An inverse semigroup is called E-unitary if the equations ea = e = e2 together imply a2 = a. In a previous paper [4], the author showed that any E-unitary inverse semigroup is isomorphic to a semigroup constructed from a triple (G, ℋ, ) consisting of a down-directed partially ordered set ℋ, an ideal and subsemilattice of ℋ and a group G acting on ℋ, on the left, by order automorphisms in such a way that ℋ = G. This semigroup is denoted by P(G, ℋ, ); it consists of all pairs (a, g)∈ × G such that g−1a ∈ , under the multiplication

By an E-unitary inverse semigroup we mean an inverse semigroup in which the semilattice is a unitary subset. Such semigroups, elsewhere called ‘proper’ or ‘reduced’ inverse semigroups, have been the object of much recent study. Free inverse semigroups form a subclass of particular interest.An important structure theorem for E-unitary inverse semigroups has been obtained by McAlister [4, 5]. From a triple (G, ) consisting of a group G, a partially ordered set and a subset , satisfying certain conditions, he constructs an E-unitary inverse semigroup P(G, ). A semigroup of this type is called a P-semigroup. The structure theorem states that every E-unitary inverse semigroup is, to within isomorphism, of this form. A second theorem asserts that every inverse semigroup is isomorphic to a quotient of a Psemigroup by an idempotent-separating congruence. We refer below to these results as McAlister's Theorems A and B respectively. A triple (C, ) of the type used to construct a P-semigroup is here termed a “McAlister triple”. It is shown further, in [5], that there is essentially only one such triple corresponding to a given E-unitary inverse semigroup.

Let Q be a quasi-ordered set with respect to ⩽ ; that is, the order ⩽ is reflexive and transitive. An element a of Q is called maximal (minimal) ifa is called greatest (smallest) ifObviously a greatest (smallest) element is maximal (minimal). A greatest (smallest) element in a partially ordered set is unique, but it is not necessarily unique in a quasi-ordered set.

A (meet-) semilattice is an algebra with one binary operation ∧, which is associative, commutative and idempotent. Throughout this paper we are working in the category of semilattices. All categorical or general algebraic notions are to be understood in this category. In every semilattice S the relationdefines a partial ordering of S. The symbol "∨" denotes least upper bounds under this partial ordering. If it is not clear from the context in which partially ordered set a least upper bound is taken, we add this set as an index to the symbol; for example, ∨AX denotes the least upper bound of X in the partially ordered set A.

Let (X, ≤) be a partially ordered set, that is, X is a set and ≤ is a reflexive, anti-symmetric, transitive, binary relation on X.We write,for each x ∈ X. If, moreover,exists for each x and y in X, then (X, ≤) is said to be a semi-lattice.

In a series of papers culminating in [9], M. Talagrand, the second author, and others investigated at length the properties and structure of pointwise compact sets of measurable functions. A number of problems, interesting in themselves and important for the theory of Pettis integration, were solved subject to various special axioms. It was left unclear just how far the special axioms were necessary. In particular, several results depended on the fact that it is consistent to suppose that every countable relatively pointwise compact set of Lebesgue measurable functions is ‘stable’ in Talagrand's sense, the point being that stable sets are known to have a variety of properties not shared by all pointwise compact sets. In the present paper we present a model of set theory in which there is a countable relatively pointwise compact set of Lebesgue measurable functions which is not stable and discuss the significance of this model in relation to the original questions. A feature of our model which may be of independent interest is the following: in it, there is a closed negligible set Q ⊆ [0, 1]2 such that whenever D ⊆ [0,1] has outer measure 1, thenhas inner measure 1 (see 2G below).We embark immediately on the central ideas of this paper, setting out a construction of a partially ordered set which forces a fairly technical proposition in measure theory (IS below); the relevance of this proposition to pointwise compact sets will be discussed in §2.

T. Jech [4] and M. Takahashi [7] proved that given any partial ordering R in a model of ZFC there is a symmetric submodel of a generic extension of where R is isomorphic to the injective ordering on a set of cardinals.The authors raised the question whether the injective ordering of cardinals can be universal, i.e. whether the following axiom of “cardinal universality” is consistent:CU. For any partially ordered set (X, ≼) there is a bijection f:X → Y such that(i.e. x ≼ y iff ∃g: f(x) → f(y) injective). (See [1].)The consistency of CU relative to ZF0 (Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without foundation) is proved in [2], but the transfer method of Jech-Sochor-Pincus cannot be applied to obtain consistency with full ZF (including foundation), since CU apparently is not boundable.In this paper the authors define a model of ZF + CU as a symmetric submodel of a generic extension obtained by forcing “à la Easton” with a class of conditions which add κ generic subsets to any regular cardinal κ of a ground model satisfying ZF + V = L.

AbstractOne partially ordered set, Q, is a Tukey quotient of another, P, if there is a map (a Tukey quotient) $\phi :P \to Q$ carrying cofinal sets of P to cofinal sets of Q. Two partial orders which are mutual Tukey quotients of each other are said to be Tukey equivalent. Let ${\cal D}_{\rm{}} $ be the partially ordered set of Tukey equivalence classes of directed sets of size $ \le {\rm{}}$. It is shown that ${\cal D}_{\rm{}} $ contains an antichain of size $2^{\rm{}} $, and so has size $2^{\rm{}} $. The elements of the antichain are of the form ${\cal K}\left( M \right)$, the set of compact subsets of a separable metrizable space M, ordered by inclusion. The order structure of such ${\cal K}\left( M \right)$’s under Tukey quotients is investigated. Relative Tukey quotients are introduced. Applications are given to function spaces and to the complexity of weakly countably determined Banach spaces and Gul’ko compacta.

Throughout, (X, ≤ ) denotes a partially ordered set (p. o. set), where X is assumed to be finite. A subset Y of X is called a k-union if Y contains no chain of length K + 1. In particular, therefore, a 1-union is just an antichain; and it is readily seen that Y is a k-union if and only if it is a union of K antichains. (Dually, a subset Z of X is a k-counion if Z contains no antichain of length k + 1.) We denote by dk (X) the maximum cardinality of a k-union in X, with a similar notation for other p. o. sets. Now let be any partition of X into chains, and write.
