The consistency strength of the tree property at the double successor of a measurable cardina

Natasha Dobrinen, Sy-David Friedman (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The Main Theorem is the equiconsistency of the following two statements: (1) κ is a measurable cardinal and the tree property holds at κ⁺⁺; (2) κ is a weakly compact hypermeasurable cardinal. From the proof of the Main Theorem, two internal consistency results follow: If there is a weakly compact hypermeasurable cardinal and a measurable cardinal far enough above it, then there is an inner model in which there is a proper class of measurable cardinals, and in which the tree property...

HOD-supercompactness, Indestructibility, and Level by Level Equivalence

Arthur W. Apter, Shoshana Friedman (2014)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

In an attempt to extend the property of being supercompact but not HOD-supercompact to a proper class of indestructibly supercompact cardinals, a theorem is discovered about a proper class of indestructibly supercompact cardinals which reveals a surprising incompatibility. However, it is still possible to force to get a model in which the property of being supercompact but not HOD-supercompact holds for the least supercompact cardinal κ₀, κ₀ is indestructibly supercompact, the strongly...

Continuous tree-like scales

James Cummings (2010)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

Answering a question raised by Luis Pereira, we show that a continuous tree-like scale can exist above a supercompact cardinal. We also show that the existence of a continuous tree-like scale at ℵω is consistent with Martin’s Maximum.

Some applications of Sargsyan's equiconsistency method

Arthur W. Apter (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We apply techniques due to Sargsyan to reduce the consistency strength of the assumptions used to establish an indestructibility theorem for supercompactness. We then show how these and additional techniques due to Sargsyan may be employed to establish an equiconsistency for a related indestructibility theorem for strongness.
