Abstract:
A Hausdorff topological space is van der Waerden if for every sequence in there is a converging subsequence where contains arithmetic progressions of all finite lengths. A Hausdorff topological space is Hindman if for every sequence in there is an IP-converging subsequence for some infinite . We show that the continuum hypothesis implies the existence of a van der Waerden space which is not Hindman.

The authors wish to acknowledge a substantial simplification made by the referee in the proof. The referee has eliminated an inessential use that the authors have made of the canonical van der Waerden theorem, all of whose known proofs use Szemerédi's theorem.
