Abstract

In a recent paper, Cummings, Eisworth and Moore gave a novel construction of minimal non-σ-scattered linear orders of arbitrarily large successor size. It remained open whether it is possible to construct these orders at other cardinals. Here, it is proved that in Gödel’s constructible universe, these orders exist at any regular uncountable cardinal κ that is not weakly compact. In fact, for any cardinal κ as above we obtain 2κ many such orders which are pairwise non-embeddable. At the level of ℵ1, their work answered an old question of Baumgartner by constructing from ♢ a minimal Aronszajn line that is not Souslin. Our uniform construction is based on the Brodsky–Rinot proxy principle which at the level of ℵ1 is strictly weaker than ♢.
