Shelah's consistency conjecture for Specker orders and Aronszajn trees
Let a Specker order and the orders be as described immediately before the statement. Let be an Aronszajn tree, let , and write for its tree order. Shelah's consistency conjecture. It is consistent that any Specker order contains a suborder as above, and that if are as above, then or have uncountable isomorphic suborders. Equivalently, for every Aronszajn tree and every coloring , there are an uncountable and such that for every distinct , the maximal satisfies .
The source says that the second consistency assertion is proved by a cited construction; the supplied status evidence says the associated claim is resolved by constructing a very special Aronszajn tree.
