Uncountable sets and an infinite linear order game
An infinite game on the set of real numbers appeared in Matthew Baker's work
[Math. Mag. 80 (2007), no. 5, pp. 377--380] in which he asks whether it can
help characterize countable subsets of the reals. This question is in a similar
spirit to how the Banach-Mazur Game characterizes meager sets in an arbitrary
topological space. In a recent paper, Will Brian and Steven Clontz prove that in Baker's game,
Player II has a winning strategy if and only if the payoff set is countable.
They also asked if it is possible, in general linear orders, for Player II to
have a winning strategy on some uncountable set. To this we give a positive answer and moreover construct, for every infinite
cardinal $\kappa$, a dense linear order of size $\kappa$ on which Player II has
a winning strategy on all payoff sets. We finish with some future research
questions, further underlining the difficulty in generalizing the
characterization of Brian and Clontz to linear orders.
