Game versions of the tower number $\mathfrak t$

For problem 1: yes, $\mathfrak{t}_I \leq \mathfrak{t}_J \leq \mathfrak{c}$. … In fact, this argument shows that $\mathfrak{t}_I \leq \mathfrak{t}_J \leq \mathfrak{s}$, where $\mathfrak{s}$ denotes the splitting number. …

Game versions of the tower number $\mathfrak t$

It is easy to see that $\mathfrak t\le \mathfrak t_I\le\mathfrak t_J\le\mathfrak c^+$. Problem 1. Is $\mathfrak t_I\le\mathfrak c$? $\mathfrak t_J\le\mathfrak c$? Problem 2. … Is the strict inequality $\mathfrak t<\mathfrak t_J$ (resp. $\mathfrak t<\mathfrak t_I$ or $\mathfrak t_I<\mathfrak t_J$) consistent? …

A permutation group inducing a topologically transitive action without dense orbits on $\ome...

Under $\mathfrak t=\mathfrak c$, every topologically transitive continuous action of a group $G$ on $\omega^*$ has a dense orbit. Proof. … By the definition of the tower number $\mathfrak t$ and the equality $\mathfrak t=\mathfrak c>\alpha$, there exists an infinite subset $V_\alpha\subseteq\omega$ such that $V_\alpha\subseteq^* U_\beta$ …

Relations between two tower numbers

Thus, in his model $\mathfrak{t}=\hat{\mathfrak{t}}=\aleph_1<\aleph_2=\mathfrak{b}=\mathfrak{c}$, and so the last question in your first problem has a negative answer. … Thus, this gives a model where $\mathfrak{t}<\hat{\mathfrak{t}}$. Edit 3/17/20 I tracked down another reference (due to Dordal [2]) with some more information on this question. …

Improving a Lindstrom-y fact about $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1,\omega}$?

{T}\subseteq\mathcal{L}\cap\mathbb{A}$, if every $\mathbb{A}$-finite subset of $\mathfrak{T}$ has a model then $\mathfrak{T}$ has a model. … Barwise compactness then gives us a model of the whole theory $\mathfrak{T}$. …

Discrete version of Arzela-Ascoli theorem

$\mathfrak{t\le scp}$, where $\mathfrak{t}$ is the tower number. Proof. Assume that $A=\{a_\xi \mid \xi<\kappa\}$ for $\kappa<\mathfrak{t}$. … For example, can we prove $\mathfrak{scp=t}$ or $\mathfrak{scp\le h}$ (where $\mathfrak{h}$ is a shattering number)? I would appreciate your help! …

Relations between two tower numbers

Consider two small uncountable cardinals: $\mathfrak t=\min\{|T|:T\subset[\omega]^\omega$ is a tower$\}$; $\hat{\mathfrak t}=\sup\{|T|:T\subset[\omega]^\omega$ is a regular tower$\}$. … It is clear that $$\mathfrak t\le\hat{\mathfrak t}\le\mathfrak c.$$ Martin's Axiom implies $\mathfrak t=\hat{\mathfrak t}=\mathfrak c$. …

It is true, in ZFC, that $\omega_1+1$ is soft-Parovichenko but "all compactifications with remainder $\omega_1+1$ are soft" is equivalent to $\mathfrak{t}>\omega_1$. …

Is the smallest $L_\alpha$ with undefinable ordinals always countable?

${\mathfrak t}$ is the least $\beta$ such that there is a $\gamma<\beta$ with $L_\gamma \prec L_\beta$. That ${\mathfrak t} \leq$ the least such $\beta$ is obvious. … On the other hand, if $X \subset L_{\mathfrak t}$ is $\subseteq$-least with $X \prec L_{\mathfrak t}$, then $X \not= L_{\mathfrak t}$; hence if $\sigma \colon L_\gamma \cong X$, then either $\sigma$ is …
