Aronszajn line

In mathematical set theory, an Aronszajn line (named after Nachman Aronszajn) is a linear ordering of cardinality

which contains no subset order-isomorphic to Unlike Suslin lines, the existence of Aronszajn lines is provable using the standard axioms of set theory.

A linear ordering is an Aronszajn line if and only if it is the lexicographical ordering of some Aronszajn tree.
