== Applications == The theory has found a great deal of applications, besides cardinal arithmetic. The original survey by Shelah, ''Cardinal arithmetic for skeptics'', includes the following topics: almost free abelian groups, partition problems, failure of preservation of chain conditions in Boolean algebras under products, existence of Jónsson algebras, existence of entangled linear orders, equivalently narrow Boolean algebras, and the existence of nonisomorphic models equivalent in certain infinitary logics. In the meantime, many further applications have been found in Set Theory, Model Theory, Algebra and Topology.
