do behavior of gimel or GCH determine all infinte products of cardinals?

Let $Card$ be the class of infinite cardinals and $p\colon Card^2\to Card$ be given by $(\kappa,\lambda)\mapsto\kappa^\lambda$. Assuming GCH it is known that $p(\kappa,\lambda)$ is …

Is there always an uncountable $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^{\aleph_0}=2^\kappa$?

The cardinal equation $\kappa^{\aleph_0}=2^\kappa$ is satisfied by $\kappa=\aleph_0$. It is also satisfied by any $\kappa$ for which $MA(\kappa)$ holds. Under $GCH$, the equati …
