iteration lemmas which are needed when we replace \omega by a larger \lambda and in section 4 we generalize a theorem of Halpern and Lauchli replacing \omega by a larger \lambda. 2020-10-27 Two years ago have a handwritten page elaborating the proof of 2.6(1); see file 288.1810006
