Extract

There is a mistake in [6], discovered by Robert V. Kohn: contrary to the claim on p. 714, the set {◊X i : i ≥ 2} is not independent in S3. As a result three problems thought to be settled are open once more, viz., whether the Post numbers of S2, S3, and K4 are denumerable. In [6] it was claimed they are not. Now we shall prove that that claim is indeed correct for S2 and K4 but, surprisingly enough, not for S3.
