Abstract:

The aim of these notes is to give a direct proof of the partition relation Souslin tree $\to (\alpha )_k^2$, valid for any integer $k$ and any ordinal $\alpha < {\omega _1}$. This relation was established by J. E. Baumgartner, who noticed that it follows by a simple forcing and absoluteness argument from the relation ${\omega _1} \to (\alpha )_k^2$, which is a special case of a theorem of Baumgartner and A. Hajnal.
