Abstract
A Hausdorff topological space X is van der Waerden if for every sequence (xn)n∈w in X there is a converging subsequence (xn)n∈A where A ⊆ w contains arithmetic progressions of all finite lengths. A Hausdorff topological space X is Hindman if for every sequence (xn)n∈w in X there is an IP-converging subsequence (xn)n∈FS(B) for some infinite B ⊆ w. We show that the continuum hypothesis implies the existence of a van der Waerden space which is not Hindman.
