DOI 10.3103/s1055134411040067
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We refute the strong version of Shelah’s conjecture about models of large cardinalities, the independence property, and indiscernible sequences. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a theory to lack the independence property and present applications of these conditions.
