Dec 2, 2013 at 19:18 comment added Yair Hayut I deleted my previous comments since they were completely wrong, as almost disjoint forcing shows. I think that we can follow Mohammad's suggestion to show that at least the minimal $\lambda < \kappa$ in which $2^\lambda \geq \kappa$, if exists, must be singular. The idea is to use $P = Add(\lambda,\kappa) \ast C$ where $C$ is a forcing that codes (using $\kappa$ almost disjoint sets of $2^{<\lambda}$ in $V$) the generic of $Add(\lambda,\kappa)$. The code itself will be a subset of $2^{<\lambda} < \kappa$, but there is not small sub-forcing $Q$ adding it.
Dec 1, 2013 at 9:31 comment added Mohammad Golshani Dear Monroe, what is the situation at successor cardinals? Maybe by a coding method you can show that no successor cardinal has the above mentioned property?

partial solution!
Nov 29, 2013 at 22:32 comment added Monroe Eskew You can show this by a "pseudo-generic tower" argument. If $\langle p_\alpha \rangle_{\alpha<\kappa} \subseteq P$ is an antichain in the extension by $\kappa$-closed $Q$, then we can get a descending sequence of conditions $\langle q_\alpha \rangle_{\alpha<\kappa} \subseteq Q$ such that $q_\alpha$ decides the value of $\dot{p}_\alpha$, and the sequence of decided values is an antichain in $V$.
Nov 29, 2013 at 21:41 comment added Trevor Wilson I wasn't sure whether $\kappa$-closed forcing preserved the $\kappa$-c.c. Does it? (Sorry if this is obvious.)
Nov 29, 2013 at 20:17 comment added Monroe Eskew It seems right to me. Take a $P$-name $\tau$ and collapse $P$ to have cardinality $\kappa$ with $\kappa$-closed forcing. $P$ retains the $\kappa$-c.c., and if it is still weakly compact then the extension says there are $Q,\sigma$ with the property. Now $Q,\sigma$ are in $V$ by the closure, and the statement $\Vdash_P \sigma = \tau$ is absolute. What's the worry?
Nov 29, 2013 at 17:27 comment added Trevor Wilson [Sorry, I think my comment may have been mistaken, so I deleted it. I'm not sure whether indestructibly weakly compact cardinals $\kappa$ have the property in question 2.]

Nov 27, 2013 at 6:36 comment added Asaf Karagila In the part about a supercompact, you might want to mean that $j[P]$ is a suborder of $j(P)$, not of $P$.
