Title:
A Borel Chain Condition of T(X)
Time & Venue:

Abstract:
In 1948, Horn and Tarski conjectured whether the $\sigma$-finite chain condition and $\sigma$-bounded chain condition are equivalent. The first counter example was given by Thummel in 2012 and then a Borel counter example was given by Todorvevic in 2014. Both examples belong to a class of poset called "Todorvevic ordering" $T(X)$ over topological spaces $X$. In this talk, I will illustrate a satisfactory condition for a topological space $X$ making the corresponding poset $T(X)$ fail to have a countable Borel partition witenessing the $\sigma$ finite chain condition , although it may still witnessed by non Borel partitions.
