Abstract

It is consistent for every 1 ≤ n < ω that 2ω = ωn and there is a function F : [ωn] → ω such that every finite set can be written in at most 2n-1 ways as the union of two distinct monocolored sets. If GCH holds, for every such coloring there is a finite set that can be written at least 1/2 ∑i=1n (nn+i) (in) ways as the union of two sets with the same color.
