Abstract

It is unknown whether there can exist a family of functions from Ω1 into Ω of size less than that dominates all functions from Ω1 into Ω. We show that there is no such family if the continuum is real-valued measurable, and that the existence of such a family has consequences for cardinal arithmetic, and is related to large cardinal axioms.
