This complements our results from [FK16], where we prove that in ZF (without DC), any possible behavior of the {\\theta}-function can be realized; and answers a question of Shelah in [She16], where he emphasizes that ZF + DC + AX4 is a reasonable theory, where much of set theory and combinatorics is possible.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-12-03T18:33:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "zermelo-fraenkel set theory", "dependent choice", "easton-like theorem", "theory zf", "infinite subsets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
