Use one label for each member of . More explicitly, set
An infinite branch through this tree has a constant first coordinate and second coordinate , so . Thus is -Suslin. Since injects into a set of cardinality , part i makes a -Suslin set. This proves that Every set of reals is continuum-Suslin.
Suppose ZFC proved that every -Suslin set is determined. The assumed consistency of ZFC and the relative consistency of the Continuum hypothesis would then give a model of
In that model . By Every set of reals is continuum-Suslin, every subset of is therefore -Suslin and hence determined. This is the axiom of determinacy.
But the axiom of choice produces an undetermined set of reals, so ZFC and the axiom of determinacy are incompatible. The displayed theory cannot have a model, contradicting the relative consistency of ZFC plus the continuum hypothesis. Hence ZFC cannot prove that all -Suslin sets are determined.
