For every

x \in \mathbb{R}

let

A_x \subset \mathbb{R}

be a bounded set of Lebesgue outer measure

< 1

. Must there be an infinite independent set, that is an infinite

X \subseteq \mathbb{R}

with

x \notin A_y

for all distinct

x, y \in X

? Erdős and Hajnal proved that arbitrarily large finite independent sets exist. Hechler showed in 1972 that the answer is no under the continuum hypothesis, so any positive answer had to come from a model where CH fails, and Sungchul Lee later derived one from a real-valued measurable cardinal. The answer is that neither side is provable. Dropping Lee's large cardinal by transferring his argument to the extension of a model of CH by random reals gives a model where the answer is yes; Hechler's construction gives one where it is no. The question is independent of ZFC.

Which finite triple systems occur in every triple system of uncountable chromatic number? The claimed characterization: exactly those that, after removing isolated vertices, are linear, have every hyperedge-node of their Levi graph meeting a bridge, and have every Berge cycle even.

Let

X

\aleph_\omega

and

f

a function from the finite subsets of

X

X

such that

f(A)\not\in A

A

. Must there exist an infinite independent

Y\subseteq X

f(B)\not\in Y

B\subset Y

? Claimed resolution: the positive assertion is equivalent to Koepke's free-subset property, hence independent of ZFC, with consistency strength exactly a measurable cardinal.

For a finite forbidden triple system

G

, what exact uncountable chromatic cardinalities occur among

G

-free triple systems, and how do those spectra interact? The revised manuscript answers the three exact-cardinal questions and claims a complete spectrum dichotomy.
