More Easton theorems for level by level equivalence

Arthur W. Apter (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We establish two new Easton theorems for the least supercompact cardinal that are consistent with the level by level equivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness. These theorems generalize Theorem 1 in our earlier paper [Math. Logic Quart. 51 (2005)]. In both our ground model and the model witnessing the conclusions of our present theorems, there are no restrictions on the structure of the class of supercompact cardinals.

Level by Level Inequivalence, Strong Compactness, and GCH

Arthur W. Apter (2012)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We construct three models containing exactly one supercompact cardinal in which level by level inequivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness holds. In the first two models, below the supercompact cardinal κ, there is a non-supercompact strongly compact cardinal. In the last model, any suitably defined ground model Easton function is realized.

Indestructibility, strongness, and level by level equivalence

Arthur W. Apter (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We construct a model in which there is a strong cardinal κ whose strongness is indestructible under κ-strategically closed forcing and in which level by level equivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness holds non-trivially.

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...

Some Remarks on Tall Cardinals and Failures of GCH

Arthur W. Apter (2013)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We investigate two global GCH patterns which are consistent with the existence of a tall cardinal, and also present some related open questions.

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.

Singular Failures of GCH and Level by Level Equivalence

Arthur W. Apter (2014)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We construct a model for the level by level equivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness in which below the least supercompact cardinal κ, there is an unbounded set of singular cardinals which witness the only failures of GCH in the universe. In this model, the structure of the class of supercompact cardinals can be arbitrary.

The Wholeness Axioms and the Class of Supercompact Cardinals

Arthur W. Apter (2012)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We show that certain relatively consistent structural properties of the class of supercompact cardinals are also relatively consistent with the Wholeness Axioms.

On level by level equivalence and inequivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness

Arthur W. Apter (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove two theorems, one concerning level by level inequivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness, and one concerning level by level equivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness. We first show that in a universe containing a supercompact cardinal but of restricted size, it is possible to control precisely the difference between the degree of strong compactness and supercompactness that any measurable cardinal exhibits. We then show that in an unrestricted...

Mixed Levels of Indestructibility

Arthur W. Apter (2015)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

Starting from a supercompact cardinal κ, we force and construct a model in which κ is both the least strongly compact and least supercompact cardinal and κ exhibits mixed levels of indestructibility. Specifically, κ 's strong compactness, but not its supercompactness, is indestructible under any κ -directed closed forcing which also adds a Cohen subset of κ. On the other hand, in this model, κ 's supercompactness is indestructible under any κ -directed closed forcing which does not add...
