Singular Cofinality Conjecture and a Question of Gorelic
نویسنده
چکیده
We give an affirmative answer to a question of Gorelic [5], by showing it is consistent, relative to the existence of large cardinals, that there is a proper class of cardinals α with cf(α) = ω1 and αω > α.

Aspects of singular cofinality
We study properties of closure operators of singular cofinality, and introduce several ZFC sufficient and equivalent conditions for the existence of antichain sequences in posets of singular cofinality. We also notice that the Proper Forcing Axiom implies the Milner-Sauer conjecture.
متن کاملTwo Results in Combinatorial Set Theory
In this note we sketch the proofs of two results in combinatorial set theory. The common theme of the results is singular cardinal combinatorics: they involve the interaction between forcing, large cardinals, PCF theory and versions of Jensen’s weak square principle. 1. Changing cofinality Our first result involves an old question about changes of cofinality. Suppose that V,W are inner models o...
متن کاملAB - compacta Isaac
We define a compactum X to be AB-compact if the cofinality of the character χ(x, Y ) is countable whenever x ∈ Y and Y ⊂ X. It is a natural open question if every AB-compactum is necessarily first countable. We strengthen several results from [Arhangel’skii and Buzyakova, Convergence in compacta and linear Lindelöfness, Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin. 39 (1998), no. 1, 159–166] by proving the fol...
متن کاملA note on Fouquet-Vanherpe’s question and Fulkerson conjecture
The excessive index of a bridgeless cubic graph $G$ is the least integer $k$, such that $G$ can be covered by $k$ perfect matchings. An equivalent form of Fulkerson conjecture (due to Berge) is that every bridgeless cubic graph has excessive index at most five. Clearly, Petersen graph is a cyclically 4-edge-connected snark with excessive index at least 5, so Fouquet and Vanherpe as...
متن کاملON IDEALIZED VERSIONS OF Pr 1 ( μ
We obtain an improvement of some coloring theorems from [1], [6], and [2] for the case where the singular cardinal in question has countable cofinality. As a corollary, we obtain an “idealized” version of the combinatorial principle Pr1(μ, μ+, μ+, cf(μ)) that maximizes the indecomposability of the associated ideal.
