Easton functions and supercompactness

Brent Cody, Sy-David Friedman, Radek Honzik (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Suppose that κ is λ-supercompact witnessed by an elementary embedding j: V → M with critical point κ, and further suppose that F is a function from the class of regular cardinals to the class of cardinals satisfying the requirements of Easton’s theorem: (1) ∀α α < cf(F(α)), and (2) α < β ⇒ F(α) ≤ F(β). We address the question: assuming GCH, what additional assumptions are necessary on j and F if one wants to be able to force the continuum function to agree with F globally, while...

Supercompactness and failures of GCH

Sy-David Friedman, Radek Honzik (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let κ < λ be regular cardinals. We say that an embedding j: V → M with critical point κ is λ-tall if λ < j(κ) and M is closed under κ-sequences in V. Silver showed that GCH can fail at a measurable cardinal κ, starting with κ being κ⁺⁺-supercompact. Later, Woodin improved this result, starting from the optimal hypothesis of a κ⁺⁺-tall measurable cardinal κ. Now more generally, suppose that κ ≤ λ are regular and one wishes the GCH to fail at λ with κ being λ-supercompact. Silver’s...

Sandwiching the Consistency Strength of Two Global Choiceless Cardinal Patterns

Arthur W. Apter (2009)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We provide upper and lower bounds in consistency strength for the theories “ZF + $\neg A C_{ω}$ + All successor cardinals except successors of uncountable limit cardinals are regular + Every uncountable limit cardinal is singular + The successor of every uncountable limit cardinal is singular of cofinality ω” and “ZF + $\neg A C_{ω}$ + All successor cardinals except successors of uncountable limit cardinals are regular + Every uncountable limit cardinal is singular + The successor of every uncountable limit cardinal...

Rectangular square-bracket operation for successor of regular cardinals

Assaf Rinot, Stevo Todorcevic (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We give a uniform proof that $λ ⁺ ↛ [λ ⁺; λ ⁺] ²_{λ ⁺}$ holds for every regular cardinal λ.

L-like Combinatorial Principles and Level by Level Equivalence

Arthur W. Apter (2009)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We force and construct a model in which GCH and level by level equivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness hold, along with certain additional “L-like” combinatorial principles. In particular, this model satisfies the following properties: (1) $♢_{δ}$ holds for every successor and Mahlo cardinal δ. (2) There is a stationary subset S of the least supercompact cardinal κ₀ such that for every δ ∈ S, $◻_{δ}$ holds and δ carries a gap 1 morass. (3) A weak version of $◻_{δ}$ holds for every...

Stationary reflection and level by level equivalence

Arthur W. Apter (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We force and construct a model in which level by level equivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness holds, along with certain additional “inner model like” properties. In particular, in this model, the class of Mahlo cardinals reflecting stationary sets is the same as the class of weakly compact cardinals, and every regular Jónsson cardinal is weakly compact. On the other hand, we force and construct a model for the level by level equivalence between strong compactness...

Supercompactness and partial level by level equivalence between strong compactness and strongness

Arthur W. Apter (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We force and construct a model containing supercompact cardinals in which, for any measurable cardinal δ and any ordinal α below the least beth fixed point above δ, if $δ^{+ α}$ is regular, δ is $δ^{+ α}$ strongly compact iff δ is δ + α + 1 strong, except possibly if δ is a limit of cardinals γ which are $δ^{+ α}$ strongly compact. The choice of the least beth fixed point above δ as our bound on α is arbitrary, and other bounds are possible.

On equivalence relations second order definable over H(κ)

Saharon Shelah, Pauli Vaisanen (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let κ be an uncountable regular cardinal. Call an equivalence relation on functions from κ into 2 second order definable over H(κ) if there exists a second order sentence ϕ and a parameter P ⊆ H(κ) such that functions f and g from κ into 2 are equivalent iff the structure ⟨ H(κ), ∈, P, f, g ⟩ satisfies ϕ. The possible numbers of equivalence classes of second order definable equivalence relations include all the nonzero cardinals at most κ⁺. Additionally, the possibilities are closed...

A Note on Indestructibility and Strong Compactness

Arthur W. Apter (2008)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

If κ < λ are such that κ is both supercompact and indestructible under κ-directed closed forcing which is also (κ⁺,∞)-distributive and λ is $2^{λ}$ supercompact, then by a result of Apter and Hamkins [J. Symbolic Logic 67 (2002)], δ < κ | δ is δ⁺ strongly compact yet δ is not δ⁺ supercompact must be unbounded in κ. We show that the large cardinal hypothesis on λ is necessary by constructing a model containing a supercompact cardinal κ in which no cardinal δ > κ is $2^{δ} = δ ⁺$ supercompact,...

The tree property at the double successor of a measurable cardinal κ with $2^{κ}$ large

Sy-David Friedman, Ajdin Halilović (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Assuming the existence of a λ⁺-hypermeasurable cardinal κ, where λ is the first weakly compact cardinal above κ, we prove that, in some forcing extension, κ is still measurable, κ⁺⁺ has the tree property and $2^{κ} = κ ⁺ ⁺ ⁺$ . If the assumption is strengthened to the existence of a θ -hypermeasurable cardinal (for an arbitrary cardinal θ > λ of cofinality greater than κ) then the proof can be generalized to get $2^{κ} = θ$ .

Compact scattered spaces in forcing extensions

Kenneth Kunen (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the cardinal sequences of compact scattered spaces in models where CH is false. We describe a number of models of $2^{ℵ ₀} = ℵ ₂$ in which no such space can have ℵ₂ countable levels.

Strong compactness, measurability, and the class of supercompact cardinals

Arthur W. Apter (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove two theorems concerning strong compactness, measurability, and the class of supercompact cardinals. We begin by showing, relative to the appropriate hypotheses, that it is consistent non-trivially for every supercompact cardinal to be the limit of (non-supercompact) strongly compact cardinals. We then show, relative to the existence of a non-trivial (proper or improper) class of supercompact cardinals, that it is possible to have a model with the same class of supercompact cardinals...

Initially $κ$ -compact spaces for large $κ$

Stavros Christodoulou (1999)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

This work presents some cardinal inequalities in which appears the closed pseudo-character, $ψ_{c}$ , of a space. Using one of them — $ψ_{c} (X) \leq 2^{d (X)}$ for $T_{2}$ spaces — we improve, from $T_{3}$ to $T_{2}$ spaces, the well-known result that initially $κ$ -compact $T_{3}$ spaces are $λ$ -bounded for all cardinals $λ$ such that $2^{λ} \leq κ$ . And then, using an idea of A. Dow, we prove that initially $κ$ -compact $T_{2}$ spaces are in fact compact for $κ = 2^{F (X)}$ , $2^{s (X)}$ , $2^{t (X)}$ , $2^{χ (X)}$ , $2^{ψ_{c} (X)}$ or $κ = max {τ^{+}, τ^{< τ}}$ , where $τ > t (p, X)$ for all $p \in X$ .

On the cardinality of Hausdorff spaces and Pol-Šapirovskii technique

Alejandro Ramírez-Páramo (2005)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

In this paper we make use of the Pol-Šapirovskii technique to prove three cardinal inequalities. The first two results are due to Fedeli [2] and the third theorem of this paper is a common generalization to: (a) (Arhangel’skii [1]) If $X$ is a $T_{1}$ space such that (i) $L (X) t (X) \leq κ$ , (ii) $ψ (X) \leq 2^{κ}$ , and (iii) for all $A \in {[X]}^{\leq 2^{κ}}$ , $|\bar{A}| \leq 2^{κ}$ , then $| X | \leq 2^{κ}$ ; and (b) (Fedeli [2]) If $X$ is a $T_{2}$ -space then $| X | \leq 2^{aql (X) t (X) ψ_{c} (X)}$ .

On families of Lindelöf and related subspaces of $2^{ω ₁}$

Lúcia Junqueira, Piotr Koszmider (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the families of all subspaces of size ω₁ of $2^{ω ₁}$ (or of a compact zero-dimensional space X of weight ω₁ in general) which are normal, have the Lindelöf property or are closed under limits of convergent ω₁-sequences. Various relations among these families modulo the club filter in ${[X]}^{ω ₁}$ are shown to be consistently possible. One of the main tools is dealing with a subspace of the form X ∩ M for an elementary submodel M of size ω₁. Various results with this flavor are obtained. Another...

Extraresolvability and cardinal arithmetic

Ofelia Teresa Alas, Salvador García-Ferreira, Artur Hideyuki Tomita (1999)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Following Malykhin, we say that a space $X$ is if $X$ contains a family $𝒟$ of dense subsets such that $| 𝒟 | > Δ (X)$ and the intersection of every two elements of $𝒟$ is nowhere dense, where $Δ (X) = min {| U | : U$ is a nonempty open subset of $X}$ is the of $X$ . We show that, for every cardinal $κ$ , there is a compact extraresolvable space of size and dispersion character $2^{κ}$ . In connection with some cardinal inequalities, we prove the equivalence of the following statements: 1) $2^{κ} < 2^{κ^{+}}$ , 2) ${(κ^{+})}^{κ}$ is extraresolvable and 3) $A {(κ^{+})}^{κ}$ is extraresolvable,...

Sy-David Friedman, Liuzhen Wu, Lyubomyr Zdomskyy (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Assuming V = L, for every successor cardinal κ we construct a GCH and cardinal preserving forcing poset ℙ ∈ L such that in $L^{ℙ}$ the ideal of all non-stationary subsets of κ is Δ₁-definable over H(κ⁺).
