Some implications in infinite combinatorics

Heike Mildenberger, Universität Wien

 

A cardinal characteristic is a cardinal number that describes a combinatorial or analytical property of the continuum. Like the power of the continuum itself, the size of a cardinal characteristic is often independent from ZFC. However, some restrictions on possible sizes follow from ZFC. In the talk, I shall show some of these restrictions for some well-known cardinal characteristics: $\mathfrak{b}$ is the least size of an unbounded set in the order of eventual dominance on the set of functions from $\omega$ to $\omega$, and $\mathfrak{g}$ is the groupwise density number, whose definition we shall recall in our talk.
