Jun 24, 2019 at 0:51 comment added user78375 Since whether or not a sequence $(m_n, l_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ lies in $\mathcal{V}$ depends only on its initial segments, I would like to know if it is possible to choose the $l_n$ sequence in a game without future information. That is, if every $A$ has a subset homogeneous in $\mathcal{V}$, is it possible to write down game where Players take turns choosing infinite subsets and $m_n, l_n$ values, and one of the players wins if $(m_n, l_n)_{n=1}^\infty\in \mathcal{U}$ (equivalently, $(m_n, l_n)_{n=1}^t\in \mathcal{F}$ for all $t$? Basically, can we choose the $l_n$ concurrently with the $m_n$?
Jun 24, 2019 at 0:47 comment added user78375 This is about as far as I had gotten. The hypothesis that for every infinite subset $K$ of $\mathbb{N}$, there exists a further subset $M$ which is homogeneous in $\mathcal{V}$. If we write $M=(m_n)_{n=1}^\infty$, this means there exists $(l_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ such that $(m_n, l_n)_{n=1}^t\in \mathcal{F}$ for all $t$. However, this is only good enough to let me choose $(l_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ after all $(m_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ have been chosen.
