Erdős cardinal

Erdős cardinal

In mathematics, an Erdős cardinal (named after Paul Erdős) is a certain kind of large cardinal number.

Formally, a cardinal number κ which is the least cardinal such that for every function "f": κ < ω → {0, 1} there is a set of order type α that is homogeneous for "f", is called an α-Erdős cardinal.

Existence of zero sharp implies that the constructible universe L satisfies "for every countable ordinal α, there is an α-Erdős cardinal". In fact, for every indiscernible κ, Lκ satisfies "for every ordinal α, there is an α-Erdős cardinal in Coll(ω, α) (the generic collapse to make α countable)".

However, existence of an ω1-Erdős cardinal implies existence of zero sharp. If f is the satisfaction relation for L (using ordinal parameters), then existence of zero sharp is equivalent to there being an ω1-Erdős ordinal with respect to f.

If κ is α-Erdős, then it is α-Erdős in every transitive model satisfying "α is countable".
