The Failure of the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis and Scales
نویسنده
چکیده
Starting from a supercompact cardinal κ, we build a model, in which κ is singular string limit, the singular cardinal hypothesis fails at κ and there are no very good scales at κ. Moreover there is a bad scale at κ, and so weak square fails.

Aronszajn Trees and Failure of the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis
The tree property at κ states that there are no Aronszajn trees on κ, or, equivalently, that every κ tree has a cofinal branch. For singular strong limit cardinals κ, there is tension between the tree property at κ and failure of the singular cardinal hypothesis at κ; the former is typically the result of the presence of strongly compact cardinals in the background, and the latter is impossible...
متن کاملA Definable Failure of the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis
We show first that it is consistent that κ is a measurable cardinal where the GCH fails, while there is a lightface definable wellorder of H(κ+). Then with further forcing we show that it is consistent that GCH fails at אω, אω strong limit, while there is a lightface definable wellorder of H(אω+1) (“definable failure” of the singular cardinal hypothesis at אω). The large cardinal hypothesis use...
متن کاملA pr 1 99 2 ON THE SINGULAR CARDINAL HYPOTHESIS
The Singular Cardinal Hypothesis (SCH) asserts that if κ is any singular strong limit cardinal then 2 = κ. It is known to be consistent that the SCH fails: Prikry [Pr] obtains a model of ¬SCH from a model in which the GCH fails at a measurable cardinal κ, and Silver in turn (see [KM]) obtains the failure of the GCH at a measurable cardinal from a model for a κ-supercompact cardinal. Silver’s re...
متن کاملSimple proofs of SCH from reflection principles without using better scales
We give simple proofs of the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis from the Weak Reflection Principle and the Fodor-type Reflection Principle which do not use better scales.
متن کاملUltrafilters and Large Cardinals
This paper is a survey of basic large cardinal notions, and applications of large cardinal ultrafilters in forcing. The main application presented is the consistent failure of the singular cardinals hypothesis. Other applications are mentioned that involve variants of Prikry forcing, over models of choice and models of determinacy. My talk at the Ultramath conference was about ultrafilters and ...
