Let $Lambda$ be the set of all countable limit ordinals. Does there exist an injective function $f:Lambdatoomega_1$ with the properties:



  1. $forall lambdainLambda:~f(lambda)<lambda$


  2. $forallalpha<omega_1~~existsbeta<omega_1~~foralllambda>beta:~f(lambda)>alpha$ ?

    Though the answer below answers your question, you might be interested to know that an injective function $f:Lambdatoomega_1$ automatically satisfies $2$: for any $gammaleqalpha$ there is at most one ordinal $a_gamma$ such that $f(a_gamma)=gamma$. Then $beta=sup_gammaleqalphaa_gamma$ will work.

No. The first property is known as $f$ being regressive. Fodor’s Lemma says that any regressive function on a stationary set is constant on a stationary subset. In particular, because $Lambda$ is club (and thus stationary), such $f$ cannot be injective.
