RT Journal Article T1 On ω-independence and the Kunen-Shelah property A1 Jiménez Sevilla, María del Mar A1 Granero, A. S. A1 Moreno, José Pedro AB We prove that spaces with an uncountable omega-independent family fail the Kunen-Shelah property. Actually, if {x(i)}(iis an element ofI) is an uncountable w-independent family, there exists an uncountable subset J.C I such that x(j) is not an element of (conv) over bar({x(i)}(iis an element ofj/{j}) for every j is an element of J. This improves a previous result due to Sersouri, namely that every uncountable omega-independent family contains a convex right-separated subfamily.
