Feb 4, 2011 at 9:19 comment added Stephen S @Andres Caicedo - I'm not claiming that $\beth_{\omega_1}^{\aleph_0}>\beth_{\omega_1}$. I only need that $\beth_{\omega_1}\cdot{\aleph_0}=\beth_{\omega_1}$ (to get $|V|=\dim(V)$) and that there is no cardinal $\lambda$ such that $\aleph_0^\lambda=\beth_{\omega_1}$ - and these statements are true, and don't involve $\beth_{\omega_1}^{\aleph_0}$.
Feb 4, 2011 at 7:37 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo Stephen: Your "the same is true if..." is not quite correct. For example, $\beth_{\omega_1}^{\aleph_0}=\beth_{\omega_1}$. Here, $\omega_1$ is the first uncountable ordinal. (Your remark is true with $\beth_\omega$ and even with $\beth_\alpha$ whenever $\alpha$ has cofinality $\omega$, for example.)
