TWO INFINITE FAMILIES OF EQUIVALENCES OF THE CONTINUUM HYPOTHESIS

 

In this brief note we present two infinite families of equivalences of the Continuum Hypothesis, as follows:

• For every fixed n ≥ 2, the Continuum Hypothesis is equivalent to the following statement: “There is an n-dimensional real normed vector space E including a subset A of size א1 such that E \ A is not path connected”.

• For every fixed T1 first-countable topological space X with at least two points, the Con- tinuum Hypothesis is equivalent to the following statement: “There is a point of the Tychonoff product XR with a fundamental system of open neighbourhoods B of size א1”.
