A classical theorem of set theory is the equivalence of the weak square principle with the existence of a special Aronszajn tree on μ⁺. We introduce the notion of a weak square sequence on any regular uncountable cardinal, and prove that the equivalence between weak square sequences and special Aronszajn trees holds in general.
In §1, we observe that a weakly normal ideal has a saturation property; we also show that the existence of certain precipitous ideals is sufficient for the existence of weakly normal ideals. In §2, generalizing Solovay’s theorem concerning strongly compact cardinals, we show that is decided if carries a weakly normal ideal and λ is regular or cf λ ≤ κ. This is applied to solving the singular cardinal hypothesis.
