Abstract: | We study the first cardinalκ satisfying a partition relation defined on the set of finite sequences of smaller ordinals. We show that the fact that this
cardinal is ℵω is equiconsistent with the existence of a measurable cardinal. Under GCH, this cardinal must be inaccessible if it has uncountable
cofinality. It is shown that the GCH assumption is necessary here. |
