The generalized continuum hypothesis states that for any infinite cardinal there is no cardinal such that .
An equivalent condition is that for every ordinal . Another equivalent condition is that for every ordinal .
Like the continuum hypothesis, the generalized continuum hypothesis is known to be independent of the axioms of ZFC.
