摘要
In this paper the auther begins with some known results about η_λ(=the least cardinal K such that K→(λ)~<∞), proving this theorem: If λ is not Ramsey cardinal and η_λ exists, then for every a<η_λ there is a weakly compact cardinal γ, such that λ<γ_α<η_λandγ_α<γ_βwhenever a<β<η_λ, therefore η_λ is the limit of the sequence(γ_α:a<η_λ), i.e. η_λ=limγ_α. The theorem is mainly based on the theory of models with indiscernibles.
