As a consequence, we get that any locally additive coloring (a notion introduced in the paper) of a cardinal $\\kappa$ has a homogeneous set of size $\\kappa$ provided that the number of colors, $\\mu$ satisfies $\\mu^+<\\kappa$. Another result is that an uncountable cardinal $\\kappa$ is weakly compact if and only if $\\kappa$ is regular, has the tree property and for each $\\lambda,\\mu<\\kappa$ there exists $\\kappa^*<\\kappa$ such that every tree of height $\\mu$ with $\\lambda$ nodes has less than $\\kappa^*$ branches.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-04-14T10:54:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03E02", "03E55" ], "keywords": [ "edge colorings", "tree property", "uncountable cardinal", "consequence", "homogeneous set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
