Strong partition cardinal
- Strong partition cardinal
In Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without the axiom of choice a strong partition cardinal is an uncountable well-ordered cardinal such that every partition of the set of size subsets of into less than pieces has a homogeneous set of size .
The existence of strong partition cardinals contradicts the axiom of choice. The Axiom of determinacy implies that ℵ1 is a strong partition cardinal.
