? 2022 Elsevier B.V.The Specker theorem is considered, stating that if for some cardinal m there is no strictly intermediate cardinal between m and 2m (briefly CH(m)), and also between 2m and 22m (briefly CH(2m)), then the cardinal 2m is an aleph (briefly WO(2m)). Rejecting the second condition CH(2m) in Specker's theorem, a different condition of local bounded selection of elements from the family of bijections of the set X, X=m, to sets X?0,α), 0<α(m) (briefly AC2m(?(m))) is specified, which is not only a sufficient condition for 2m=?(m), which strengthens Specker's theorem, but also a necessary condition for it. More precisely, if m is an infinite cardinal, then the formula 2m=?(m) holds if and only if the following formula CH(m)∧AC2m(?(m)) is true. Here ?(m) is a Hartogs number. The following generalized Specker theorems are also proved: (CH(m+?(m))∧CH(2m))?WO(2m), (CH(m)∧CH(m+?)∧?≥?(m))?WO(2m) and (CH(m+?)∧CH(2m)∧?(m)≤2m)?WO(2m). The following nontrivial theorem is proved: Let m be a cardinal such that the formula CH(2m) is true and Hartogs number ?(2m) is a regular cardinal. Then formula WO(m) is true if and only if m2=m and for every two alephs ? and ?′ such that 2m<2? and 2?′<2m the following inequalities m and ?′展开▼
