ClubsuitIn mathematics, and particularly in axiomatic set theory, ♣S (clubsuit) is a combinatorial principle that is a weaker version of ◊S and that was introduced in 1975 by A. Ostaszewski. Definition For a given cardinal number κ and a stationary set S ⊆ κ, ♣S is the statement that there is a sequence such that is usually written as just ♣. ♣ and ◊ It is clear that ◊ ⇒ ♣, and A. J. Ostaszewski showed in 1975 that ♣ + CH ⇒ ◊; however, Saharon Shelah gave proof in 1980 that there exists a model of ♣ in which CH does not hold, so ♣ and ◊ are not equivalent (since ◊ ⇒ CH).
