Optimal Matrices of Partitions and an Application to Souslin Trees

Logic 2010-05-28 v2

Abstract

The basic result of this note is a statement about the existence of families of partitions of the set of natural numbers with some favourable properties, the n-optimal matrices of partitions. We use this to improve a decomposition result for strongly homogeneous Souslin trees. The latter is in turn applied to separate strong notions of rigidity of Souslin trees, thereby answering a considerable portion of a question of Fuchs and Hamkins.
