Uncountable well ordered set in $Z^-$ theory.












1












$begingroup$


I want to build an uncountable well-ordered set within the theory $Z^textbf-$. So, I take $A=omega$ (exists by infinity axiom) and define $$W:={(X,R)inmathcal{P}(A)timesmathcal{P}(Atimes A):langle X,Rrangle text{is a well-ordered set}}$$



With this I consider the set $T:=W/cong$ (where $cong$ is isomorphism relation). Note that $W$ and $T$ are sets by power set axiom. So I define for each equivalence class $[x],[y]in T$ the order



$$
[x]leq_T[y]Leftrightarrow text{type}(x, R_x)leq text{type}(y,R_y)
$$



Here, $R_x$ means the order of $x$ that make it belongs to $[x]$.



So, $T$ is well ordered by $leq_T$ and it is uncountable.



Question: I don't pretty sure if I can build $leq_ T$ without replacement axiom. Another doubt is, Can I take the $R_x$ without AC?

Hartogs' theorem is provable without Replacement. The trick is to note that the isomorphism with ordinals is really unnecessary.



Instead you want to just look at well-orders modulo order isomorphisms. In fact, one can look at ${Xsubseteqmathcal P(A)mid (X,subsetneq)text{ is well-ordered}}/cong$, or in other words, look at the set of chains of subsets of $A$ which are well-ordered by $subseteq$, modulo the order-isomorphism relation.



It is not hard to show that this set is both well-ordered, and does not embed into $A$. So if $A=omega$, the resulting order type is uncountable by definition.



Note that Replacement was never used here. We never mapped each well-order to its order type as a von Neumann ordinal. We just looked at sets of sets of chains of subsets, with a bunch of Separation.

    It might also be worth pointing out, that replacement is not needed to construct the ordering of the equivalence classes; since we can take $E_0 le E_1$, iff, for every $ain E_0$, there is some $bin E_1$, with $asubset b$.
