| contents | We use hypotheses from PCF theory to construct a linear ordering
which has cardinality the successor of a singular cardinal of countable cofinality, and is
incompact in the following sense: the ordering is not sigma-scattered,
but every smaller subordering is sigma-wellordered. Such orderings were
first constructed by Todorcevic using Jensen's square principle. |
