Example Sentences
- "The existence of Hausdorff gaps shows that the partially ordered set of possible growth rates of sequences is not complete.^([Wikipedia])"
- "Of course, Hausdorff did not talk of models of set theory or prove absoluteness results. He gave a direct construction in ZFC of what is now called a Hausdorff gap and proved properties 1 through 4 for his construction. The notion of a Hausdorff gap and the proof that Hausdorff gaps are indestructible under cardinal preserving extensions (property 5 above) are due to Kunen (unpublished)."
- "Let #92;langle#92;langlea#95;#92;epsilon#58;#92;epsilonlt;#92;omega#95;1#92;rangle#92;langleb#95;#92;epsilon#58;#92;epsilonlt;#92;omega#95;1#92;rangle#92;rangle be a Hausdorff gap."
