Galvin's Question on non-$\sigma$-Well Ordered Linear Orders

Logic 2020-10-29 v2

Abstract

Assume C\mathcal{C} is the class of all linear orders LL such that LL is not a countable union of well ordered sets, and every uncountable subset of LL contains a copy of ω1\omega_1. We show it is consistent that C\mathcal{C} has minimal elements. This answers an old question due to Galvin.
