Dec 7, 2017 at 10:39 comment added Asaf Karagila @Martin: Sounds like a cogent suggestion to make.
Dec 7, 2017 at 10:33 comment added Martin Sleziak @AsafKaragila Thanks for letting me know, I completely missed that. Now that the character limit is increased to 35, maybe a synonym (generalized-continuum-hypothesis) $\to$ could be created. I guess the tag would be easier to find in the longer form.
Dec 7, 2017 at 8:57 comment added Asaf Karagila @Martin: For some reason there is also a tag for gch which fits better here.

Feb 7, 2010 at 1:32 comment added François G. Dorais @algori: To say that "functional analysis depends on CH" is a misstatement. CH has been used to construct C* algebras and related structures. A survey was published by Nik Weaver in the Bulletin of Symbolic Logic 13 (2007). Recent work Ilijas Farah and others shows that some important and sophisticated set theoretic principles are closely tied to the theory of C* algebras.

Feb 6, 2010 at 2:05 comment added Yemon Choi I am not sure that "a lot" of functional analysis depends on GCH, although I am prepared to believe that several natural questions will depend on it unless one restricts to separable spaces (or separable preduals)

Feb 6, 2010 at 1:35 comment added Charles Siegel GCH is shorthand for Generalized Continuum Hypothesis. I don't think I've ever seen anyone mention it in our neck of the woods, though I might have missed it.
Feb 6, 2010 at 1:34 comment added François G. Dorais I'm told that Erdos believed that GCH was a fact and anything else was blasphemy.
Feb 6, 2010 at 1:28 comment added Kevin H. Lin For those of us who don't know what GCH is, can you unacronymize it once so we know? :-)
