Abstract

We prove that the strong polarized relation \({\left(\begin{array}{ll} 2^\mu\\ \mu \end{array}\right)\rightarrow \left(\begin{array}{ll} 2^\mu\\ \mu \end{array}\right)^{1,1}_2}\) is consistent with ZFC. We show this for \({\mu = \aleph _0}\) , and for every supercompact cardinal μ. We also characterize the polarized relation below the splitting number.
