Abstract

It is shown to be consistent with various values of b, d and 21 that there is a universal graph on ω1. Moreover, it is also shown that it is consistent that there is a universal graph on ω1 — in other words, a universal symmetric function from ω12 to 2 — but no such function from ω12 to ω. The method used relies on iterating well known reals, such as Miller and Laver reals, and alternating this with the PID forcing which adds no new reals. The last sections examine the question of set valued universal functions.
