Here we rework posting #321 based on strictly dominating relations and
independent sets. WIth this infrastructure, the independent statements
are simpler.
1. INFINITE STATEMENTS.
We define N to be the set of all nonnegative integers.
Let R containedin N^4k and A containedin N^k. We define A' = N^k\A.
We say that R is upwards if and only if for all x in N^3k and y in
N^k, (x,y) in R implies max(x) < max(y).
We define
RA = {y in N^k: (therexists x in A^3)((x,y) in R)}.
We say that A is R independent if and only if A containedin N^k, and
A,RA are disjoint.
THEOREM 1.1. Every upwards R containedin N^4k has an independent A
such that RA = A'. Furthermore, A is unique.
We now use a restricted notion of forward image. Let R containedin
N^4k and A containedin N^k. Define
R*A = {y in N^k: (therexists x in A^3)((x,y) in R and min(y) not=
min(x)+1)}.
We say that x,y in N^k are order equivalent if and only if for all 1
<= i,j <= k, x_i < x_j iff y_i < y_j. We say that R containedin N^k is
order invariant if and only if for all order equivalent x,y in N^k, x
in R iff y in R.
The k dimensional powers of n are the elements of {1,n,n^2,...}^k.
PROPOSITION 1.2. Every upwards order invariant R containedin N^4k has
an independent A such that RRA and R*(A') have the same k dimensional
powers of (8k)!.
MAH = ZFC + {there exists a strongly n-Mahlo cardinal}_n. MAH+ = ZFC +
"for all n there exists a strongly n-Mahlo cardinal".
THEOREM 1.3. Theorem 1.1 is provable in RCA_0. Proposition 1.2 is
provable in MAH+ but not in MAH, assuming that MAH is consistent.
Proposition 1.2 is provably equivalent, over ACA, to CON(MAH).
Proposition 1.2 is not provable in any consistent subsystem of MAH. In
particular, Proposition 1.2 is not provable in ZFC, assuming ZFC is
consistent. If we delete * then Proposition 1.2 becomes a weakened
form of Theorem 1.1.
The 4 in "4k" can be extended to any higher number in the obvious way
without changing the results. We have not investigated the
independence status when 4 is replaced by 2 or 3. Probably 3 will
still give the same results, but 2 is not enough for independence.
Here (8k)! is just a convenient expression that is sufficiently large.
We can use Z+ instead of N.
2. FINITE STATEMENTS.
Here we replace N by [0,n], where n is an arbitrary nonnegative
integer. Here are the details.
Let R containedin [0,n]^4k and A containedin [0,n]^k. We define A' =
[0,n]^k\A.
We say that A is R independent if and only if A containedin [0,n]^k,
and A,RA are disjoint.
THEOREM 2.1. Every upwards R containedin [0,n]^4k has an independent A
such that RA = A'. Furthermore, A is unique.
We now use a restricted notion of forward image. Let R containedin
[0,n]^4k and A containedin [0,n]^k. Define
R*A = {y in [0,n]^k: (therexists x in A^3)((x,y) in R and min(y) not=
min(x)+1)}.
We say that R containedin [0,n]^k is order invariant if and only if
for all order equivalent x,y in [0,n]^k, x in R iff y in R.
PROPOSITION 2.2. Every upwards order invariant R containedin [0,n]^4k
has an independent A such that RRA and R*(A') have the same k
dimensional powers of (8k)!.
MAH = ZFC + {there exists a strongly n-Mahlo cardinal}_n. MAH+ = ZFC +
"for all n there exists a strongly n-Mahlo cardinal".
THEOREM 2.3. Theorem 2.1 is provable in EFA. Proposition 2.2 is
provable in MAH+ but not in MAH, assuming that MAH is consistent.
Proposition 2.2 is provably equivalent, over ACA, to CON(MAH).
Proposition 2.2 is not provable in any consistent subsystem of MAH. In
particular, Proposition 2.2 is not provable in ZFC, assuming ZFC is
consistent. If we delete * then Proposition 2.2 becomes a weakened
form of Theorem 2.1.
The 4 in "4k" can be extended to any higher number in the obvious way
without changing the results. We have not investigated the
independence status when 4 is replaced by 2 or 3. Probably 3 will
still give the same results, but 2 is not enough for independence.
We can use [1,n] instead of [0,n].
3. GENERALIZED FORWARD IMAGING.
Note that we have relied on a specific notion of forward imaging in
Propositions 1.2 and 2.2. It is natural to consider what happens when
we allow R* to be any of a collection of various notions of forward
imaging.
TEMPLATE. Every upwards order invariant R containedin N^4k has an
independent A such that RRA and R#(A') have the same k dimensional
powers of (8k)!.
TEMPLATE. Every upwards order invariant R containedin [0,n]^4k has an
independent A such that RRA and R#(A') have the same k dimensional
powers of (8k)!.
The forward imaging notion R* that we have used is particularly
simple. This suggests that we investigate
R(P;A) = {y in N^k: (therexists x in A^3)((x,y) in R and
P(min(x),min(y),max(x),max(y))}
where P is a Presburger relation. The Templates need to be adjusted to
take into account the complexity of P as a Presburger relation - e.g.,
the number of symbols in its definition in (N,<,0,1,+).
TEMPLATE 3.1. Let P containedin N^4 be a Presburger relation of
complexity at most c. Every upwards order invariant R containedin N^4k
has an independent A such that RRA and R(P;A') have the same k
dimensional powers of (8kc)!.
TEMPLATE 3.2. Let P containedin N^4 be a Presburger relation of
complexity at most c. Every upwards order invariant R containedin
[0,n]^4k has an independent A such that RRA and R(P;A') have the same
k dimensional powers of (8kc)!.
We conjecture that there is a decision procedure for determining the
truth value of each instance of these Templates. Also, each instance
of these Templates is either provable in RCA_0, refutable in RCA_0, or
provably equivalent to CON(MAH) over ACA.
