Description
This work presents the most important combinatorial ideas in partition calculus and discusses ordinary partition relations for cardinals without the assumption of the generalized continuum hypothesis. A separate section of the book describes the main partition symbols scattered in the literature. A chapter on the applications of the combinatorial methods in partition calculus includes a section on topology with Arhangel'skii's famous result that a first countable compact Hausdorff space has cardinality, at most continuum. Several sections on set mappings are included as well as an account of recent inequalities for cardinal powers that were obtained in the wake of Silver's breakthrough result saying that the continuum hypothesis can not first fail at a singular cardinal of uncountable cofinality.

03E: Set theory
Introduction
Naive set theory considers elementary properties of the union and intersection operators Venn diagrams, the DeMorgan laws, elementary counting techniques such as the inclusion-exclusion principle, partially ordered sets, and so on. This is perhaps as much of set theory as the typical mathematician uses. Indeed, one may "construct" the natural numbers, real numbers, and so on in this framework. However, situations such as Russell's paradox show that some care must be taken to define what, precisely, is a set. However, results in mathematical logic imply it is impossible to determine whether or not these axioms are consistent using only proofs expressed in this language. Assuming they are indeed consistent, there are also statements whose truth or falsity cannot be determined from them. These statements (or their negations!) can be taken as axioms for set theory as well. For example, Cohen's technique of forcing showed that the Axiom of Choice is independent of the other axioms of ZF. (That axiom states that for every collection of nonempty sets, there is a set containing one element from each set in the collection.) This axiom is equivalent to a number of other statements (e.g. Zorn's Lemma) whose assumption allows the proof of surprising even paradoxical results such as the Banach-Tarski sphere decomposition. Thus, some authors are careful to distinguish results which depend on this or other non-ZF axioms; most assume it (that is, they work in ZFC Set Theory).

The Preface beginns like this: "Ramsey's classical theorem in its simplest form, published in 1930, says that if we put the edges of an infinite graph into two classes, then there will be an infinite subgraph all edges of which belong to the same class. The partition calculus has been developed as a collection of generalizations of this theorem". The o.p.r. (ordinary partition relation) (1)

Description and aim
Organized by B. Loewe G. Plebanek J. Vaananen B. Velickovic Set theory grew out of mathematical analysis through Georg Cantor 's work on sets of uniquness of trigonometric series in the late 19 th century. Over the last century it has developed into a vibrant and important subject of its own. On one hand it deals with questions of deep foundational impotance, such as the choice of axioms for mathematics and the questions of relative consistency of mathematical theories. On the other hand, techniques of combinatorial set theory can be applied successfully in a number of different areas of mathematics such as: general topology, measure theory, Banach space theory, abstract algebra, while descriptive set theory is applied in ergodic theory, dinamical systems, group representation theory, etc.
In the early days of set theory most of the advances were made in Europe. In particular, Polish mathematicians such as Sierpinski Kuratowski Mostowski and others played a key role in the early development of the subject. Among other things, they created the journal

    SET THEORY IN KOBE
    Research
    Research in our group can be broadly described as the investigation of the combinatorial structure of the reals from the point of view of set theory. Since independence results figure prominently in this area, forcing theory plays a major role, and a good deal of our efforts goes into developing new iteration techniques for forcing. We are particularly interested in measure and category on the real line, as well as in cardinal invariants of the continuum. Our research is closely related to descriptive set theory. We also deal with applications of infinitary combinatorics and forcing theory outside of set theory proper, for example in group theory, general topology and real analysis. Current research interests include
    • proper forcing and countable support iterations
      new iteration techniques for adjoining more than aleph 2 many reals, e.g.
      • constructions with mixed support
        iterations along templates
        shattered iterations
      combinatorial properties of ideals on the real numbers
      the structure of P(omega) mod fin (gaps, mad families, etc)

Combinatorial Cardinal Characteristics of the Continuum (to appear as a chapter in the Handbook of Set Theory (ed. M. Foreman, M. Magidor, and A.

As the title indicates, I concentrate on the combinatorial characteristics; Tomek Bartoszynski has written a chapter on the category and measure characteristics. Voting Rules for Infinite Sets and Boolean Algebras PDF A voting rule in a Boolean algebra B is an upward closed subset that contains, for each element x in B, exactly one of x and -x. We study several aspects of voting rules, with special attention to their relationship with ultrafilters. In particular, we study the set-theoretic hypothesis that all voting rules in the Boolean algebra of subsets of the natural numbers modulo finite sets are nearly ultrafilters. We define the notion of support of a voting rule and use it to describe voting rules that are, in a sense, as different as possible from ultrafilters. Finally, we consider how much of the axiom of choice is needed to guarantee the existence of voting rules.

    PREFACE
    During the summer of 1999, Andras Hajnal was diagnosed with lung cancer. In order to provide Andras with a pleasant weekend in the midst of is treatment, it was decided that and international conference on Set Theory should be organized in his honour. As scheduled date of the conference drew nearer, there was some concern that it might coincide with Andras's surgery. But, in the end, the timing could not have been better. A week before, it finally became clear that Andras's treatment had been successful and the conference turned into a celebration of his complete recovery. (Only one of the participants was heard to complain that if he had known how healthy Andras was, he would not have come.)
    The conference was supported by Rutgers University through the generosity of Mark Gordon and by NSF funds administered by MAMLS. All of the papers in this volume were refereed. I would like to thank the referees for their helpful and timely reports. Thanks are also due to Martin Goldstern for his patient guidance around some of the mysteries of TeX. Finally, I would like to thank Shirley Hill and Gil Poulin for their invaluable help in producing this book.

    Problems and Theorems in Classical Set Theory
    A problem book that appeared at Springer , in 2006.
    This book contains over 1000 problems in classical set theory. The book starts with introductory topics as: set operations, cardinal operations, countable sets, sets of cardinality continuum, ordered and well ordered sets, ordinals. Next, important classical results are covered as the well ordering theorem, the definition and properties of alephs, Zorn's lemma, cofinalities, stationary sets. Along the way, we apply these techniques in proving various reasults in analysis, graph theory, algebra by using transfinite methods, the continuum hypothesis, Hamel bases, etc. Special attention is given to such tradionally Hungarian topics as infinite graphs and combinatorial set theory. Some of the highligts:
    • scattered order types, Goodstein's theorem the existence of Hausdorff gap, equivalents of CH, the Banach-Tarski paradox, Solovay's decomposition theorem Ramsey's theorem Hajnal's set mapping theorem, Galvin's tree game

    Introduction In Mathematics, a well-defined collection of definite objects is called a set. George Cantor is regarded as the "Father of Set theory". The concept of "Sets" is basic in all branches of mathematics. Basic Definitions Set: A well-defined collection of distinct objects is called a set. Notation of Sets: Capital letters are usually used to denote or represent a set. Representation of Sets: There are two methods of representing a set. (i) Roster Method (ii) Set builder form. Finite and Infinite Sets: A set is finite if it contains a specific number of elements. Otherwise, a set is an infinite set. Null Set or Empty Set or Void Set: A set with no elements is an empty set. Singleton Set or Singlets: A set consisting of a single element is called a singleton set or singlet. The cardinality of the singleton set is 1. Equivalent Sets: Two finite sets A and B are said to be equivalent sets if cardinality of both sets are equal i.e. n (A) = n (B). Equal Sets: Two sets A and B are said to be equal if and only if they contain the same elements i.e. if every element of A is in B and every element of B is in A. We denote the equality by A = B.

    Final Project Students are required to write a ten to twelve page term paper, in LaTeX, on a topic of their choice. Below is a list of suggested topics, though you may also choose your own, subject to instructor approval. In order to select a subject that you will find interesting, I suggest browsing through some of the books listed below that have been put on reserve in the library, or some of the material available online (see links below). The purpose of this project is to learn something about a topic related to the material in the course, and to write a paper explaining some of what you have learned. You are not expected to do any original research. Rather, you will need to organize and synthesize your material and present it in a way that good undergraduate student like yourself would be able to read and understand it, and learn something new and interesting. This is harder than it sounds, especially if you have never written a math paper before. Make sure to start early! As an added incentive, there is the possibility, for those who produce a particularly interesting and well-written paper, of submitting your paper, after further revision, to MIT's

    Set theory,
    naive The study of the properties of sets (cf. Set ), pre-eminently infinite, disregarding the properties of the elements in those sets. The idea of a set is one of the primitive mathematical ideas and can only be explained by means of examples. Thus, it is possible to speak of the set of people living on our planet at a given time, of the set of points of a given geometric figure and of the set of solutions of a given differential equation. A person living on the planet at the given time, a point of the given geometric figure, a solution of the given differential equation are elements of their respective sets. A set is regarded as given if a characteristic property of the elements of the set is given, that is, a property which all the elements of the set, and only they, possess. One of the fundamental ideas of set theory is that of membership of an element of a set. To denote that an object belongs to a set one writes (if does not belong to one writes or ).

    This site is a resource for research in graph theory and combinatorics. Open problems are listed along with what is known about them, updated as time permits. Individual pages contain such material as title, originator, date, statement of problem, background, partial results, comments, references. Also available is a Glossary of Terms Most pages in this directory have not yet been created; so far this is mostly a list of some well-known problems for which more detailed pages will be written later. Its accessibility at this early stage is a plea for contributed material to accelerate its development. The organization of topics roughly follows the four volumes of The Art of Combinatorics under development by D.B. West. Thus the four main headings are Extremal Graph Theory Structure of Graphs Order and Optimization , and Arrangements and Methods

    Abstract
    In previous papers (J. Combin Theory Ser. A 103 (2003) 387) and (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 105 (2004) 359) Saharon Shelah and I formulated a conditional chromatic number theorem , which described a setting in which the chromatic number of the plane takes on two different values depending upon the axioms for set theory. We also constructed examples of a distance graph on the real line R and difference graphs on the real plane R whose chromatic numbers depend upon the system of axioms we choose for set theory. Ideas developed there are extended in the present paper to construct difference graphs on the real space

    Research in Variants of Classical Set Theory and their Applications
    Classical Axiomatic Set Theory, as formalised in ZFC; i.e. Zermelo Fraenkel set theory with the Axiom of Choice, has been used, through much of this century, as the foundational theory for modern pure mathematics. This central role for ZFC is based on the fact that all the mathematical objects needed can be coded in purely set theoretical terms and their properties can be proved from the ten or so axioms of ZFC. For various reasons many other systems of set theory have been studied by logicians and others. In Manchester three kinds of variants have received particular attention. These are
    Hyperset Theory
    Generalised Set Theory
    Constructive Set Theory
    Instead of changing the non-logical axioms of axiomatic set theory so as to allow for non-well-founded sets or for non-sets of various kinds we may consider changing the logic. One possibility is to replace classical logic by intuitionistic logic. Provided that the non-logical axioms of axiomatic set theory are carefully formulated the resulting set theory has been called Intuitionistic Set Theory. Constructive Set Theory is intended to be a set theoretical approach to constructive mathematics. Intuitionistic Set Theory would seem to be too strong to be taken to be an axiomatic constructive set theory. Various much weaker subsystems seem to be more appropriate. In particular there has been a good deal of attention focused on an axiom system CZF.

    This is a group of faculty and students who are interested in combinatorial matrix theory. New members can join at the beginning of the academic year, or at the beginning of the summer for the REU session Graduate linear algebra (Math 510) is a prerequisite for graduate students; undergraduate linear algebra (Math 317 or equivalent) is a prerequisite for the summer REU undergraduates and a course in graph theory is helpful. Graduate students in the group may register for 1 credit/semester of Math 690E during the academic year. Faculty at nearby colleges and universities are also welcome. At the beginning of the session we begin by discussing the necessary background, such as the use of graphs and digraphs to study matrices and the use of matrices to study (di)graphs, and review recent developments. We then select a problem and begin active research. This is a great opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students to become involved in research. Past groups wrote papers on matrix completion problems and minimum rank of symmetric tree sign patterns. For more information contact

    Discrete Mathematics: Past, Present and Future
    This short article contains a brief list of the main topics studied in Discrete Mathematics, as well as some (inevitably biased) thoughts about the future direction and challenges in the area.
    The originators of the basic concepts of Discrete Mathematics, the mathematics of finite structures, were the Hindus, who knew the formulae for the number of permutations of a set of n elements, and for the number of subsets of cardinality k in a set of n elements already in the sixth century. The beginning of Combinatorics as we know it today started with the work of Pascal and De Moivre in the 17th century, and continued in the 18th century with the seminal ideas of Euler in Graph Theory, with his work on partitions and their enumeration, and with his interest in latin squares. These old results are among the roots of the study of formal methods of enumeration, the development of configurations and designs, and the extensive work on Graph Theory in the last two centuries. The tight connection between Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science , and the rapid development of the latter in recent years, led to an increased interest in Combinatorial techniques and to an impressive development of the subject. It also stimulated the study and development of algorithmic combinatorics and combinatorial optimization.

    The mechanism of imperfect information is used in mathematical languages in various connections, some of them pointed out in Hintikka 1996b . One of the cases where IF logic contributes to mathematical reasoning is the notion of uniform differentiability. One can replace a standard existential quantifier with an independent one, because in the formulation of uniform differentiability a point of the derivation has to be assumed independent of another one. This can be expressed in IF logic with the aid of the quantifier string x y x z . However, Tennant criticises this example and claims that the same result can be achieved in the language of ordinary first-order set theory, defining as a function R R , followed by the string of quantifiers x y z Tennant's paragnosia here stems from the inability to perceive the general situation, however. For sometimes IF quantifiers can be in the guise of choice functions. In the example given in Tennant 1998 , the function depends only on the tolerance parameter ; it does not need x as its argument. Therefore, this example as it is described can be expressed in IF logic, but not in the linear first-order logic, vindicating the original argument in

    Abstract:
    Judah has asked me to speak on the future of set theory, so as the next millennium is coming, to speak on set theory in the next millennium. But we soon cut this down to set theory in the next century. Later on I thought I had better cut it down to dealing with the next decade, but I suspect I will speak on what I hope to try to prove next year, or worse - what I have done in the last year (or twenty). It seems I am not particularly suitable for such a lecture, as I have repeatedly preferred to try to prove another theorem than to prepare the lecture (or article); so why did I agree at all to such a doubtful endeavor? Well, under the hypothesis that I had some moral obligation to help Haim in the conference (and the proceedings) and you should not let a friend down, had I been given the choice to help with organizing the dormitories, writing a lengthy well written expository paper or risking making fool of myself in such a lecture, I definitely prefer the latter.

    Foundations of Combinatorial Game Theory
    In this page, I describe a basic nomenclature for finitary combinatorial games. Notice that the games are played on a board with pieces, everything already existing. While the model-construction games like those of Wilfred Hodges' BUILDING MODELS WITH GAMES could be included with this nomenclature, I won't go into that here.
    The Definition
    A Combinatorial Game is a tuple (G, :-, E, A, W, L, 0), where:
    • G is the set of positions and is the initial position;
    • s :- t means that it is legal to move from position s to position t in one move;
    • terminal positions, from which no move is possible;
    The game starts with a marker at 0. The game proceeds by having players make legal moves, moving the marker from position to position. If the marker lands on a position in W, Eloise wins; if not, either because it landed on a position in L or because the game went on forever, Abelard wins.
    An Example: NIM
    As an example, consider the Game of Nim. In this game, you have several stacks of coins on a table. The two players play alternately, and each move consists of removing some nonzero number of coins from a single stack. The first player to face an empty table loses. Here is the game (with positions) for Eloise facing the table having two stacks of coins, one with three coins and the other with one.

    • Marcin Kysiak (Polish Academy of Sciences)
        Various classes of small sets: combinatorics vs. measure and category (ps) (pdf)
        [Both at Marcin's site in Warsaw]
      Abstract : I shall talk about relations between classes of small sets in the sense of measure and/or category (like: strongly null, universally null, very meager, perfectly meager, etc.) and - that's combinatorial part - classes of small sets like s_0, l_0, m_0. In particular, I shall concentrate on some new (I hope so!) results that we have recently obtained together with Tomasz Weiss concerning Laver-null (l_0) and Miller-null (m_0) sets.
    • Imre Leader (Cambridge)
        Forbidden distances in the rationals and the reals
      Abstract : We show that the reals may be partitioned into finitely many classes, each of which has `few' distances in a certain natural sense. Although the construction appears to use CH in an indispensible way, it turns out that the result remains true without CH.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Jump to: navigation search Combinatorics is a branch of pure mathematics concerning the study of discrete (and usually finite ) objects. It is related to many other areas of mathematics , such as algebra probability theory ergodic theory and geometry , as well as to applied subjects in computer science and statistical physics . Aspects of combinatorics include "counting" the objects satisfying certain criteria ( enumerative combinatorics ), deciding when the criteria can be met, and constructing and analyzing objects meeting the criteria (as in combinatorial designs and matroid theory ), finding "largest", "smallest", or "optimal" objects ( extremal combinatorics and combinatorial optimization ), and finding algebraic structures these objects may have ( algebraic combinatorics Combinatorics is as much about problem solving as theory building, though it has developed powerful theoretical methods, especially since the later twentieth century (see the page List of combinatorics topics for details of the more recent development of the subject). One of the oldest and most accessible parts of combinatorics is

    Singular Cardinal Combinatorics
    May 1 - 6, 2004 (1/2 workshop)
    Organizers: Claude Laflamme (University of Calgary), Matthew Foreman (University of California, Irvine), Stevo Todorcevic (University of Toronto and CNRS Paris).
    Objectives
    An example of this phenomenon is the arithmetic of cardinal numbers. At one time it was generaly believed that the Axiom of Choice simplifies the arithmetic of cardinal numbers to the point of making it almost trivial. In fact this is quite false. Even with the assumption of the Axiom of Choice, there is a tremendous amount to be said about the behaviour of arithmetic operations on the cardinal numbers. Shelah's 1995 book titled `Cardinal Arithmetic' contained much of his work on the subject and won for its author the prestigious Bolyai prize and eventualy the much esteemed Wolf prize. The proposed workshop is designed to bring together researchers from around the world who work on singular cardinal combinatorics. The various communities in Europe, Israel, Japan, Canada and the United States have ofter worked independently; in some cases with remarkably little communication. The workshop will give the participants the opportunity to share their results and allow cross-fertilization between the various groups. There are various strands of the theory of singular cardinal combinatorics. One is the PCF theory and the development of the theory of scales, the relation to square properties and the singular cardinals problem. A major conjecture in this part of the area is:

    The goal of this course is to introduce the audience to the mathematical structures and the types of reasoning that one might encounter in Computer Science. The topics will be divided into three broad streams: set theory, algebra and combinatorics. In set theory , we will be content with covering the topics given in the text. The idea is to develop familiarity with the axiomatic development of the theory and concepts (e.g., the axiom of choice, Zorn's lemma, transfinite recursion, ordinal numbers, cardinal numbers etc.

    Furstenberg's proof uncovered the connection between combinatorial results and ergodic theory, and his ergodic theoretic proofs of combinatorial statements had unforeseen consequences within ergodic theory itself. Furstenberg and others introduced certain classes of dynamical systems and ergodic theoretic structures, and their study has become of independent interest. Moreover, the better understanding of the underlying ergodic theory has provided new combinatorial results, some of which have yet to be proven by any other method.

    Text only Department of Mathematics Home Research Home Research ... Contact Both number theory and combinatorics are part of what is called discrete mathematics, which has important applications in computer science and information technology, as well as an intrinsic elegance and fascination for mathematicians, professionals and amateurs alike. Number theory originated as the study of the structure and properties of the ordinary integers, but nowadays has expanded into the study of analogous properties of other (possibly non-commutative) rings. The methods employed are sometimes algebraic (e.g. group theory, ring theory and field theory, especially Galois theory), sometimes analytic (e.g. complex variable theory, Fourier analysis), sometimes geometric (e.g. algebraic geometry of curves and higher-dimensional varieties, Diophantine geometry), sometimes probabilistic (e.g. additive number theory) and sometimes combinatorial (e.g. graph theory, generating functions). The following are the current staff members of the department working in number theory:

Specifically, we show that if has doubling constant at most K, thus , then A can be contained in an affine subspace of cardinality at most The main ideas are to use ideas from extremal set systems theory, notably the method of compressions (as used for instance by Bollob¡s and Leader ) and of shifts (as used for instance by Frankl ). Using all this machinery, things eventually reduce to understanding sumsets of a very structured class of sets - the shift-minimal downsets

    Rotational Symmetry
    Here we (re-)show a Venn diagram made from 5 congruent ellipses. The regions are colored according to the number of ellipses in which they are contained: white (the external region) = 0, yellow = 1, red = 2, blue = 3, green = 4, and black = 5. Note that the number of regions colored with a given color corresponds to the appropriate binomial coefficient: #(white) = #(black) = 1, #(yellow) = #(green) = 5, and #(red) = #(blue) = 10. This diagram has a very a pleasing symmetry, namely an n -fold rotational symmetry. Such diagrams are said to be symmetric . This simply means that there is a point x about which the diagrams may be rotated by 2 i n and remain invariant, for i n- 1. Any symmetric Venn diagram must be made from congruent curves. The purpose of this section is to survey what is known about symmetric diagrams. Henderson first discussed the topic in his early paper [ He ], and he proved a simple necessary condition for the existence of symmetric Venn diagrams of
