AbstractWe introduce the notion of ${\cal C}$-system of filters, generalizing the standard definitions of both extenders and towers of normal ideals. This provides a framework to develop the theory of extenders and towers in a more general and concise way. In this framework we investigate the topic of definability of generic large cardinals properties.

Qκλ. Pκλ the space of all < κ-sized subsets of λ, has provided numerous opportunities for the gainful employment of set theorists in recent years, thanks to its combinatorial richness and to its relationships with various large cardinals. In the spirit of Pκλ we offer the following definition:For κ ≤ λ both cardinals, Qκλ is the set of all partitions of λ into < κ-many pieces (an element of q ∈ Qκλ is called a piece of q). EquivalentlyAn element of Pκλ may be viewed as an injection from a < κ-sized set into λ, with some information thrown away. An element of Qκλ is a surjection from λ onto a < κ-sized set, with analogous loss of information.For p, q ∈ Qκλ, we say p ≤ q iff q is a refinement of p (every piece of q is contained in a piece of p).

AbstractIt is well known that saturation of ideals is closely related to the “antichain-catching” phenomenon from Foreman–Magidor–Shelah [10]. We consider several antichain-catching properties that are weaker than saturation, and prove:(1)If${\cal I}$is a normal ideal on$\omega _2 $which satisfiesstationary antichain catching, then there is an inner model with a Woodin cardinal;(2)For any$n \in \omega $, it is consistent relative to large cardinals that there is a normal ideal${\cal I}$on$\omega _n $which satisfiesprojective antichain catching, yet${\cal I}$is not saturated (or even strong). This provides a negative answer to Open Question number 13 from Foreman’s chapter in the Handbook of Set Theory ([7]).

AbstractIn this paper, assuming large cardinals, we prove the consistency of the following:Let n ∈ ω and k1, k2 ≤ n. Let f: ω → {k1, k2} be such that for all n1 < n2 ∈ f−1{k1},n2 − n1 ≥ 4. Then the setis stationary in The above is equivalent to the statement that for any structure on on ℵω, there is ≺ A such that ∣∣ = ωn and for all m > n, cf( ∩ ωm) = ωf(m).

The Ideal

Our framework is ZFC, and we view cardinals as initial ordinals. Baumgartner ([Bal] and [Ba2]) studied properties of large cardinals by considering these properties as properties of normal ideals and not as properties of cardinals alone. In this paper we study these combinatorial properties by defining operations which take as input one or more ideals and give as output an ideal associated with a large cardinal property. We consider four operations T, P, S and C on ideals of a regular cardinal κ, and study the structure of the collection of subsets they give, and the relationships between them.The operation T is defined using combinatorial properties based on trees 〈X, <T〉 on subsets X ⊆ κ (where α <T β → α < β). Given an ideal I, consider the property *: “every tree on κ with every branching set in I has a branch of size κ” (where a branching set is a maximal set with the same set of <T-predecessors, and a chain is a maximal <T-linearly ordered set; for definitions see §2). Now consider the collection T(I) of all subsets of κ that do not satisfy * (see Definition 2.2 and the introduction to §5). The operation T provides us with the large cardinal property (whether κ ∈ T(I) or not) and it also provides us with the ideal associated with this large cardinal property (namely T(I)); in general, we obtain different notions depending on the ideal I.

AbstractLet κ denote a regular uncountable cardinal and NS the normal ideal of nonstationary subsets of κ. Our results concern the well-known open question whether NS fails to be κ+-saturated, i.e., are there κ+ stationary subsets of κ with pairwise intersections nonstationary? Our first observation is:Theorem. NS isκ+-saturated iff for every normal ideal J on κ there is a stationary set A ⊆ κsuch that J = NS∣A = {X ⊆ κ: X ∩ A ∈ NS}.Turning our attention to large cardinals, we extend the usual (weak) Mahlo hierarchy to define “greatly Mahlo” cardinals and obtain the following:Theorem. If κ is greatly Mahlo then NS is notκ+-saturated.Theorem. If κ is ordinal Π11-indescribable (e.g., weakly compact), ethereal (e.g., subtle), or carries aκ-saturated ideal, thenκis greatly Mahlo. Moreover, there is a stationary set of greatly Mahlo cardinals below any ordinal Π11-indescribable cardinal.These methods apply to other normal ideals as well; e.g., the subtle ideal on an ineffable cardinal κ is not κ+-saturated.

Woodin Cardinal

In this paper we investigate towers of normal filters. These towers were first used by Woodin (see [15]). Woodin proved that if δ is a Woodin cardinal and P is the full stationary tower up to δ (P<δ) or the countable version (Q<δ), then the generic ultrapower is closed under < δ sequences (so the generic ultrapower is well-founded) ([14]). We show that if ℙ is a tower of height δ, δ supercompact, and the filters generating ℙ are the club filter restricted to a stationary set, then the generic ultrapower is well-founded (ℙ is precipitous). We also give some examples of non-precipitous towers. We also show that every normal filter can be extended to a V-ultrafilter with well-founded ultrapower in some generic extension of V (assuming large cardinals). Similarly for any tower of inaccessible height. This is accomplished by showing that there is a stationary set that projects to the filter or the tower and then forcing with P<δ below this stationary set.An important idea in our proof of precipitousness (Theorem 6.4) has the following form in Woodin's proof. If are maximal antichains (i Є ω and δ Woodin) then there is a κ < δ such that each Ai ∩ Vκ is semiproper, i.e.,contains a club (relative to ∣ a∣ < κ).

AbstractThe concept of jointness for guessing principles, specifically ${\diamondsuit _\kappa }$ and various Laver diamonds, is introduced. A family of guessing sequences is joint if the elements of any given sequence of targets may be simultaneously guessed by the members of the family. While equivalent in the case of ${\diamondsuit _\kappa }$, joint Laver diamonds are nontrivial new objects. We give equiconsistency results for most of the large cardinals under consideration and prove sharp separations between joint Laver diamonds of different lengths in the case of θ-supercompact cardinals.

The Continuum

AbstractThis paper deals with the question whether the assumption that for every inaccessible cardinal κ there is a well-order of H(κ+) definable over the structure $\langle {\rm{H}}({\kappa ^ + }), \in \rangle$ by a formula without parameters is consistent with the existence of (large) large cardinals and failures of the GCH. We work under the assumption that the SCH holds at every singular fixed point of the ℶ-function and construct a class forcing that adds such a well-order at every inaccessible cardinal and preserves ZFC, all cofinalities, the continuum function, and all supercompact cardinals. Even in the absence of a proper class of inaccessible cardinals, this forcing produces a model of “V = HOD” and can therefore be used to force this axiom while preserving large cardinals and failures of the GCH. As another application, we show that we can start with a model containing an ω-superstrong cardinal κ and use this forcing to build a model in which κ is still ω-superstrong, the GCH fails at κ and there is a well-order of H(κ+) that is definable over H(κ+) without parameters. Finally, we can apply the forcing to answer a question about the definable failure of the GCH at a measurable cardinal.
